Toshiba 42HP66 red specks on the screen

[Malachi]

I picked up this tv today. Going to give it to my nephew. It's viewable, he would use it to play wii or Xbox.

I've read somewhere that there is a way to maybe get rid of the specks or lessen them by adjusting something?

I found this, http://www.fixya.com/support/t182276...ixles_in_black
But I trust this site more. It mentions adjusting setup or setdn on the ysus. Does that sound plausible?

That didn't solve it.

Gueswork....but what are the solder joints like around the coils on the X and Y boards because they tend to crack over time.

I seem to recall that adjusting the voltages (but I cannot remember which) can reduce the speckles. Hopefully someone will be able to advise you further as to which one(s) to adjust.

I tried adjusting both. To take the ysus off I'd have to remove the main board. These things at not user friendly. I've already put the back on. It has 50 screws.
It's good enough for my 10 year old nephew.
It's not that bad with a picture on. I also went into the service menu and turned the red drive down, making it less noticeable.
