Hello, I have the same problem with my TV you had a while back.

I saw your pics of the TV on esnip.com, they were very helpful, I am going to change the IC for the convergence problem, will that also fix the slight curve on the left hand side that I see sometimes on the screen.

Also, how did you get the board out of the TV, on which the IC needs to be changed?

Will appreciate your response.

Thanks
AJ
