Do the geometry controls work otherwise? Do the R and B convergence zones work in coarse and fine modes?

I will check the menu convergence today.
This projector had a bad controller. Now it have another controller pulled from Reality 909.
A technician reprogrammed the firmware because it did not work with firmware 909.
Unfortunately I do not know if this version of firmware is compatible with Cinemax.
Here there are two 9": a Reality 909 and Cinemax.
I watched the two "convergence tray" and they appear completely different!

THere are indeed at least two types of convergence boards. Most likely the controller blew the convergence board. I can repair your convergence board.

We tried to swap another (working) convergence output ... no fix problem!

You need to swap the controller AND the convergence board at the same time. If not, try swapping the V board.

Thank you Curt

The swap of the vertical board (from a BR909) was the first thing we tried.
The projector has shown an "ic" error.
