TV Schematic

My TV JVC AV-29sx2ek needs a new image microprocessor?

My TV JVC AV-29sx2ek needs a new image microprocessor (told by service guy). Is this an easy install i.e. just a socketed IC, or is it soldered on? A service manual would be awesome if anyone has one. Symptoms are a line that goes accross the screen and the TV automates to standby when warm (about an hour). He has also told me to replace a resistor in the -13v shelf which is no problem, I just need to know more about what this IC is and ideally where I can source one? I do have electronics experience. (I usually build valve amplifiers for guitars and have worked on a few custom chipsets for companies) I have a good stock of replacement resistors and a google search has told me the correct one is a 1w 1ohm (which I have plenty of). I think I just need the service manual so I can be sure to get hold of the correct microprocessor to replace the faulty one with. See its my parents tv and due to the distance, it would be best if I could get all the parts I need before I head down there. J

1. if you have no experience in electronics repair you have no business inside that set replacing anything. leave it alone and let somone who knows what they are doing fix it before you do more harm than good
2. This sounds like a convergence ic problem. Most likely there are 2 convergence ic's in the set (i asume this is a projection crt type tv) this would require soldering and getting the correct ic's. Most convergence ic's have been upgraded so getting the correct updated ic's is a must. I would not attempt to do this one as this will most likely need alignments after the parts are replaced. Most repair companies will charge between $350 and $450 for this type of repair (includes parts). I hope this helps!
