My TV does this strobe light effect when ever there is a white scene like snow on the ground or ticker tape news bar. What board or component do I need to replace to fix the problem.

I bought the plasma TV back in 2004, it turns on just fine but it does fade to black once in a while for about 5 seconds then returns. The sound is still audible while this is happening.

You should call for warranty service. If the set is very new try to get it exchanged.

There are some very heavy duty power supplies and many high power matrix drivers used in Plasma sets.

The description sounds like the noises are very loud. It is normal with any of these TV sets, if you put your ear right up to the back of the set at the vent holes you will hear some noises. These would be some acoustic harmonics from the power supplies and related circuits.

I am wondering if it is possible that there is something that is becoming less stable. If the set is working very well without any failure, so-far this is a very good sign. Before it gets to be a problem, I would have this checked.

On many models of these sets, they use fans for cooling specific areas. A bad fan can cause noise.

SOURCE: no screws for the tv to mount to the bracket

You will 4 m5x18mm and 4 m5x25mm machine screws. That should do the trick..

Picture is dark and has strobe effect to it still strobes even on blank blue screen

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.
http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/

To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

Just bought an Anders all in one player. The 33 1/3 speed is slightly slower. Cannot seem to get it to run correctly. any ideas?

If it is a fairly cheap unit there may not be an area where you can adjust the speed of the turn table
on better machines there is a variable rheostat where by you can adjust turntable speed
quality machines will have the edge if the turntable marked with what looks like bars
This is not decoration but when viewed under a light bulb will appear as stationary bars when running at the correct speed or as a blur when at the incorrect speed
It works like this
the bars are in effect a strobe that is affected by the light frequency or power hz so that when the strobe affect is exact the bars appear stationary
( like disco strobe )
so if your player has these bars on the edge , then check the actual speed with a bulb light Remember stopped bars is exact speed
If the turntable doesn't have these bars then most good home entertainment shops will have a paper plate that can be put on the turn table and the effect will be the same
other than that talk with a good radio repairer shop and have the variable control installed in the power circuit for the turntable motor .

I TURN MY TV ON AND IT HAS A STROBE LIGHT EFFECT TO IT. THE PICTURE WORKS GREAT ITS JUST HARD TO WATCH IT OR PLAY A GAME ON IT WITH THE STROBE LIGHT EFFECT

I've fixed several of these, easy fix, you will need to replace both 470uf 35 volt capacitors on the master and slave inverter boards. So you will have to replace a total of 4 capacitors. The capacitors themselves are about 50 cents a piece. The inverter boards are on the far left and far right of the set. You will have to remove the back cover to see them. If you don't have the ability to replace the capacitors, you can just order new inverter boards for $40-$60.

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO TO ME WHAT IS EV COMPENSATION AND HOW DOES IT WORK

EV compensation is "Exposure Value compensation". The camera contains an exposure meter which determines how much light is on the scene and sets the exposure appropriately. However, this meter does not know WHAT you're taking a picture of, nor does it know what effect you're going for. The best it can do is to assume you're taking a picture of an "average" scene and want it to be of "average" brightness. It does this by assuming the scene is "middle gray," halfway between black and white. Most of the time this works fine, because most scenes are, well, average.
However, this is not always the case. Suppose you're taking a picture of a white dog playing in the snow. Almost everything in the scene is bright white, but the camera doesn't know that. It tries to make the scene middle gray, and the result is that you get a gray dog playing in gray snow.
On the other hand, suppose you're taking a picture of a black cat sleeping on the hood of a black car. Here everything is black, but the camera doesn't know it. It tries to make an average scene, resulting in a gray cat sleeping on a gray car.
EV compensation allows you to override the camera's exposure setting. In the first example, you'd want to add two or three stops (positive EV compensation) to force the camera to render the dog and snow as white instead of gray. In the second example, you'd want to subtract a stop or two (negative EV compensation) to render the cat black instead of gray.
How much EV compensation is correct? Well, that depends on the scene. With a digital camera, you can look at the picture and see whether the dog looks white or the cat looks black. Film photographers take lots of shot, using various levels of EV compensation, so that one of them would come out right.

Colored "snow" vertical line an inch thick on Samsung plasma

That is the sustain and buffer boards. Try to find a repair shop to repair on the component/board level because the cost of new boards out weighs the replacement cost.

FLICKERING BACK LIGHT

Sounds like you have an LCD tv with backlight problems. Check power board for domed capacitors and replace them. next check connections on the inverter boards. they are on the sides or just one side. Becareful there is high voltage output from these boards. If the cable from inverter board is not good to the screen you can get a strobing. the inverter boards may need replaced. or cales to screen may be bad. The panel also could be bad.

Thers 4 wires to connect 1 red 1 black 1 white and

Well, if there are no color lights on this strobe effect, a fairly standard color code for AC is Black is HOT White is Neutral, no insulation is ground and Red would power your strobe ( I Think )., I would hate to misinform you. Is this an AC powered strobe? Like when you wire up a ceiling fan you have the same color code. I'm sorry I can't help you further, and messing with live AC can be unsettling.
