Probably buffer boards and/or Y-main board. Very common on Samsung built TV's. You will need to check the voltages at the y_main. Around 180V, 60V. There is a sticker on the PDP of what it's supposed to be. Check the PS carefully. Usually it it's a cap, it's one of the smaller ones buried among the others. The PS may still power up with a bad cap. There is a lot of info on testing the buffers on the internet. They are expensive used and new ones are NLA. If the buffers are shorted, more than likely the Y-main is toast. Inspect the buffers carefully for burn marks or holes. These are on the right hand side looking from the front.
