Once upon a time, I dropped my tv on it’s face. It developed little ‘blotches’ of discoloration along the sides of the screen. No consistent color, they’d just distort certain colors (blue became kind of purple, ect)…
How can I fix this? Do I need to take it to a shop with a degausser? What does that cost?
A degauser wont help. Although the problems look similar. dropping the tv probably disaligned the coils at the back of the picture tube. A service tech in a repair shop may be able to fix that.
