Thanks for really helpful posts. Fish tank magnet worked a treat, so worth trying this (if you have one) before you start ordering equipment from Hong Kong. We waved it around the front of the screen a few times, which helped a little, then my six year old had the brain wave of putting it on top of the TV which took a bit of time but has worked - picture still a tiny bit purplish at the edges but almost perfect. THANK YOU THERENCE! Hey! Thanks for really helpful posts. Fish tank magnet worked a treat, so worth trying this (if you have one) before you start ordering equipment from Hong Kong.

I have two (antique) computor monitors that were purchased in 2003. Yes I know they are dinasauers but they work great with my photographic art. Anyhow, one of them has bothersome diagonal lines that seem to be getting worse and I was told by a very tech sabby friend to "degauss" it but Dell, the maufacturer, has still not been able to verify or confirm that this is the problem so I located the same website that you referred to regarding the degausser you ordered from Hong Kong. I am fearfull however, to use a degauser near my hard drive. How do I eliminate that problem? Have any suggestions? I don't want to trash the monitor if it can be reaired. Also, I would like to ask you a few questions involving blogging. Can you contact me direct via my e-mail? Thanks! Great Blog!

The same thing has happened to me and I've ordered one of those degaussers from Hong Kong myself. I was just wondering if you could explain what you mean by 'then rotate the deguasser so it’s smallest profile is facing the screen and turn it off' please? Which bit do you point at the TV, and do you then have to point a different bit at it? Sorry to be thick, thanks in advance! Jo Hi Adem

The unit arrived at my U.S. home in 10 days, with Chinese character instructions, but I had 90% success using the unit as I had used my tape head mini-degausser. Thanks for helping me clear the blue corners of my beloved TV. Long live the CRT!

I think I had it on too long and shorted it. I tried fixing it but to no avail and so I've ordered another one. Still cheaper than getting it fixed or buying a new TV.

I bought the set [Sony 24"] some seven or more years ago second-hand £190 and have been prepared to let it go a few times before when it showed the patches until I heard about degaussing and discovered that the set adjusted itself overnight.

It should work immedietely but as always there's a time when your TV has to say goodbye....

It should work immedietely but as always there’s a time when your TV has to say goodbye….

Is this normal? Or is the tool defective? No immdediate success... though the tv usually adjusts itself when turned off at night and on in the morning.

Et voila, a reversing magnetic field. Or get a strong magnet, and tape it to the fron of a drill. Et voila, a reversing magnetic field.
