Default magnet on tv screen

If the mask in the CRT is not damaged, this will probably clear in a number
of days, from the degasser cycling every time the set is powered off and on
again.

The other way to clear this, is to have a hand held CRT degaussing coil, and
demagnetize the screen.

i might be on a loser here but does anybody know if you can fix a tv
screen after a magnet has been held against it(my 4 year old daughter)
it is a sony 28" crt widescreen tv. there is discolour in one corner
where the magnet has actually touched the screen.
if not the tv is a rental anyway so i will have to return it a play
dumb about the problem.
any help would be great
thanks
