Plasma issues-pls help

[ving9130]

Hello,

My Jvc plasma 3+ yrs old w/8300 hrs started showing neon green snow around the edge of the picture, then it got worse, now it's dead. When I try and turn it on it flashes a powerful electrical pulse with pure white screen for a split second and then stops. It continues to do this every five seconds (almost like it's attempting to power up) until I shut the main power to it off. Any repairmen or specialists out there that have heard of this??

I'm desperate.



Oh yea, model # is JVC GM-V42UG. Not sure where to find the chassis #.

Thanks a lot.

Sounds like the Samsung sets. You get red or blue 'sparckels' Sounds like a bad panel.
