Plasma TV screen issue

[tech2014]

The tv was working then all of a sudden there was a loud pooping sound then the screen went black. There appears to be ghost images on screen, see pic below. Is this a bad screen or something that can be fixed easily. Its an LG 60PCID-UE

It'll be one or more of the IPM's.

Hard to change, only S/H ones available and expensive, so recommend you ascertain which board has the faulty one--and replace the whole board....

To add to Alastair's comments, most likely Z-sustain IPM bad

Good luck finding a decent priced board - I am in the market as well. Current ebay prices floating around $200, too much for a set of this vintage imho.

I already replaced the erc ipm I think it was. Set ran beautifully for about ten hours before popping again.

Hope i dont upset anybody by posting this question here. Can someone give me an idea of if this would stop a plasma screen tv from displaying? see attached photo

Absolutely would not display an image with a crack like that.

could be worth flogging on Ebay for parts. what is it? working remote?

That way you get paid for someone else taking the trash out.

Its a Samsung PS42C451B2D and yes has working remote, I tried to turn it on again for the last attempt but now doesn't even make the start up tone unless the power to the logic board or power to the y-sus is disconnected. Thanks for the suggestion but I think age and lack of use (sitting unused) has now got the better of it.

yeah well with cracked panel possibly shorted and now boards could also be shorted out trying to power this up.

I had an old Sanyo remote, was going to toss it but got $25 but they're unavailable and was Original. You just don't know what is junk to one can be handy for others. Even stands can be worth something for those who wall mount and toss them out then someone needs a stand later?

Sometimes just not worth the hassle.
