I have direct tv and was watching tv the weather was good. out of nowhere it made a loud pop and shut off and will not turn back on. I have an extended warranty thru circuit city's advantage protection plan
but its been two months since I faxed my paer work to warranty company and was told three weeks ago by them that they were sending a bulb and some other part to my house and I would have to
install it. I can't get thru to them on there 800 number because since
circuit city went out of business they have been getting a very volume of calls. I was told the part would take one week to ship and its been 3 weeks and waiting.
Warranty not worth the paper it is written on
under warranty it is not a requirement that you fit/ fix anything
the only option is to take it to a repair shop for a diagnosis and quote and then decide if the power hungry plasma set is worth repairing
LED sets use 1/10 the power of plasma units so an upgrade will save money

likely blew a cap or diode in the power supply ,
if you stay out of it then it will cost less to service,
techs hate to work on a mess of someone else's

i just had the same problem. after talking to many tv repair people i finally got a knowledgeable person to help me. i ordered the part and fixed it myself.
it was very easy. i have an LG model# 50px1d. so if you had this problem i suggest you order the part yourself and fix it. i got an estimate for repair and it wouldv'e cost me at least $500 parts and labor. i paid $230 for the part. so you can see i saved a little more than half. the part you need is the " Z SUS " ASSEMBLY. you can order the part from LG website. the part # is 6871QZH044C.
let's just say after doing everything myself, i am watching TV right now.
by the way LG would not help me at all. spread the word that LG is not a good product.

This is almost certainly the device that sends electricity to the the plasma in the panel after failing. Bring to your local repair shop and expect to pay 300-400 parts and 100-200 labour.
