Issue with LG Plasma tv model # DU-42PX12X

I was given a 42 inch plasma tv model # DU-42PX12X and I am sure it is a common problem with this tv but I just wanted to make sure before I replaced the board (6871QCH038A) I have a picture on the right side of the screen but the blacks and the shadows seem choppy and blueish and I have no picture on the left side of the screen. I have random white, blue, red, green, etc lines that run from the top of the screen down to the bottom.

I didnt wanna spend the money on the board without being sure. Thanks

    Same thing with ours -- the left side of the screen has the colored lines while the right side is fine. Let me know if you receive any suggestions -- ours was a hand-me-down so I'm wondering whether it's worth fixing! Thanks!

Another "same probelm"

My set has encountered this magical 50/50 split screen and it seems to be quite a problem since I am not the only one researching this issue. LG was of no use because of course it is just out of warranty. Any solutions on fixing this or am I out of money in buying a new plasma?

Red stripe down the left side about 1 inch thick.

This is a problem with your control board. For some reason, the resistors on this board become "Un-Soldered" I'm not sure how handy you are but this can be fixed. BE SURE TO EITHER DISCHARGE THE CAPACITORS, OR AVOID THEM ALL TOGETHER (Capacitors look like little cans.They have what looks like an "X" or a "+" on the top.) Capacitors can hold a charge for a long period of time. Here is a link on how to fix this issue. I hope this helps you.

PLASMA TVS DONT HAVE INVERTER CIRCUITS. YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A Y-SUSTAIN BOARD FAILURE. IT IS THE BOARD TO THE LEFT LOOKING FROM THE BACK. THE LARGE ALUMINUM HEAT SINK LOCATED ON THE BOARD AND THE PART SCREWED TO IT WILL BE THE DEFECTIVE PART.

HD channels look terrible

You may not have the resolution set to hd even though you are on the channel. Confirm that you are using hd cable and your set is displaying 720p or greater. This will sometimes pop up on the screen when you tune to a hd channel. it sounds like you are on 480 i or p. good luck

Hi,

It seems that some parts are having a problem by warming up the temp.
If you're a technician, try some coldspray on the capacitors of the power supply.

Cheers,

Lost video on LG plasma big screen model DU-42PX12X

LG Plasmas and all plasmas have problems with the sustain boards. You can replace them with just a screw driver to remove back and boards.  Try tritronicsinc.com and andrewselectronics.com and search for Y and Z Sus boards.
They are not cheap and you may want to call a qualified servicer or deal with return cost if they don't work
