sounds like you may have a high voltage arc and / or leak . better to let a manufacturers qualified technician have a look at it this time . ask for an estimate after diagnosis and before repairs are made. factor age plus repair cost v/s a replacement tv . also in the area where i live most in shop repair estimates are cheap or even free . field repair estimates are definitely not . all tv parts can be replaced but, screen replacements can get expensive . barring neglect , abuse or a significant power surge you should not be having these problems on a tv so new. double check your warranty. most electronics come with 1 year on parts ,90 days on service. some warranty limitations are not allowed in certain states. also contact the manufacturer . in my expierence some of the better companies have honored an expired warranty partlialy and sometimes even fully on a relatively new product . after all they do have reputation to lose or keep . just be courteous and if your lucky they will be too. but if all else fails, i personaly prefer lcd flatscreen . oh , about the screen crack , clean and position your tv according to the owners manual . some of todays televison components are even more thermaly and chemicaly sensitive than ever . ie; window cleaner can whiten or even crack certain types plastics. finaly if you are not using a good surge protector now may be the time.
good luck

Sounds like a stressed area gave way.
Plasmas are high vacuum tubes with a lot of unsupported surface so your problem may not be uncommon.
Can’t promise you satisfaction in your unenviable situationbut you are not alone in your consternation with Samsung:
Samsung victims

Get the tech supplier to tell to the manufacture and the store what he told you.
Physical damage on any electronic device is very hard to have serviced under warranty. I have never seen a plasma display crack on its own. But, anything can happen.
I once saw a man drop a newly bought plasma TV in a parking lot outside from where he bought it and the screen broke. He never even made it home from the store!
Maybe you should contact a lawyer or someone who can give you legal advice about how to proceed with this. In different countries and different states the consumer protection laws are different.

Lcd and PlasmaPanels typically run from $900.00 to $1500.00 retail. If you have a trained samsung tech replace the Panel, you are looking at or near the cost of a new tv all said and done.

I have a customer with a Samsung HP-S5053 in which the power supply has blown, and may have caused system wide component failures.
Rather than potentially spending a great deal of money trying to get his TV back to life, I'm certain he would be interested in either...
A: buying your TV for the good electronics
or
B: selling you his TV with a good screen.
Please let me know if you're interested in this type of deal.
