Panasonic TH42PWD8 plasma - screen excessively bright

[Greg_M]

I've got a TH42PWD8 plasma that's got a good couple hundred hours of viewing on it, but I still have one problem.... the screen is very bright. I've tried playing around with the picture settings but I still have issues when white and yellow are shown together... they just appear to be the same colour.

Anybody able to shed some light (pun intended) on my problem?

Needs Engineers Attention!

Could be several problems:
Colour distortion
Memory
Data or Address line stuck at zero
loose connection.

GoodLuck!

HI
I know this may be a bit late but having worked with hundreds of these the fault sounds like the composite input card (seen it a few times).. try removing the card & connecting your pc to the vga input.. if the pic is ok then its the video card (ebay around £30)...

Hope this helps..
