One day I turned the TV on and there was no picture. You can hear the TV but there isn't a picture. I've tried the differnet inputs but still no pic. When you first turn it on there is a faint glow then nothing else happens. I've tried turn on and off the tv numerous times and a couple of times for a few seconds there was a white screen with multi-colored lines running verticle then it went black.

- Thanks for your respose. The tv has never been moved since it was bought. I mounted it on the wall an it has been there ever since.
I recently fixed my Hitachi 42edt41a plasma tv. I had sound but no picture originally, but I replaced the y-sustain and the z-sustain boards and it works just fine now. Hopefully I can narrow it down to what components went bad, but my guess is the transformers or capacitors.
Then it is probably not cold solder joints. You wouldn't think that an lcd TV would need a high voltage transformer but it does. They are very small compared to CRT televisions but they power up the screen. Without it you have no backround light to veiw what is there. There are two neon lamps on either side of the screen but they rarley go bad. My guess is the transformer ot the power supply feeding it.

I have a Hitachi 42' Plasma 42EDT41. I have a dvr cable box, and a Samsung Home Theater complete with Blue Ray player, reciver, and streaming wireless capabilities. It's a HT-BD3252. Cant get it to work together. The tv has no HDMI. I am trying an HDMI cable from the DVR cable box to the HDMI1 input on the Bue Ray. Then i have component out from the Blue Ray to AV1 input on the tv. The Blue Ray picture and sound are there, but no cable when i change modes. Do I need to go HDMI out from Blue Ray to DVI on tv..? Thanks.
