Lately there seems to be allot of people with problems on CTR RPTV's with the convergence IC chips going bad. It seems to be very brand specific as well as I rarely see Sony displays with this issue. My RPTV is over 7 years old now and still have never had any issues with it. Is there something we as RPTV owners should do or can do to prolong its lifespan?

I go into the back of my set and blow out the dust off the circuit boards once a year and clean the lenses with a damp cloth and re adjust the convergence from the service menu once every 3 months or so. What else can a person do?

Thanks Leonard, Good information. It amazes me how much dust builds up in just a year in the back of RPTVs around the circuit boards it seems as though they are a bit of a magnet and it pulls the dust in. PCs are just as bad for the dust build up.
