Please post here email contact so you can send me one.
The fix is: Buy a new plasma screen.
Screen burn on these is permanent. The display panels are not
available as a part as they are 99% the cost of the whole unit and cost
more to ship as a part due to the special packing then it does to ship
it installed in the unit.

Well, you could display exactly the opposite image until the whole
screen is equally burned :-).

Burn the rest of the screen with an image inverse to the burn, so all
pels have equal burn.

Is the burn confined to the periphery or to a corner, eg a station
logo? If so, would it be possible to modify the electronics so that
the viewable area would be limited to the good portion?

That's probably the ONLY possible 'fix'.

Sell 'em as-is at a relatively low price (USD 1000 or even 800)-- it's |
better than throwing them out, and I've seen new 42" plasmas for below 2000.
Perhaps a little tweak to the image control will make the burn less
prominent. I'd think dialing down the brightness might help |

It is, and in the end the screens will be quite well used looking, the
unfortunate problem with plasma screens is they will burn in easily and once
it happens they're essentially junk. |

Hi...
I can think of one way of possibly salvaging some
value from them...
The OP said they were all 42 inches. He also said they
were burned in only one corner.
So - if that corner isn't *too* big; then how about
shrinking the scan so that it essentially becomes a
36 or so inch set, with a dark mask around the edge?
He also said he had *lots* of them. So perhaps the first
mod might take up a bit of time to do, but then all the
rest should be not too bad.
Do I win? Send me mine :) :)
Take care.

Read the OP again. Nowhere in there did he say that it was a corner |
burn...I think that was a suggestion further down the thread.

How do you propose shrinking the scan on a digitally addressed flat panel
display?
Aside from that, he never said it was just in the corner. |

Where is the burn? How did it happen? What is the pattern?

If someone could solve this problem, they would be foolish to post the
solution here before patenting it. Think of the $millions that could be
made refurbing plasma screen TVs!
