No bugs, only dust....it looks like a nickle to quarter sized out-of-focus spot only seen when the background is really dark/no video. Take a can of dry air (radio shack) and get a very long bristled artist brush made with soft fibers to knock out any dust in the optical block assy.....if you can't find one, don't worry about the brush, as the chance of success is 50/50. Each section of the TV comes out as such----sections. Lift and pull out the electrical section on the left, being careful of the very thin ribbon cables going to the light engine. Loosen the cables from their respective clamps before doing anything. There are 3 screws holding the light engine in from the backside....Brass screws, one is tucked under and left of the light, the other two are actually squeezed under one of the boards actually attached to the light block.....you'll find them. Once you've gotten that out, the topside will have a couple screws that hold a cover on....remove them and you should be looking straight into the LCD block....if not, then there's another cover and more screws, bring your jewelers phillips drivers. Blow it out, the long brush goes into the slots by the ribbon cables, thenput it back together....and hope they don't have to replace the light block....if so, take permanent markers to color code the connections before replacement (the light block comes with the boards attached, since they are "mated" to the optics) Damon Brunger Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne IN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony S" <tcselectronics@xxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 10:28 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Sony KF60WE610 LCD projo- discoloration in corner > Good Day gentlemen, > > Going on my first LCD projo ( Its about time, I know).
