    In the morning when I trun on my 42" LG Plasma 42PC3D, the unit clicks on and off until I turn the power off at the power bar. I think the problem is getting progressively worse as it takes me more times and longer duration to get the TV on. The unit is now about 2 years old.



    LG Canada have noted that the unit is out of warranty and bumped me to a third party service provider...

Panasonic 42 tcp42x3 plasma tv turns off after 5 minutes solid red ligh no blinking will turn back on if I unplug and plug back in but off in 5 mins again
The fact if unplugged etc and tries to function means a micro related problem---if unplugging all units for a while does not change this then suspect a power supply or main board (controls all functions).

The power capacitors have likely blown. You'll need to either repair under warranty or swap for a new TV.

LG Plasma TV automatic turn off right after turn on
You have some dried out capacitors on the power supply. Samsung has a major issue with this right now and I made a tutorial for that repair in my Tips & Tricks. Your capacitors will not be the same, but identifying them and replacing them will be. Best advise I can give you: Stop using the TV and unplug it until you get it fixed. When these caps go bad, they draw down the voltage they are filtering. I've seen some TVs that had secondary damage because of this. I hope this was of some assistance, best wishes.

You have bad capacitors on the Power Supply PCB. There's probably like 9 of them bad, if memory serves me correctly. I have a tutorial published on a Samsung repair involving capacitors. It's not identical, but the solution is similar. I think in the case of your TV, you'll be looking for 3300uF caps with swollen tops. If after looking over the tutorial you decide this isn't for you, get the TV to a repair shop. I highly recommend you stop watching it and unplug it until you get this fixed. I hope this was of some assistance.

Lg 42'' plasma 720p no picture
This is not good. Was your tv unplugged or just power button off when you left for vacation. PlasmaTvs are highly susceptible to damage from power surges caused by lighting. Leave unplugged for at least five minutes then plug back in and see if this helps.
