Im not sure if Panasonic was using ball grid array around the time your plasma was manufactured. I know that Samsung, and LG did, but I have a Maxent Plasma, (panasonic guts) that uses a pin configured IC. Not BGA. I reflowed with a clean soldering iron across the pins with a little flux. Worked like a charm. Did two of them. Had the same symptoms yours is giving, and lockup upon using the remote too and wouldnt turn off

I've had some luck reflowing older, larger ball BGA chips with lead solder, but the newer, smaller ones are almost impossible. If they couldn't get a lasting connection in the factory under ideal conditions with fresh parts, then a reflow is unlikely to last. Chronic failure means that the design simply puts too much stress on the solder balls.
I think of BGA rework as sort of a "black art" and i've been doing it for 16yrs. now for both commercial and military customers alike
I'm still surprised even to this day i haven't gone insane yet!
