LG DU-42PX12X Plasma, picture startes flashing then goes black after a few minutes

Have a 42 in LG Plasma tv on my wall.. Couple of days ago the picture started "flashing" brightly, then all of a sudden the pictue screen does dark, I can still hear he sound, and every few minutes the pic comes back for a few seconds then goes dark again. If i shut the tv off, and turn it back on later, the picture looks fine for a few minutes then starts the same thing again, "flash" for a few seconds then dark. Any suggestions what it might be? the tv is only 3 years old, and LG HDTV Plasma. Thanks

    I have a 50 inch zenith plasma tv. It starts flashing sometimes but doesn't go dark. I turn it off when it does this. When I turn it back on, it seems fine but it has started to do this more often. It is only 1 year old.

    Our TV at first got a vertical blue line across the screen on the right hand side of the monitor and in the last few weeks, the flashing and off center picture has been happening. The on and off worked until now

    I have the same problem attempting to get a tip on what part needs replacement? I was told the sustain or control board.

    I have the exact same problem with my 42 inch LG plasma.
    Has anyone got his/her tv fixed? How much did it cost?

    Thanks

Today 12/16/2010 my HDTV 42 in plasma model 42px12x.41. made a "popping" sound in the back of the screen and the screen went black,( yet there is still sound and a couple of green and red light...

PLASMA TVS DONT HAVE INVERTER CIRCUITS. YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A Y-SUSTAIN BOARD FAILURE. IT IS THE BOARD TO THE LEFT LOOKING FROM THE BACK. THE LARGE ALUMINUM HEAT SINK LOCATED ON THE BOARD AND THE PART SCREWED TO IT WILL BE THE DEFECTIVE PART.

Hi,

It seems that some parts are having a problem by warming up the temp.
If you're a technician, try some coldspray on the capacitors of the power supply.

Cheers,

Issue with LG Plasma tv model # DU-42PX12X

Another "same probelm"

My set has encountered this magical 50/50 split screen and it seems to be quite a problem since I am not the only one researching this issue. LG was of no use because of course it is just out of warranty. Any solutions on fixing this or am I out of money in buying a new plasma?

LG DU-42PX12X

Check the controller board, 6871QCH038A. This board is one layer deep into the assembly after the cover is removed. Gently lift the covering circuit board back plane to access.

To do this direct a blast of cold air unto the large chip in the center of the board. If the picture comes back on then you have found it. This means powering the TV while open and this means danger to the novice. Voltage can end your life when you become the circuit path.

Order Part number 6871QCH060Q as the suitable replacement part to this circuit board.
