I have been at this tv before in times past and have not found any clue as to what could be the cause. The customer is concerned about phosphor burn. The spot is getting larger also. The only clue I have had in the past is the transistor Q1906 (I might have the wrong number )which should be the luminance buffer. Replacing this one did no improvement at all. There should be a spot killer circuit or equivalent on this chassis but I do not know where or what parts make it up. Could someone help me with this. TIA.
