FUBARD Buy a new set, 12 year old probably will cost more to repair than what it's worth.

Quarter and half-dollar size splotches of blue and red have appeared on
my screen following a sudden cable disruption. The splotches seem to be
sandwiched between three layers in the screen, with the reds behind the
blues. I have no idea what, if anything, can be done about these
distracting color blots, and I don't even know what to properly call
them.

My set is approximately 12 years old (out of warranty) and has performed
flawlessly since day one. Can anyone help me get started on searching
for a cause of this problem or a fix?

I live on an island where the local TV technician has no idea what the
problem might be. Moving the large 'home theatre' to the mainland
without knowing the problem or potential cost is a tad out of the
question.

Thank-you for your time.

Gabby
