Manual Hi, I also have a 42ep24s plasma television from Haier with no image since last week. An electronic shop told me than it will cost 842$ to fix it by replacing 3 boards. I can't affoard this cost and I want to try to fix it myself with the manual by finding what's wrong on the boards. Thanx. [email protected]

I would say you dont need to repalce Servcie kit.kit is only for 42EP24S units.
examine your unit What is the problem?Is the blue indicator on?If indicator on you will have audio.
In this case I would check first Y-sus board or Z-sus board.

Good luck

Manuals on the way via email. Good luck!

Had the same problem. Purchased Haier 42" model 42EP24S from Sears and it broke in 1 1/2 years. Couldn't find anyone to fix it so I ordered part Service Kit: TV-3940-01 from www.searspartsdirect.com the cost was $150.00. If your warranty is up and you're okay with doing your own work. :-)

Replaced 3 boards (instruction included) and my tv is back in action.

Gastech, trash the TV...Trust me. It's not worth it. Sears fixed mine too, and it never worked. Sears and Haier are keenly aware that they have a rotten product, and are not willing to support it. Your best bet is to not dump anymore money into the TV and buy either a Vizio, Sony, Samsung, etc...It's worth it. Do yourself a favor and don't buy from Sears or Haier again...Tell your friends, too.

My experience with a Haier Plasma 42EP24S is that they have weak software chip that goes bad and can cause a number of symptoms from picture with no sound, will not recognize video inputs, or my current problem tv turns on and off irratically.  This is the second time i have replace this chip, which is the socketed chip on the vga/component/dvi input circuit card.  Last time i had this problem i ended up fixing it myself because sears took over 3 weeks and still could not figure out the problem.  I am working on obtaining this chip, probally get about a dozen so if anyone thinks this may fix there problem as well i my have some for sale.  [email protected] of Malobicky Digital Systems.

You need the upgrade kit - make Sears come out and order it for you - they know all about it, claim that the monitor should have been recalled. Mine was out of warranty, however I convinced them to fix the TV.
