I just bought a 42 inch LG Plasma flat screen at the thrift store in hopes of fixing it. I paid $30 for it. The screen is in perfect condition-no scratches or cracks. It was being sold "as is" for parts. When you plug it in, the power light lights up red. When you try to turn it on, it clicks and the power light blinks green a couple times and then goes back to steady red. I would like to fix this myself without having to take it to a repair shop and pay big money to get it fixed. That is why I bought it-just took a chance for $30 that it could be fixed fairly easily. Any ideas as to what might be the problem? How can I troubleshoot this myself without having to take it to a repair shop?
