Samsung S4253- No Image, Only Multicolored Pixels; Sound OK

On a 2-yr old Samsung HP-S4253 42" plasma, the screen is completely filling with small multicolored pixels and no image, whether from cable box, dvd, or just on without other source. Can you give me some potential causes and approx $ before I have a $150 pickup and diagnostic repair call? I have unplugged and re-plugged to see if there is a re-set but no help.
Thanks.

    i am having the same problem. When i turn the tv on now there are many pinkish fuzz colored pixels dominating the screen. Sometimes if I shut it off and turn it back on it will clear up but then comes back within 15 minutes. Also, there is no image. Really sucks!!!

The pink fuzzies come from a faulty Ymain. If you are looking at the set with the back off, its the largest board on the left side. Get the part number from the board and replace that one first. You may have to check the buffers or the logic board if this doesn't solve the problem but 9 times out of 10 when the picture is firing random pixels, its due to an overload in the Ymain (also called the YSUS).

    the board itself should cost you less than $150, get it off ebay or at shopjimmy.com

I had the same problem. Luckilly I had an extended warranty. Repair tech said it blew three main boards inside and to fix it out of pocket would have been more than the screen was worth. Hope this helps.

Picture goes out in less than a minute but sound keeps going

Typical problem in some video/audio board. However, if this only occurs on a particular video input ie: dvd or vcr, it may just be your wire connection.

42'' Samsung Plasma Tv Screen went black but the sound works.

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://electronicshelponline.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.
