its nothing to do with degauss. You should find a repair shop that will

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.

That's the model. It seems to have a very good picture and geometry compared
to more modern "better" flatscreen units, but if the bit's that much and is
that much of a pain to install, it might not be worth it.
