Mine did the exact same thing... popping noise, then no picture, but still have audio. Mine was still under warranty and the repairman came and replaced the "motherboard" as he called it. Don't know how much this would cost as mine was covered.

The first thing you need to do is check for any large capacitors that may have blown on the Main Printed Circuit Board as well as the Power supply Circuit Board. That large POP you would have heard would have been one of the before mentined capacitors becoming faulty and blowing. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

Samsung plasma screen went black. Was watching tv, heard a loud pop and the screen will no longer turn on. You can hear the tv turn on but no picture. Power is still working, just a blank screen.

Issue is either with the X or Y sustain board. Look for a cap that has blown or a cracked solid state device on the board. One of them is responsible for the ***** croak you heard.

I was watching my Toshiba 56mx195 DLP tv and heard a popping noise and the screen went blank but the sound was still on, is it the lamp or something worse?

You are correct in this assumption it is more than likely the lamp that blew after too many hours or getting to hot.

Screen blank

Sounds like a cap or fuse has blown in the set, you will need to take the back cover of and have a look, check on the power board for any blown caps, you will notice them straight away if one has poped, also check any fuses that may have blown they will also need to be replaced.

Unfortunately, that board is the inverter board. And for this model the inverter board is only supplied with the the PDP panel. The panel is quite expensive, here's a link if needed:
