Plasma tv makes loud static noise screen goes blank and shuts off

SOURCE: Monitor goes black - green light stays on

My screen is black, why do I not have a picture?
Answer Antenna is not hooked up to television.

• Make sure that the antenna cable is correctly connected to the television. If it doesn't work there appears to be no signal.

1. Push 'INFO' button.
2. If the screen shows channel number (1, 2, 3, etc) try another channel. Not all channels broadcast at all times.
3. You may have a signal problem. Contact cable provider or local broadcaster regarding the specific channel.

1. Push NEXT SOURCE button on the remote.
2. On the screen appears all sorces.
3. Press the UP button to switch to the TV mode.

• Make sure the cable is well connected .
• To check which connection is selected, Press the i+ button on the remote control.

1. When you see Blue mute / blank screen and the i+ display does not indicate any video resolution indication then there is no valid signal detected.
   • Make sure the HDMI output of the accessory is valid by changing the video output resolution to a resolution which the TV can handle.
2. When you see a blank screen and the i+ display shows a video resolution indication then the connection is correct.
   • The blank screen is caused by the accessory device and not by the TV.
   • To detect and remedy the problem caused by the accessory device, check the instruction manual of this device.
3. If the problem remains : reselect the HDMI external source input by changing to the other HDMI input and back to the connected HDMI :
   1. Press AV on the remote
   2. Press up and then ok
   3. Press AV again
   4. Press down and ok
   5. The compatibility check process between TV and accessory device will start over again.
4. Reset (switch off and back on) the TV and also reset the accessory device.

It sounds like the entire screen goes blank with your problem. My problem is the lower half of the screen goes blank. Do you think the SSB is also the problem? What are your thoughts about the "Video Board" or the X Board?

Do you know where to purchase parts?

After you remove the back cover inspect the power supply board for swollen or bulging capacitors. Pull and check any capacitors that you suspect to be swollen. Next, look for a sticker in the upper right hand side of the TV set. Use the values you find on the sticker to calibrate the voltages on the power supply board.

it sounds like you could have a signal board problem they are pretty expensive but there is a web site that sells refurbed parts
