Power no video, is an indication of a bad panel. It usually requires changing the power board, and the panel. this supplies all boards to receive the proper voltage to correspond with each other to make the TV work again including the LCD panel. also the revision code and firmware needs to be current, to prevent future programming failures.

I have a dell 50' plasma tv when turned on does nothing. no audio or screen display. dell tells me $1500 for shipping or s.o.l. they know there is a problem but hope custs dont complain. help

If the TV is under warranty, give them hell. Shouldn't pay more than the TV is worth for shipping, any less a dime.
If not under warranty, best to have a TV tech to come to your home to diagnose the problem. Depending on where you live, independent TV repair shop will charge about $100 for the diagnoses service. Common things that go bad for plasma TVs is the Power Supply Board or the Y buffer/main parts. Basically, cheaper to have someone come to you.

It Turns on and I have audio and functionality, but no screen activity. The screen just stopped working. I have sound and I am able to turn on and off.

Most likely it is your y-board. I was able to order it from Coretronic in Taiwan. Email
[email protected] . I had to wire 263.20 for the part and had it delivered in about a week. My TV repair shop installed and now the TV is working great.

on all the other components, are u able to get sound?

If no, = bad audio amp

Dell W5001C 50 in plasma - vertical black line

the y-boards are not the problem. its the e or f board located on the bottom of the panel open the back cover and look at both for potential burn spots around the silicon sealant. if one or r brown, theres your problem. ebay the board number and get it fixed.
