42" hp plasma made a popping sound & went out

SOURCE: heard a loud "pop" and

The loud pop and the picture going out is usually due to either failed buffer boards or sustain boards. The first thing to do would be to examine the sustain boards for any visually identifiable damage.Have a look at the boards titled X-main and Y-main and see if you can notice any charring or anything of that sort, especially near the fuses. If nothing then let me know and I will give you instructions for testing the pico fuses.

your y- sus board is out. you can find them on ebay for 68.00

SOURCE: I have no picture on my HP 42 in plasma tv. Sound

Likely x and y suatain boards are bad.
