I bought this from a friend recently as a project to fix and possibly sell on, the tv can be seen here
http://emket.en.ecplaza.net/3.asp

His descriptions of the fault as it occured taken from my e-mail:

This plasma currently does not turn on, just the RED LED light comes on when you plug it in.

Ok, the screen initially had a fault which seemed to create a bar code distortion in the picture running horizontally in three places. Two at the top and one at the bottom. Between 1 and 2 centimetres in height. I managed to solve this problem/interfearnace by adjusting the box at the back of the plasma that houses all of the plasmas connections.

This fault happened again so I ended up removing the rectangle box at the back of the plasma that held the connectors, this allowed them to hang free from any shorts that were happening. I found this to be fine as I never look at the back of the plasma and did not mind what state the connectors were in as long as they were safe.

This solved the problem for some time until a separate fault has killed the plasma altogether. First I got vertical lines every 2 cm along the screen and then a few days later it refused to turn on. The LCD still lights but nothing more.

I have had the back off the plasma and decided it was far to complex for me so abandoned it there


Any help would be much apprectiated as i cannot find any circuit diagrams, or any thing on the internet about this tv except the link above.
