After having my TV off for about 30 minutes, I came back to turn it on and the blue CRT was way out of whack. Standard as well as service menu convergence adjusting can't move the blue CRT up and down. Running the auto convergence "Touch Focus" which I never do, came back with a "Touch Focus Error". This is a new thing that I've never seen happen to my set before.
Not sure if it matters, but mine's an old Toshiba 50H81 RPTV from late 2001. What exactly is this that happened? It doesn't seem like the blue got more or less bright. It's just way off all of a sudden (and it's not the component cable or the source).

Here's a picture I've drawn to simulate what it looks like. Notice the upper half of the screen is slightly off, but the bottom/bottom-left is way off with the blue.
Sorry, I usually do a search for answers first, but typing in the words "convergence" or "bad convergence" don't exactly narrow down the results.

So the guy came back, tried to do what he did last time, except with the green this time I assume. It didn't fix it.
