I have a 63" NEC plasma in for repair, and after getting it going (bad MOSFETs in PSU) I noticed a darkish blob about 3" * 6" in the top lefy hand corner. It looks exactly like the soot that is liberally coating the rest of the electronics, except that it appears to be on the inside of the front glass cover. Is it possible to separate the front glass from the rest without destroying the integrity of the tube ?. M

There is a sheet of glass on top of the plasma tube. If it's between this front glass and the plasma tube, you can fix it. If it's inside the plasma tube, then it's obviously not fixable. Andy Cuffe

Yes, but I don't see how such a problem would likely occur inside the tube since it would have to extend over hundreds or thousands of pixels which are all separate from each-other and sounds like they are working. So, it must be between the tube and the front glass.

Yes, Sam, that's what I figured as well - it got in there somehow, so (hopefully) there's gotta be a way of getting it out - (obviously it cannot be within the plasma tube itself). My question is really about the removability of the cover glass (without destroying the plasma tube). It looks like this :
