    Plasma display with 2 issues

    I recently came into a Pioneer elite 1000HDI display.

    The device functions pretty well but has two noticeable issues.

    Firstly, there is a region of the screen towards the right side in which the highlights are tinted cyan/green. The affected area is centered about 1/5th of the way in from the edge, and just above the vertical center, and the green tint fades out from this point.The bottom right corner is not affected.
    In dark scenes it is not perceptible, but on an all white screen is it very pronounced. This is the issue which bothers me, and I wonder if is fixable.

    The screen has another less troublesome issue which I am also going to detail in case they may be somehow related. The top center of the screen occasionally gets blown out, blocky and pixelated. This only occurs in very specific circumstances, and very rarely. Particularly underwater shots aimed towards the water's surface are the most likely way to reproduce this issue.

    I appreciate any help in diagnosing this issue, and while I hope it is repairable, the unit is still acceptable in its current condition. My wife doesn't seem to have noticed either issue.

    I have attached an illustration (not a photo) of the issue as it appears on an all white screen. The intensity of the tint is exaggerated.

    Ok, the second issue I have determined after further observation to be the commonly discussed "sparklies" issue. The cause and remedy however, I am still hazy about. Does the localized nature (top center) have any bearing on troubleshooting actions?

    Is this possibly related to the more prominent malfunction I have described?
