I have had a 48inch Mits HDTV for less than three years and one night the colors went out of wack. There is a green line going across the middle of the screen. Also the colors bend on the sides at the bottom of the screen. I went into the Convergence screen and the blue and red are bent towards the bottom. I connot manually adjust the lines like I ussually can and restoring the factory defaults did nothing. I was wondering if I can fix this, knowing little about tvs, or if I need to get a professional to do it, and how much will that cost. Theyve already said its $70 just to come look at it.
Thanks
Pearce

A Model # would be helpful. You probably have bad convergence IC'S
Expect a $300.00 repair on this one.
