WS-55511 was watching and all of a sudden the top half of he screen ghosts. Is this a symptom of the convergence IC I have been seeing discussed a lot?

first step is to change the IC if you cannot adjust it.

I am able to move the red and blue andjustment lines, but as you can see the green is curved upward on the sides. If I am able to make adjustments does this mean that it is not the IC and possibly something else?

Pulled main chassis to do a visual inspection...everything looked good other than the wife obviously does not know how to dust in there...what a slacker. With the TV on thought I would push on the IC heat sink gently to see if maybe the solder joints are loose and presto TV goes off. TV now will turn on and instantly off. Does this help narrow down the problem...bad IC and check fuses/resistors?

:duh:Am I just making matters worse or did I maybe help myself a little. In a side note after it turns off the light does not flash. Error code is 12 normal operation
