LOL, yesterday I paid a TV guy to fix my 3 year old big screen TV.
I couldn't troubleshoot it myself cause I don't know squat about TVs. I knew from research it was something to do with the convergence system but that was it.

I made sure he understood that I wanted each and every part he replaced.
He changed out two IC chips that control the convergence.
$350.

I googled the part number off the chips this morning, $9.99 each.
$330 labor for 1/2 hour work.
You can bet if the TV ever screws up the same way again I'll be replacing those chips myself.
