The customer described this symptom as above adding that the center of the screen looks fairly ok but the top and bottom is mostly affected. if I had to guess I would say that it sounds like a dynamic convergence problem but I've been burned on trying to do these in home convergence repairs before so I'm not jumping into this one without (hopefully) some help. I asked him if the convergence screen comes up and works at all and he says that when he selects "magic focus" he gets a 3. Does any of this make any sense? I would like to start doing some more in home service on large screens as the smaller set work is drying up but I'm not familiar with this set or these symptoms at all. Does this sound like anything familiar on this set and fixable in the home? Thanks very much for any assistance. Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics

The "3" is an error code from the aborted magic focus attempt. You likely need to replace the STKs, and carefully check for burned low value resistors right off the STKs as Art suggested. Most of the time the resistors are OK, but if they are smoked, they need to be exact in value.
