Hi All,
I've just been given this screen to fix so i don't know how long the problem onset was.
What I have is a partal black screen. If set to analogue i/p (so i can see the snow) all but the left hand side of screen is black. as it warms up (5 to 10 mins) the black receeds until approx a 1/3 of the left is visable picture and a little bit starts to bleed in from the R also.
the transistion between black and snow is not a line ie geometric shape but a sort of zig zag.
My first look showed 9 3300uf 10V caps on main board had blown, so i replaced all of them - that made no difference.
I'm guessing at a dry joint somewhere (was it changes over time) but being as i'm a bit of a noob at plasma's I thought i would see if anyone had any ideas on here. while i'm waiting i'll check the other caps on the main psu board just in case.
(the 4 really large ones were OK when measured (450v 270uf & 250v 820uf))
Cheers all.
RR
Update:

Managed to give it a known i/p. Picture is distorted in colours, a bit 'dim' and splodges of black are sustained longer than they should be. I'm thinking y-sus?
I can attach a picture if it helps
