MY EXPERTISE 

SONY KV32XBR45

CONVERGENCE PROBLEM
SYMPTOM
Unit has mis-convergence of red and blue vertical lines. They are displacement in horizontally.
SOLUTION
R789 open H-state not operational. What I'm finding is a resistor that appears to be open on this "C" board It is R789 The value cannot be read nor is it listed in the ESI software parts list. Trying another value from 10 to 20 megohms. This resistor is in the ground return of the H-stat resistor that is installed in the CRT. Tech needs to try different values to try and make this set converge horizontally. This TV converged with a 10 megohm resistor.
