Magnet near the Sceen - now discoloration

 

Message

My child recently placed a strong magnet near the sceen of my Sanyo television.  Now I have discolored 'spots' on the screen and I am unable to get rid of them.  Is there any way to correct this problem?  Thanks for your help.

I found that running a hair dryer or a drill in front of the screen in a circular motion helps in moving the spots or removing them altogether.  I too have a 27" sanyo that is overly sensitive to magnets, power chords, big chunks of metal, etc.... It takes practice - sometimes you make new spots in new paces, but its curable.  Some sanyo's won't degauss even if you power cycle them a bunch of times.....
