Generally speaking, though it may be possible to fix a broken screen, it's not cost effective and you'd be better off replacing the TV.

Deal with this problems before.Sorry,tv some how the plasma screen itself,it is shorted and plasma screen it is dead.This problems ur tv have it is nothing to do with it elctronics boards problems.This tv it not repairable except by replaced the whole plasma screen as u know the screen are 90% important to tv and in limited in production by the tv corporation.Nowhere to buy the screen,but except the tv corporations themselves.By replacing the plasma screen,will cost the same as a new tv.

    Check tv prices outside and markets places and compare prices.Or tries buy another LG plama tv directly by LG corporation and return the tv with the plasma screen defect to the corporatoin,should get 5% or more off.

You can't upgrade a panel tv, plasma or LCD.You may have had a plasma panel failure,I sell LG tv's and for the panel to go bad is rare but I have had it happen approx.6 times in the past 5 years.I highly recommend contacting LG"s customer service they will stand behind the panel and get you going again.Good luck!

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

Lost half of picture

This can be on the matrix drive board, or the display assembly itself. It is possible to also have a defect in the address decoding area that will cause this.

The procedure is to swap out the suspect boards to determine where the fault is, leave the working boards in the set, and then follow up any necessary calibrations that are necessary.

LG PLASMA TV WITH COLOURED LINES OVER SCREEN

If the Video (Picture/Pix) is gone but you can hear the Audio (sound), then it could mean the YSUS PCB Assembly is gone/kaput/finish. Can replace the PCB, not repair the PCB due to timing circuitry involve. Cost maybe roughly $500 depending where you located. The PCB is located on the left hand side of your TV when you are facing the back (Back open). Might find 3-4 brown flex membrane connecting to the plasma panel. The PCB has a silver or black aluminum heatsink (big) on it.
Good Luck.
