Blue focus when I try to run the "perfect focus", the blue will not focus. I had the set repaired a year ago, when the Power supplies blew. I got the set back with a 4" red line in the middle of the set, that was blamed on a bad red projector. now for the last 2 months I have added the blue focus problem. I liked the set, but only about 4 years old. Expected more, although it is used as a primary set. 6 to 10 hours daily. got itt new for only 1200. Time to punt? (last repair was shafted to the tune of 600. thanks for any help Rollbuck

Sounds like the place you took it to get servicer turned up the screen control when you had no picture problem that was a no vertical causeing a vertical line. but the service center let it run too long causing the line to burn in the tube. very bad for a repair center to do this. cant believe the got you for 600. thats well overboard. now you got a blue convergance problem because its erroring out durrent the blue reading in the test. what you need is to take off the screen turn on the tv. look in each tube for that line. now you can tell what tube needs replaced. then check convergance ic's they are big black ic's that stand up and mounted on a heat sync for cracked solder. might want to go ahead and solder them anyways in case you cant see or dont know what your lookin at. also check all the resisters in that area for burns. if that does not fix your problem, try replacing the ic's using mcm electronics. they are on the web. and the part number from the front of the ics.
