RCA D52W19 (52"HDTV)
The common culprit for this problem is a defective Focus/Screen control block. It is located behind a removable panel in the front under the speaker grill. It is a little black box mounted up along the top of the opening with two rows of three openings for adjustment of the Red, Green and Blue "focus" and "Screen" (brightness) settings. They often get contaminated with dust which is attracted by the high voltage flowing through this block. It is held on by a single screw and has 9 push on/off wires into the back of it. The replacement is fairly straightforeward, just keep track of which wires go where. Leave the set unplugged and powered down for a day or so and the voltages should all have bled away to ground by then.
