42" LG Plasma Black Screen

I turned it on and it was all black. Then it bleeds away into a grey screen. Sound still works fine.

    I have the same problem. Menu and clock still show clearly, but no picture. I've been reading about similar problems with other plasma TVs and the problem has been the power supply. Has anyone else heard anything?

Yes, I had the same problem, it happened after 14 months of my purchase, or just 2 months after expiry date of warranty. But remember they have 60,000 hours warranty on screen and this fault is part of screen (no picture J it is screen problem), I called LG, first they did not accept the claim but soon after I mentioned that I have done many research and this is very common problem due to use of faulty part or unreliable design, and if they don't fix it on their cost I will take legal action, one of the supervisor contacted me and after saying LALALALALALALALALALA accepted to send someone to fix with no cost. But I have found out they did to many others whom take this mater serious so it was not just me alone J They are aware of using faulty part is some ranges of their products and now this common problem appears, LG don’t like it and wants to somehow get away. ((((((((((So don’t let it happen))))))))) some of us paid around $5000 to $7000 when this TV came out, recently price went down to around $2000. CALL THEM and ask FIX or COURT? For sure they fix it for you free of charge J Imagine how much would it cost them to recall all TVs which they know is faulty?
Enjoy

42 inch LG Plasma TV - Lost picture

Our LG 50" plasma tv screen went black after a popping noise but still had sound, after great diliberations decided to take the back off and have a peek!
We unplugged the tv and tested the fuses (there were three we could see) one had blown, the one on the left as you look at the back of the tv it also has one above it. We wrote the code/seriel number down and took the fuse to the electrical wholesalers Maplin and bought a pack of 10 fuses for £1.29 replaced the fuse in the tv and everything now fine!!!!!!
Hope this might be of use to anyone whose lost the picture after a loud popping/snacking noise but still has sound.
