Sony WP-57HW40 Green Horiz lines

   I realize that there are several similar issues with this specific RPTV, but mine seems a little more specific.  A few days ago, while my brother was using the TV, he heard a few snaps or pops, and suddenly the colors became very distorted, mainly the green. 

   I found on this site how to get into the Manual Convergence mode, using the [Display] -> [5] -> [Volume +] -> [Power On] thing.  I can align the Blue and Red colors just fine, but the Green is having issues.  I can get the Vertical lines to move horizontally and converge, but when I try to move the Horizontal lines up and down, nothing happens.  Period.

   I have gone all the way up, and all the way back down, and elictited no response out of them.  I read that the Pico fuses may have blown, and since that seems to fit with the poping noise, I need to figure more out about them.  What are they, where can I buy them, where are they in the TV, how much do they cost, etc.  Any more information would be greatly appreciated.
