Fix green lines in Sony rear projection TV in less than 15 minutes

A while ago I noticed green lines in my Sony projection TV. From various links on the internet I saw blogs on how it could be fixed. So I figured I'd try it. If it didn't work, then the TV was trash anyway becuase it's cheaper to buy a flat screen TV. This costs nothing, zippo, nada, $0, With a little know how and some gentle touch, I tried it.
Now make sure that your focus is OK. There is a focus button on the front of the TV that aligns the convergence. Mine was OK. Sometimes mine would blink blue and turn off. The focus may fix that also. Other links will show you how to replace those convergence chips.
Now this is MY disclaimer. (BTW.. I know I said vertical.. I meant horizontal. Do not get stuck on the small stuff. You get the idea) If you have a warrenty, do not performed this or it will coid void your warrenty. I'm saying this worked for my TV and may not work for your TV.. It you mess up your TV, be prepared to throw it out. I will not take responsiblilty for your TV. Only mine.. It's up to you to do this procedure or not. Good Luck.....

Same TV and same problem but my speaker panel does not have the two screws you show and I cannot figure out how to get the cover off. Any ideas?

Worked perfectly, I was about to throw my TV out. I have a slightly different model, more of the front of the TV comes off in the first step.

What I noticed too, was that the paint on all three screws seemed to indicate the position they should be in (when paint was directly on the top) after adjusting all three, the picture quality, not just the color, increased dramatically.

I don't know if the screws just moved over time, or on the 3 moves the TV has been through.

Thanks!

Worked like a champ on my 52" Sony. Now, why are my widescreen edges (letterboxes) brighter and cleaner looking than the rest of the screen?

Either this TV has very little usage on it or this was fixed or newer than Sony's optical block failure.
