Yellow residual image/smear

Your Optic blog has failed. The bulb will not fix that. There was a class aciton lawsuit against Sony about this a few years ago. The Optic block must be replaced(only posibble fix) Sony Rear Projection LCD TV

To fix it out of pocket would be ridiculously expensive($800+). Return the lamp or use it until the image is too bad to watch. Then treat yourself to a new TV.

I am well versed on this issue and would not recommend fixing this

I have a older 2006 SXRD rear projection TV. I had the same problem after the TV warmed up this yellow tint started in the corner and crawled its way down the TV. It turned out that Sony had a recall on the optic block of the TV. If you replaced the Lamp and adjusted the color this kinda sounds like the same problem. Here is a link explaining it. In this article it shows up as a green haze and blob, but in my TV it manifested as a yellow tint.

The 4 second ticking indicates the battery is in need of replacing.

A professional watchmaker can properly replace the battery for you.

Hope this helps,

The blob is a phisically damaged part of the LCD screen. Unfixable, the screen must be replaced and it will be expensive.

Convergence failed, expect to pay around $350

I have the same tv and the same problem, but my yellow is a cloud around the outside of the screen. My tv was recently moved, and a repair shop told me that sometimes in a move these tvs light engine takes a shock and causes a yellow "band" on the screen. I am hearing that these light engines are not cheap either. Hope this helps you.

A two by two grid forms four quadrants. In the upper left quadrant, place a 4. In the upper right quadrant place a 2. In the lower left quadrant, place an eight. In the lower right quadrant place a 5. Horizontally, the numbers 42 and 85 are formed. Vertically, you form the numbers 48 and 25. The sum total of these numbers is 200. 42 + 85 + 48 + 25 = 200.
