A magnet touched my screen

My son touched my television screen with a magnet in two spots leaving two discolored areas on the screen,purple and green in hue. I read many quick solutions to this problem on the net and none seemed to work completely,so what i did is took the same magnet that touched the screen and held it in my fist,then with TV on i waved my fist all around the screen working from the spots outward to the edges and this worked completely! Hope this helps someone..

unplug the set overnight and turn on cold.. if the degussing is working it will fix the problem but if it took away some of the discolor on the screen but not all of it then try this step a few times.. After a few days a degussing coil will be needed to clear up any color spots.

DO NOT DEGAUSS SONY TELEVISIONS. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED. DO HARD RESET IF PIC DOESNOT CLEAR UP REPLACE CRT

seriously this works..... put a electric mixer over the spot on your screen and turn it on, not joking it works great

Solution #2 works completely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
