Recently my samsung plasma 4243 tv screen started going black w/sound. When I turn it off for a couple of minutes it would come back on fine andgo for an hour or more. Now it stays on for 20 mins and goes black, it needs to stay off longer to come back on with a picture. Also now when it goes balck it has vertical color stripes flash right before it shuts off. Of course it is 2 months out of warranty so samsung says it is not thier problem and will not even work with me on the problem. There is only one samsung approved repair service near me which opens up the possibility of price gouging. I am going to get the service manual but if anyone has any ideas or info or knows of a qualified repair place in CT then please respond.
Hi,
Did you ever figure out what the problem was with the TV. I have the same issue I am trying to fix on the cheap and need all the leads possible.
thanks
