TV degauss
These are hot days so I put a large electric-motor fan in my living room. And it worked fine. But it was also close to TV. And now I have an interesting problem — due to the electromagnetic emissoin from the fan’s engines which were close to the TV (I can’t really think of any other reason), the TV now has developed a gauss effect and its picture is green-tinted on the right and left edges. So I would need to degauss it.
The question is, how the hell do I do that? My monitor has a degauss feature, but not the TV. The wikipedia article says many TV-s have a degauss happening at power-on, but my el cheapo one doesn’t seem to have this feature at all 
So am I screwed forever until I get a new TV?
On the other hand, when watching football the grass is supposed to be green anyway so it wouldn’t really matter? …

Yes, it’s soooo hot in Estonia, almost 30 degrees
i should go away in time…s
Just remove the fan and the TV will get better over time. Some actually have a degauss in the menu if I remember correctly.
Just wave a strong magnet over the screen and around the edges - works for me!
How about shielding the fan’s motor?
Phil — thanks for the suggestion, but a bit too late for it now
