Replacing the buffer board stopped the pumping up of -VY.
 
A replacement control card got rid of the double/interrupted set-up
waveform, though this double set-up seems to be valid for some
dual-scan units. Waveform out of Y_SUS now bog-standard, but
buffer test pointstill not following Y_SUS negative.
 
This produced an illuminated panel with vertical red/white/yellow
bands playing wack-a-mole left-right and center - at random -
for a few minutes, until a resistor in an RCD network located
towards the top of the buffer board popped - leaving a horizontal
dark green band across the top of the screen; the rest dark.
 
Replacing the resistor and cap(presumed culprit) allowed for a
repeat performance; same picture sequencing; same 47R 1W smd
resistor popped in same location.
 
. . . so its not just a defective RCD snubber.

Get a bright light and go over the entire display slowly looking for a single burned pixel. If you find one, the display is junk. Not common on LG but not unheard of either.

That would do it? - cause this repeated component failure?
 
Couldn't the connections to that single pixel be disconnected,
producing a black t on the screen, and non-popping parts?

After all taxes/fees, that's about what my unlimited local flat rate
line costs. I pay about $5 per month, give/take to a third party LD
service (TCI LD), for approximately 60 minutes of LD per month. 5
cents/min domestic plus tax. I probably make/receive more calls than
that. I hardly, if ever, use my cell. It's 10 cents per minute (but
nothing more), with a minimum of $10/year, so I make a point of not
using it.
