I turn on my TV and after it has been on for about half an hour I get shadows of different colours. Especially on the right hand side. Plus i do have satalite and in it at times I see the guide to different stations. This doesn't do it on all chanels but the best of them. Please help me. Plus I need to down load the manual to my TV, because I have misplaced it. I purchased it on April 10,2007.

Re: Akai 42 in. Plasma
Shadows on plasma TV are often related to the power board that supply plasma screen volatages. When the board is giving wrong power on the vertical refresh you get shadows.
Similar phoenomena are also caused by bad connectors, and in less frequent occasions , because of a defective plasma screen.
If you want to do it yourself get the service manual first.
If you decide to call a repairman, or you need to validate the guarantee, call the number listed on the owner manual.

Try unplugging it for an hour or so or try change sources , if the
computer ever fell asleep while it was plugged in it is possible it
triggered a sleep mode in the tv. Most will do such a thing. It is
doubtful that the computer caused any damage to it but i would advise
against using a plasma tv as a computer monitor because burn in WILL
eventually occur with a static image left on the screen constantly.
Thanks for the photos, it looks like an internal adjustment is required to the ramp generator which controls the sequence for the screen to refresh itself from a previous image to a new image. This is a precise setting & also a software update may be necessary to cure the problem. These settings are on the Y-Sutain board & need to be accurate.If this procedure does not cure the problem then the screen will need replacing. As it will out of warranty, it would be best to contact a local repair centre & ask for an estimate to try & set these adjustments for you.
Hello Lunhoo, Your TV should still be in warranty. If so, yes you should take it in for repair. Even if it's not in Warranty, Akai may have a special warranty extension for your TV. Check it out. Good luck.
If the Video (Picture/Pix) is gone but you can hear the Audio (sound), then it could mean the YSUS PCB Assembly is gone/kaput/finish. Can replace the PCB, not repair the PCB due to timing circuitry involve. Cost maybe roughly $500 depending where you located. The PCB is located on the left hand side of your TV when you are facing the back (Back open). Might find 3-4 brown flex membrane connecting to the plasma panel. The PCB has a silver or black aluminum heatsink (big) on it. Good Luck.
