Usually I find it is just one amp and a resistor or two. A Button in front of the DCU is on all but the earliest will get you into service mode. Convg usually only needs a touch up. low end models may not have Magic Focus [love the name it's not magic and it's not focus] follow the instructions to touch {and inilitilze if it has MF}. Rare but couple of times I found the memory got corrupted then you may need the overlay to do a full convergence. trickiest part I have found is trying to converge the lines in the horz plane only. after getting it close the line will tend to meander and the more you adjust it the more it will meander. the fix is that when you get the adjustment close is to keep the courser one step ahead of the point you are watching to adjust. If the courser is off the screen the V size may be set a bit too large, I have seen this a lot and usually just leave it but be careful not to adjust areas you can't see as it will change the lin for that color between the pattern lines and you won't notice till you exit SM and look at the picture.
