In Reply to: Pinging Joe Murphy Jr. & others: wazzup with my Plasma display? posted by Bosh on November 18, 2003 at 19:26:40:
I warned you about not getting a Panasonic plasma. The wrath has come upon you. Damn heathen...I'm just kidding, as usual. I have no idea what's causing this.
Just kidding again. I have seen several members on AVS forum report this about their plasmas. Some of the suggestions in the posts below may help or completely eliminate the problem for you. From what you're saying, it sounds like a power supply or transformer issue. Am I correct in understanding that when it goes away it doesn't come back while the plasma is on?
Here's a list of some other possible causes of the problem. Is the STB new or one you've been using? Have you switched to a different type of output to the plasma (S-video to component, maybe)? Is there something else now plugged into the same outlet as the plasma? Or maybe on the same line? Is everything plugged into the same dedicated line or do you have multiple dedicated lines? Are you forgetting about a recent change? Did you not get the $2600 Shunyata power cord like I told you to?
A few people that reported the problem were using the component outputs from their STB. One member happened to have a DVI output and tried this output to the plasma. Problem disappeared. Others got a STB upgrade from their provider (who happened to be upgrading their network) and used the DVI output to eliminate the problem.
You might try doing a search in AVS forum in the Plasma and LCD Flat Panel Displays section. I'm sure you'll find some information and maybe a possible solution to the problem (if my or others' suggestions don't do it).
In the end, you may end up needing a service call. I hope that's not the case, but if it is I hope you can get it resolved quickly. If I think of anything else (thinking of Britney Spears right now), I'll let you know. I'll check AVS forum when I get a chance and see if I can find out any more information that could help you.
