Today I walked into the living room to find my 2 year old swiping a magnet over the TV screen, causing pretty pink patterns. Imagine my dismay to find the patterns are now permanent.
Now the TV is pretty old and I suppose we can afford a new one, but I'd rather not buy one just yet, you know the HD ones will surely be cheaper soon.
So does anyone know of a way to reverse this problem?
Thanks =]

It set up magnetic fields - electron beams that light up the face of the picture tube are directed magnetically to hit the exact spots required for the right colours etc.... he messed it up. To prevent this, tvs have a degaussing coil which triggers briefly when the tv is turned on. This removes any stray unwanted fields. It may take a few days - if it doesn't clear up in a week, a shop can degauss the tube for you using a coil in front of the screen. Possibly your tv's internal degaussing coil isn't working too.

Call a reputable tv repair shop they have a tool called a magic wand (no joke) they can restore the colour back to normal the last time i got this done for a customer it cost £35.00

your TV may have a 'degaussing' option in the menu; if there isnt one, this should go off after a couple of days
