Sorry, not familiar with the technique of heating or cooling boards...

I forgot to test/share what occurs when I pull up a menu... The TV actually looked great for a moment or two, then the menu was pixelated, eventually unviewable. Sample image attached. (This is with an input displaying content)....

Re: Samsung 42" Plasma PN42C450B1D

Resurrecting an existing post (as I have the same model PN42C450BZ, but a slightly different issue). Recently the picture on our set has been having display issues (audio is not impacted). The TV will power on, and the picture looks great, then shortly thereafter (can be minutes, or an hour later), the picture is no longer viewable. Lots of Green/Red pixels. Based on reading through this post, and Tom's link/his quick guide for this model TV, I am still uncertain what to suspect (logic board, main board, or elsewhere). I have already replaced...

Lots of great information here! Looking to salvage my Samsung Plasma...PN42C450B1D Nothing fancy, but I prefer the overall look of a Plasma over the LCD/LEDs on the market (unless you go really high end).
