Samsung PN42A450 Plasma TV Won't turn on....

To get the set to power on takes several tries. Almost as though there is a short in the switch or needs to warm up. Once it is on all is fine. Turns off just fine too.

You have problem with the screen board this is located on the top and corner of your screen. The slight solution to do this is try resetting the connector on the main board and the screen board and the screen. it might works or not. Or re-soldered the part on the screen. If the symptoms look for service personnel to do it for you.
