This plasma is only 3 years old, we heard a loud pop/cracking noise the picture was immediately black however we still have audio. You can still manually change the components (DVD, TV, Xbox) because you can still hear the sound. The menu is not even showing up when you do this manually.
Plasma tv's don't last long....buy a led tv.

likely blew a cap or diode in the power supply ,
if you stay out of it then it will cost less to service,
techs hate to work on a mess of someone else's

The screen unit is not repairable. You would need a new replacement screen unit. The cost would be greater than buying a new TV set!

Needs either a Y-Sustain or a Z-Sustain.
Whichever has the blown fuse inside.

I purchased a 50 inch Plasma Samsung TV last June 2009. The plasma screen cracked as well in December 2009. No evidence of physical damage. Samsung first said it was normal wear and tear. So we argued that it was still under warranty. I had the TV less than 5 months. As well they refused to send a technician to look at it because I am from a small town, but they do sell the TV's here. So we sent in pictures as per request of Samsung customer service. Then then changed their story and said it was physical damage. To top it off, the customer service rep refused to even talk to us anymore to try and explain their decision.
So after a month of fighting and getting nowhere, we went to the business where we bought the TV. They told us they would fight Samsung over this issue. After a week they told us the same thing. So now I was supposed to just accept the fact my TV was broken and walk away, however, the fight was not over. My girlfriend messaged the head office of the company from which we bought the TV, and they said they would try and work with samsung to resolved the issue. Two months of waiting to find that Samsung refuses to answer them as well. So we made arrangements to have the TV driven to closest city 3 hours away, where it was taken t an approved Samsung repair center. Their technician says it wasn't our fault and forwards the paperwork to Samsung. STILL Samsung refuses to replace our TV. They say they are going to still go by the pictures, instead of listening to the repair center. We immediately launched a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I advise everyone else to do the same. Get the word out how crooked Samsung really is to everybody.
I started a facebook page to promote this fact. "Samsung is screwing me Around". Please join and tell your story. Invite anyone you know that may be fighting with Samsung as well.

I have the same problem that just happened on Monday with my LG 50PX as well. Have you had any luck getting it fixed. A repair man told me it might be the Z board but there are 4 boards on the TV and he said usually when one goes bad, they all do :(. Cost of the parts are around $1,000.
