i think your bulb is shot must be replaced

Two causes for this failure.
1. The Y SCAN board or YSUS board failure. Your can replace the failed boards with reasonable price.
2. The PDP Panel failure. Very expensive to fix this failure.

Good Luck!

If you notice these dots when you use Video or HDMI inputs, then you need to do something to get rid of them.

Open the back cover, try to reduce the Vs voltage 5-10V below its spec value. Vs is from Power Supply Board and its spec value was printed on the back of PDP panel. If your tv is under warranty, just drop it to the warranty depot shop.

first i would try unplugging it for about 5 minutes to reset the set. after that i would need more detail as to the problem is there sparkles in the screen is it a certain portion of the set any info you can give

The PDP (plasma) panel has gone bad and need to be replaced. This is not a user serviceable part and cost about 1/3 of buying a new unit plus the cost of labor for a two-man job. I would hope that this unit was purchased less than 1 year as warranty for parts and labor is 1 year. If not I do hope you purchased an extended warranty or paid it with a MasterCard (some MC card provider extends the warranty by another year). Cost of repair for flat screen TVs are high so it really a wise investment to purchase extended warranty. Fixya offers extended warranty on your future electronics purchase. Hope this helps.

yes it can be down to signal degradation especially via scart lead, make sure you use a decent scart if you buy an expensive one you can tell the difference. Run a cable from your sky digibox direct to your tv to see if the picture improves.

This is a problem with alot of TV sets. Most of the time, women can hear this alot better then men because they have better hearing then men. There is what we call in the buisness, a "singing coil". The problem could be simply the coil is singing and will need to be replaced because the windings of wire that makes up the coil is not wrapped tight enough or this noise could be the sign of future problems to come as a bad switching power supply capacitor or a capacitor going bad. I am sorry to say there is not alot an end user can do except call out a tech to have a look. Good Luck

This is the Power Board for it. check those 6 electrolytic Capacitors on the right for bulging or splitting. Don't buy it blindly, it's a guess.

Maybe the disk is not compatible with the DVD player version

It can't be done. The DVD remote will be single frequency for that device only and the LG remote for that LG Blu Ray (or series) only. Companies don't make cross-control between makers easy. The only exception is cable and satellite boxes to allow their remote to also control the television.

You can't, the LG DVD Remote is single frequency. If you are lucky, the LG Television Remote, might control an LG DVD. If you have lost a remote, have a read of this https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

If you would like to share any clues, yes. Checked power going in, I presume. Any indicator lights? If yes, how many times does it flash?
