Panasonic Plasma has weird red/green sparkles

[taiwwa]

A few months ago there was an electrical storm and the main board was fried. I replaced it.

Have tried 3 different power supplies. All exhibit same problem. Power supply is not the problem.

What is?

Does it appear on all sources? I've had this problem before and it was caused by a loose HDMI/DVI cable. On my computer monitor. Exact same random green pixels at certain points in the image.

This is on component (nintendo wii)

It is visible on playstation 3 blu ray, though not as prominent.

I really wish that it was a case of bad connections.

But after replacing hdmi cables and rca cables, it still exists.

So I'm thinking it's a ysustain problem.

I should also replace the z board too?

Re: Panasonic Plasma has weird red/green sparkles

intuitively, I have the feeling that hte problem is the y-sustain buffer. That is because it appears to me that the y and z are working fine, but that there's some problem in translation.

Good news!

I solved it.

the Wii console was defective somehow.

And apparently I have a ps3 that has problems as well.

This is a huge relief!
