Heard a brief high-pitch whine, then a click and the screen went all wacko. Not just a typical convergence, but a seeming spherical abberation. Can correct convergence in one area, and the other areas un-align. Is this anything relatively straightforward? None of the bulbs seem out. I'm decent with components and electronics, but would need perhaps reference to pictures, if it's not visibly obvious. Thanks.
This sounds like convergence output IC problem. convergence board would have to be removed - remove and replace 2 STK IC's and check the surrounding resistors. Shops usually $200-$400 Be sure to vote/rate me if this helped Thanks! See link for more detail http://www.ehow.com/how_4575598_yourself-projection-tv-repair-convergence.html

I have two issues with the picture on my screen. 1)There is a red tint on the screen. I've tried adjusting all of the color options, but it remains. 2)My tv doesn't show the color green. If I'm watching a football game, the field appears to be a grayish, reddish, brownish type of color. Extremely dull. Some images, such as a jersey seem to be green, but I may just be fooling myself into thinking it's green. Ive also noticed this on food commercials. Lettuce looks brown, instead of green. Are these two issues related? Is it an easy fix, or will I need to take it in?

I have a panasonic tv PT 4743 that turns on and than sounds like it is shutting off and than I get three blinking red lights in the led. Can this be easy to fix? Thanks
