    OH NO! Not during the NHL Finals!
    My TV seems to have a problem. Panasonic PT-51HX41 projection TV.
    I am getting duplicate images or ghosting and the blue colors are all out of whack. The images of the players on the ice all have a yellow ghost image with them and the right side of the ice is yellow. Everything seems to be blue tinted also. I tried to use the convergance setting to fix it and couldn't get the crosses on the right side to line up. Is this something I can fix myself, I'm pretty good with a wrench. My son and his buddies were playing hida and seek and I think someone decided to hide behind the TV and maybe bumped it or tipped it, of course nobody knows anything... Any help on this one?
    Thanks

    There are two causes to produce this problem :

    Indeed the convergance could be completely out, but you can set that by using a special test picture for that.

    However it seems more that your system has been magnetised by something (by holding a radio or another item with a strong magnet against the wrong place).

    Never even think of getting a wrench near to any electronic unit!
    Demagnetizing requires a special tool, that most repairman have in their toolbox.

    Success!
