So Just like most of the people posting on here my tv picture has gone to crap! I've had this tv for about 5 years and the convergence has never stayed put more than a week. When I got to realign it the single point alignment never works? I always end up doing the 1,000,000 point alignment of which yellow is always crap.

Q1: What would cause this? I assume the IC board by reading on here, but unlike a samsung I've fixed before it doesn't seem like there's a "IC Board" by itself.

That being the case how do i figure out what I need to change? is it the "IC Semiconductors" the "IC ANA" the "IC Tea" there's like a million IC's??? Once I figure out what to change, how do I figure out a part number?

Q2:I have a foggy picture and tons of halo action going on (not the video game). It seems like whites are the worst? what would cause this? I plan on changing the coolant by using this http://www.riddledtv.com/journal/CRTCoolant/index.html thread, but is there anything else that could be causing either the bad alignment or blurry picture?

All your help is much appreciated!
