Plasma TVs are prone to failure. If you're lucky it'll be a cheap part to replace. My own PDP developed a dead horizontal line on the panel after about 3 years. It was out of warranty but I managed to talk Samsung into paying for the parts (a new panel is around $600) while I paid for the labour. It cost me about $180 to repair it, now it's as good as new. You may have similar luck.
either power supply, bad cap, bad motherboard. usually TV's nowadays aren't worth fixing, the parts costs more than a new TV.
