Philips plasma image retention, sparkles

Hi all, I have a 42" philips 42pf9631d/37. I was given the tv for nothing for a couple reasons. One being the famous sparkles, its all samsung components and no adjusting fixes that, so I have accepted the X and Y boards need to be replaced. The other issue, which I am not sure if it is related to those boards, is temporary image retention. I am not talking about burn in, what happens is on mostly dark back ground, if the image, regardless of what it is, it removed (like the source unplugged) parts of it will stay for a few seconds, seems worse on something that was white, like the channel bar or the apple logo from my apple tv. I have seen this before on my Zenith Z50PX2D, but not any where near as bad. My friend has an LG set that does the same as mine, and just as bad. IT will even keep the image if you shut off the set and turn it on later, but it will only appear for a second and then clear out. I'll try to get a picture of this posted later today. Am I looking at a bad panel, or could it just be the X an Y boards? Thanks
