I have an RCA 52” HDTV Model R52WM24 the other day it developed a convergence problem (The picture took on a 3D effect and it the screen had an hour glass type of shape)
This appears to be a common problem or a pattern failure. I wanted to confirmthat I did find the fusep/n FL231 to be blown. I think it said the RCA part # is 259213 and it is a 400 ma, 125V fuse, Looks like a square capacitor by the fly back xfmr.
I bought a generic part from Digi Key and it seems to be the identical replacement part to the fuse that was in the circuit.
The Digi-Key part is part # WK4440BK-ND (99 CENTS EACH). THIS IS A 125V, 400 MA ( 0.4 A FUSE). Digi Key PHONE # IS 1-800-344-4539
I am watching the TV right now for last 3 hours and it seems to be a good fix. The fly back transformer solder connections looked good but it is recommended to re solder these part ( so I did).
Go to menu then setup Look to see if you have convergence on it ,if its not their you have a blow Fuse FL231 It will be on bottom left hand side board Deflection board that has your FBT flyback Transfomer on it on the right hand side of FBT are 3 in a roll small brown rectrandler looking caps but are Fuses it will be the one in the Middle

Check open resistor just beside flyback transformer.
