LG Plasma 50PC5D-UL random colored pixilation

[high-tech]

I got this tv from friends and it would power cycle on and off... I took it apart and it was so full of dust the fan wouldn't run so the tv shuts down. I cleaned it all out now the tv stays on but I got this snowy colored random pixels, they really show up in the darker areas of the picture and in black areas top and bottom of the screen when playing a DVD. Could this be a bad panel or buffer boards or???

I wish I could post pictures but my phone wont let me and I don't have internet until I get to work.

Sounds very much like a worn PDP,the panels on LG plasmas don't seem to last too long.
A little tweak,though not really recommended,is to VERY slightly adjust the vs up and vs down on the Ysus,which can minimise the issue,at the expense of over-running the buffer ic's.these sets were the LG lemon,with xsus and ysus failing together,taking out all four intelligent power modules in one go,every 12 months or so.A miracle yours has survived!
