Unplugging camcorder haven't damage your set. Looks like you have an issue with you main/signal board. while you pull the plug, you may stress the connections on the board, what about to be happen, anyway.To diagnose and fix plazma you must be an expert, definitely not a beginner. If you want to take a chance of braking the display, you may try to poke it open, face down on soft surface(about 50 screws) and tap on the board with all of plug connections, wile tv is working, but need someone to help you, by holding tv on it's bottom(if there are no speakers) or top.look at the screen and see, if tapping makes a difference. If it is, you've got lucky! If not, surrender to experts. good luck, Alex's TV Service, Philadelphia, PA 215-806-5980.
