The set was working fine and the it just stopped. When I turn it on now I hear two clicking sounds from the back of the set. No picture no sound no response from buttons on front of set or remote control. Any thoughts out there will be great
I had the identical problem (clicking sounds, no picture, but just the sound). I took Richdogg's advice above, but it didn't work out for me (lost money on the purchase of the part) - no offense Richdogg as I'm sure that was the problem in your TV. I later found out that the problem was with the Y-Sustain (also called Y-Main) Board. As with most parts in this TV, this is also made by Samsung and used in Maxent, Magnavox and a number of other 42" TVs. The part number is LJ 92-01256A (using LJ 41-02668A also give you the same part number). Hope others will find this useful.

I had this same problem it turned out to be the secondary power supply. This part is made by Samsung and used in Maxent and Dell systems. The part number is LJ44-00068A. It will range from $89 to $259.99 on Ebay. The Dell pricing is better.

I left the room came back the set was off. No further activity, no clicking nothing
my 42" plasma by maxent was only used for about 2 mos. when it lost the picture. there was a green light on and a clicking sound was heard but the screen was black
boy, seems maxent's are really hard to get fixed, I have called all over to get mine fixed and alot of places wont fix it because parts ar so hard to get, and the customer service for maxent, well they dont answer the phone put you on hold, and dont answer the customer service email that you send. Bought Maxent three years ago, beautiful picture, then just sitting watching TV and picture went black, sound on. Shut off, both came on for a few seconds then black again, sound ok, I am wits end, any help will be appreciated, live in Jersey, good TV repair that will fix them, maxent will be appreciated. thanks.
I am Having the same problem. The green light turns on and stays on, you can hear the sound for 5sec tops, no image at all, and then you hear the relay going off.
We have the same problem on our 42". The green light comes on but no picture.
42" plasma quit working and it shut off. It turned off by itself and now there is no power.
I have a Maxent MX-42HPM20 42" HD Plasma television.
The picture does not work.. but sound DOES. I was watching TV one day, and power went out
and then picture never came back. We were watching TV, then suddenly the power in the room
went out. I went to the basement, the breaker had been tripped, so I reset it. Came back
up, turned on the TV and the light came on, and I could receive sound, but no picture.
That is how it still is currently. Sound works fine, just no picture.
After reading all the posts on FixYa and other websites, I am starting to think I have a
I need to replace my televisions Y-Sustain (also called Y-Main) Board. Does anyone have any information
on this problem or have any input on what I need to do to fix this? I also have come to the conclusion
that once I replace the Y-Sustain (also called Y-Main) Board, I need to add computer fans to
the Y-Sustain and X-Sustain boards to prevent this from happening in the future, is this
also correct? Finally, do I need to replace the X-Sustain at the same time as the Y-Sustain (I heard the
X-Sustain rarely burns out like the Y-Sustain from overheating)?
the problem I have, the picture will turn off and there still is sound. I turn the main switch off and wait for a minute and turn it back on then its fine for about 10-to-20min. then the picture blanks out again and the sound remains.
3 year tv. Sound but no picture.
I had the same issue. Tried changing the first PCB, did not work. Changed the second one, did not work either. Just lost money. DO NOT BUY MAXENT...
