Greetings from Colombia.
Sometime ago, I bought a Samsung TV CL 21k40MQ, chassis K69C.
Recently, the screen looks slightly pincushioned and the image
vibrating near to the corners.
I've searched in Google, and found the comands to go in the service
mode from remote control. (Mute 1 8 2 Power). However, in this menu I
could not find nothing about the pincushion effect. I suppose that
this problem requires to open the TV. My question is, =BFcan I fix this
easily, or I will have to take it to the technical service?
Thanks in advance...

Although idiotically top posted, you made a wise choice by not screaming
about an off topic post and actually offered help by steering the OP to a
more appropriate group.
Bravo.

I highly suspect it's true with newer TVs but with older ones there was
enough power inside waiting to be discharged, even after unplugged, to
throw you through a wall. Sometimes you are alive when you go through the
wall and sometimes already dead.

If you have no experience in repairing a tv then you need to have it
professionally repaired. My guess is if you need help diagnosing a
pincushion problem you probably don't have the resources to repair it
yourself.
