Had my Plasma on this morning(52inch LG) .Was about to turn it off and go do some food shopping.When it went black no power nothing .checked the lights etc were still working .Checked the fuse box all still on .
I have called a TV repair guy waiting for him to arrive after 12 .
So fingers crossed its something easy to fix
Damn it never rains but it pours !!!

Obviously not under warranty Micky? ... things are designed to break 5 mins after the warranty period anyway.

50" LG Plasma will cost you under a grand to buy new... Hardly seems worth getting them fixed... Seeing as though they use less and less power, and you'd have a new warranty...
