zenith r57w46 convergence

hi,

the only screen i can get on my tv is the menu.  i have had rainbow wiggly lines for the whole time i have owned.  zenith sent a repairman who noted my problem and arranged for a pick up.  they kept it a month and found nothing.  i dealt with it as it would go away in a half hour or sometimes if i turned it off.  now i just get rainbow wiggles and a menu and convergence on the menu cannot be selected.  it is grayed out and the cursor skips over.  zenith says sorry warranty expired!  any ideas???

When the repairman picked up

When the repairman picked up the set, did he see the problem, and did they see the problem in the shop ?

the repairman saw it and

the repairman saw it and could duplicate it with cold spray.  however whe they picked it up and took it in they coud not find the problem.  as soon as it was returned it began again.

Is it still intermittent?

Is it still intermittent? Sounds like loose connections on one of the convergence IC's or intermittent IC. If inspection of connections doesn't reveal something loose change the convergence IC's they are $15-30 each.
