Hi, first of all cool site.

Now to the brass tacks....

I have a Samsung 42" rear projection tv, and the other day my son decided to kick it and now the picture is there and Blue and Green are in the right spots, but the Red is about an inch to the right showing a red halo about an inch from the actual picture.

Ive taken off the front and nothing seems busted, the screen laminate is still together.

the Auto Focus is currently off line due to the fact that the clips that hold one of the sensors on the top of the screen (inside facing toward the tubes) is not holding the sensor so the auto focus is not working. (anyone know of where I can get the clips?)

is there a manual adjustment beyond what the auto focus can do?

All of the colors look availible just the red is out of sync with the other 2.

Any ideas would be helpful.
Oh and the model number is hcn4727w

Hello coloradocajun72.
The first thing I want to point out is that your TV is a CRT Projection TV. Its has 3 lamps on the light engine ( blue, green & red). There is a possibility that the filament on the red bulb might have been damage do to the kick you son gave it. If your luck its just out of place, or a cable might have been moved.
You’ll need to open up your TV in order to verify.
Good luck.
