Default Anybody Work On Projection TV's

My big screen is jackin up and I can't figure out why. The picture dips down in the center like the screen is draping or somethin and it's makin the colors come up off focus. So I have a blue screen, a red screen and a yellow screen all showing at the same time just off center of each other. This just happened out of the blue, TV hadn't been moved, fiddled with or anything else.

I've tried cleanin the screen and the projection lenses but no help and the mirror still seems to be secure in it's housing.

It's Sony 51" if that makes any difference.

Found the Auto Alignment Button and gave it a shot but it didn't fix it. I think the colors are out of alingment because somethin in the screen is jacked up causing the screen to dip in the middle on the top and bottom of it.

it's usually one of the driver chips. I got a free 42" one because this was happening, replaced $12 in parts and it works great. the only drawback is you need to do a factory alignment which is a PITA! and you need a special jig to lay on the screen to align up everything but I did mine by eye, not perfect but close enough. do some searching online and I'm sure there's more info
