Blue dots on the screen and blue flame on side of tv screen

Sony 50 inch Grand Wega. I purchased in 2004. What causes this and can it be fixed? KDF-50WE655.

Thanks in advance!

    My TV is doing the same thing. There are blue dots scattered along the bottom and some are so close together that it just looks like a solid blue haze. It continues to worsen by slowly moving across and up the TV.

thats a common symptom for that model which is usually related to the optical block. Very exspensive repair. Check with a sony authorized repair center as Sony has recognized the problem and offer assistance with certain models yours may be one of the ones affected.

Not knowing what type of TV you have dosen't help, but if it is LCD or plasma, the problem is pixel failure. There is no repair, only replacement
