You will need a new plasma screen. Very very costly! This set may be totaled!

Plasma buzzes

If the screen is cracked, the set is no longer any good.
Since a screen replacement is usually as much as a new TV, you might as well use your money for a new TV.

The screen is cracked. both inner and outer ,maybe just the inner. It also makes a buzzing sound when turned on.this could be from the screen? I would like to no the price to fix the screen.

unfortunately there is no price to repair the issue you have. broken display on a plasma pretty much means the end of the tv. to take on that repair would generally exceed the value of the tv, plus when a plasma cracks like that there is always more internal damage to the panel itself. you're better off parting out the boards indivdually for money as they are most likely fully functional.

Black screen

You have a cracked panel and the gasses inside have escaped. The buzzing noize you are hearing the the current flowing throught the panel. It will be cheaper buying a new TV than buying a replacement panel. But if u wanna check out the price look up your model on parts.com

No picture and only buzzing sound coming from plasma with cracked screen

sounds like you may have a high voltage arc and / or leak . better to let a manufacturers qualified technician have a look at it this time . ask for an estimate after diagnosis and before repairs are made. factor age plus repair cost v/s a replacement tv . also in the area where i live most in shop repair estimates are cheap or even free . field repair estimates are definitely not . all tv parts can be replaced but, screen replacements can get expensive . barring neglect , abuse or a significant power surge you should not be having these problems on a tv so new. double check your warranty. most electronics come with 1 year on parts ,90 days on service. some warranty limitations are not allowed in certain states. also contact the manufacturer . in my expierence some of the better companies have honored an expired warranty partlialy and sometimes even fully on a relatively new product . after all they do have reputation to lose or keep . just be courteous and if your lucky they will be too. but if all else fails, i personaly prefer lcd flatscreen . oh , about the screen crack , clean and position your tv according to the owners manual . some of todays televison components are even more thermaly and chemicaly sensitive than ever . ie; window cleaner can whiten or even crack certain types plastics. finaly if you are not using a good surge protector now may be the time.
good luck
