If those bars are vertical are going up and down and not horizontal that means the lower circuit board that connect to the plasma panel are bad most likely this is an LG TV but this is not something that can be fixed you can take it apart while at least an hour after it's unplugged before you can touch ID cards along the long circuit board see if there's any connection connection connection that you can disconnect and reconnect and very carefully clean up possibly this could be the problem but usually when you have that type of line which is a vertical line you have a bad panel and that's not good and I'm betting this is an LG TV

Testimonial: "Thanks for the response. It is an HP PL4260N Plasma TV. Purchased back 2007. Trying to decide if worth purchasing repair boards or simply scrap unit."

SOURCE: Glare - HP Plasma TV Model PL4260N

Requires taking the back off: There is a module about 1 and a half inches square with 4 controls on it (looks like a small phillips screwdriver will fit.) Sits vertically. A yellow one on the lower left side. Tweek or turn it just a little about 2% and watch the picture and seen if the problem goes away. First unplug the tv before taking the back off and when back is off position the tv and yourself to turn the control and turn the tv on. You will need someone to turn tv on for you. Then do the tweeking with someone watching the picture for you

SOURCE: Black screen on HP PL4260N 42? Plasma HDTV

The problem is the "Y-SUS" board. It is inside the set on the left side with several aluminum heat sinks, under the left side brace bar. You can order this board from Union Electronics at www.ued.com .Search for part number: TNPA3243AB-PA

It lists for about 115$

SOURCE: where can i obtain a lamp for the hp plasma tv

Sorry, your plasma does not take a lamp.

"Plasma flat screen technology consists of hundreds of thousands of individual pixel cells, which allow electric pulses (stemming from electrodes) to excite rare natural gases-usually xenon and neon-causing them to glow and produce light. This light illuminates the proper balance of red, green, or blue phosphors contained in each cell to display the proper color sequence from the light. Each pixel cell is essentially an individual microscopic florescent light bulb, receiving instruction from software contained on the rear electrostatic silicon board. Look very closely at a plasma TV and you can actually see the individual pixel cell coloration of red, green, and blue bars. You can also see the black ribs which separate each."

I am getting a black screen and the sound works the color has been going in and out white but color still worked but it just went black so i contacted hp help and they say it should be a board part is...

You most certainly do not want to disassemble the tv. HP has made a valid diagnosis, you would be best off taking the replacement board and tv to a repair shop and have them change it for you. Yeah, it may cost a little, but Plasma TVs have very fragile displays- very easily broken.

HP PL4260N source list entries are all "Cable"

Video board is most likely damaged from a electrical spike, you may try looking at the capacitors on the boards inside the tv and see if they are damaged capacitors are an easy solution to problems some of the time.
