Hi Ryan and Jagath,

What has happened is that you slightly magnetized metal parts of the TV
with the speaker magnet. I have had some luck in fixing the problem by
CAREFULLY (I mean don't put it right next to the TV right away,experiment
with the distance) taking a small magnet which you can hold in your hand
and moving it in circles around the TV. Try moving it in clockwise and
counter-CW directions and varying the orientation of the circles and their
distance from the TV.

The RIGHT way to fix this is with a Degaussing Coil,which is just a big
coil which can be plugged into the AC (120V) supply and placed near parts
of the TV. I doubt you have one of these,though.

Try the magnet and see what happens,

Sean
