Hi there! According to the Model Number supplied, this is a 42" Plasma. This problem would normally be caused by the bottom Y-Drive board. However it may also be one of the connector plugs which was not plugged in properly in the factory. Check where the Y-Sus Board is located. There are 2 Y-Drive boards connected to the Y-Sus Board. Top and Bottom. The Bottom one may be at fault. Be careful when removing any flexible ribbon cables as these can easily tear. Also unplug from mains before removing the cover. If the panel is 4 months old it should still be under warranty. Make notes before dissassembly. Best Wishes and Good luck, Jus004.

Black stripe threw screan

Contact the supplier you bought it from, there will be a fault with the screen & it will still be under a manufacturers warranty as it's only 3 months old. This fault will be either an internal fault in the screen or the flat connector cable from the screen.

I have a LG Plasma Flat screen TV. I purchased it

With seeing the picture it will be hard fro me to tell what..I am going to guess according to the information you've provided.
It could a buffer or a signal board(s). This TV is only 4 Months old I would call LG and file a warranty claim. LG (800) 243-0000

Best of luck

Thin horizontal line,about 6 inches from bottom,is it fixable?

I am assuming it goes all the way across and is black ?
It sounds like a scan line in one of the chips inside has gone bad or needs to be resoldered. Most likely needs the board replaced by a tech.
Hope this helps
