The customer phoned for a service call on this set. He says that he
has what
he describes as little specks on the screen. He says its like looking
at the
stars at night if this makes any sense. I'm trying to determine if
this is
repairable in the home or if I should have him bring it in. Does
anyone have
any ideas about these strange symptoms from what I've tried to
describe?
Thanks, Lenny

If the spots show like white spots on a dark background - this sounds
like a bad DLP chip, assuming this is a DLP set, of course...

Hung mirrors in the DLP chip - we see it fairly often.

no different than stuck pixels on a LCD screen.
I have one on the PC monitor I'm using right now,but at least it's near the
top edge,in a non-annoying area.

Is it a big job to change a DLP chip? What is involved? Thanks, Lenny
