y-sus and possibly buffer boards

plasma tvs and video game consoles are a big no-no. Plasma tvs like to suffer from "burn-out" or their is a problm with the 360 and it's getting ready to red-ring, try it on a different TV.

i have got the same problem with my LG 42PC1D might work for a few days or a few hours no solution as yet

Connect speakers to amp
connect bluray player etc via HDMI in
Then single HDMI (labelled HDMI out) to the tv. The LG will automatically switch to the correct input

Hello Depending how wide the line is their could be two possible causes.
I have two questions for you.
1. How wide is the line.
2. Does it run from top of screen to bottom of screen?
If the line is thin a single strait line then it is possible the PDP has gone Bad (Panel). (Screen). The screen will to be replaced.
If the line is at least 2 or more inches wide then its a buffer board which can be replaced. LG calls this board Hand insert Boards or display driver boards..

I have a 42" LG LCD TV and just experienced this today. Watching cable, then the screen went to black, but audio continued. I pressed the guide button on my remote and pic came on with my guide menu. But then went to black again 10sec later and has remained that way for nearly an hour. Tried switching off both cable box and TV, disconnecting and reconnecting cables, but no luck. Finally unplugged mains, waited a minute, then turned back on. Everything seems normal now after the reboot. Phew.

take off back panel and adjust the V12(A) adjuster wheel on the power board it adjust the gas flow to the screen is should light up your screen
