Samsung Plasma 42" TV - 2006

I purchased a samsung plasma 42" TV two years ago. It was working well until recently. After watching TV for an hour the picture turns black. I have to turn it off for 30 minutes or so until I can get the picture back. Has this been a problem with other 42" plasma televisions?

Hi, this is quite a common problem for plasma screens and LCD screens. The fluroscent backlight is more than likely faulty and would need replacing. The best thing to do is to take it to a service centre because there are no user servicable parts inside the plasma.

Samsung Model: HP-R4262 42" Plasma Problem, pink pixelation/ghosting

Onece the plasma heats up it shrinks a little, i think the cause is that you are low on plasma, so when i heats it shrinks and since the plasma cycles, the area low on plasma wil move slowly around the screen, take this to a repairman and more plasma can be added to it.
