I picked up this 60" plasma a few months ago as a freebie with the proviso that it may not be working, it was close to home so took a gamble.
When first switched on most of the time it will boot to the LG logo then freeze but occasionally i just get a blank screen with back lighting, sometimes it will boot up to a usable state and i am able to watch tv and use the smart features like youtube.
I pulled the psu board out looking for dry joints or bulging caps but caps look fine and there are no obvious dry solder joints, i haven't removed any of the other boards since my knowledge is limited to replacing caps and modding game consoles( jtag/rgh/chips etc).
Would be good if i can save this tv instead of going to the tip.
