I went back into the Service Menu and adjusted the Drive Adjustments. I turned the blue down, and adjusted the Green and Red as well. I do not seem to have as much blue flare in the picture. It doesn't even seem visible from a distance now. It may have dimmed my picture some and the white isn't as pure by increasing the green and lessening the blue. However, I feel it's better than the blue flare. I will post a picture in my Album of a screen shot now.

One odd artifact of eeprom corruption in this chassis series is that sometimes the parameters get pushed way beyond their programmed range.

That seems to not make sense but go back into the service menu and lower the blue bias to it's lowest point. Ordinarily, it will go to value zero and stop. If it does, it's acting normally.

Under certain conditions, you may find it runs past zero and starts again from the top and runs back down. If this happens, keep pushing the down button until it reaches zero and stops - it may take two or more times. Do the same for the other colors and other features like contrast preset etc. Once each parameter reaches zero and stays there, it will be fine - it can no longer run past 255 or whatever the top number is. Don't touch the horiz osc adjustment because if that goes back to the top value, the HV shutdown will activate (there's a way to recover that, but it's a pain in the butt).
