its nothing to do with degauss. You should find a repair shop that will
do a no fix no fee job. IME the smaller and more backstreet a repair
shop, the more chance of them getting it done within budget. Dont waste
time with the fancier premises.

I'd also get a free or low charge estimate quote while you are at it.
This model, it's full number 28PW6315/05 (or similar) features the A10E
chassis with an expensive 'painter' £50 chip with hot air soldering
equipment required to replace it. An experienced TV Tech should be able
to tell you (due to the amount of sets he has worked through) if the
convergence faults and colour flashing is likely a phenomenon of this
chip failing - if so the repair could get costly :-(. But then again it
could be something pretty trivial like a toasted capacitor.
