Shadow down right side of screen on a toshiba 44NHM84 44" DLP television

I have seen this problem on the internet but never a solution. I have a 5" wide shadow down right side of screen on a Toshiba 44NHM84 44" DLP television. The set is barely a year old. It happened overnight one day and has been like this for about 2 months. You can still see the picture through the shadow. Any ideas?

    Have a 8" shadow down the left side of the screen. Set worked well for over a year but then developed this problem over night. Saw on one of the forums that it could be related to a problem with the light engine. called the local Toshiba rep and found out that to replace the light engine would cost almost as much as I paid for the set. Any solutions?

    I"ve had about a 4-inch shadow on the right side of my screen for over 2 years now. One day it just appeared. It's not dirty. I suspect the mirrors or the color wheel inside may need to be adjusted, i've been too worried to open it up myself

Shadows at the bottom of the screen sound like moisture that was "wicked up" between the screen layers and dryed out leaving a stain. DO NOT get these screens wet, use nothing but a damp soft cloth; just a few drops of water running down the screen can cause a fairly large stain. Some people have suggested that they may be professionally cleaned, but the risk of damage is too great on the user level.
