Set is only approx 4 years old; never had a problem until now. Recently noticed a yellowish "blob" or smear in the upper right hand quadrant of the screen. Really noticable against a white background, but blends into a color image. Stain appears constant in size/shape regardless of input.
Tried running "Magic Focus" convergence reset several times without result. Even cleaned the outer glass screen to ensure it wasn't an external stain...unfortunately, it wasn't.
I see this as an excellent opportunity to buy a new flat screen TV...my wife, on the other hand, insists I try to get it fixed, or tells me to ignore it.
Regardless, appreciate any/all advice or help you can give.
thanks!

The fuser is shot....this is the unit that uses heat and pressure to fuse the toner to the page. It is primarily when the pressure roller wears that you get crinkling and bad fusing, but I'm sure the upper sleeve has seen better days as well. These days it is (sadly) cheaper to replace this printer with a new little HP -only around $100 or so.

This is a FIRMWARE problem. do not let someone replace any parts in your TV.
I had a repair guy come out with a small computer and he took the back off of my tv, plugged in the computer and the red dot slowly began to disappear.
