TV takes time to "warm up" and flickers black?

I’ve got a 42” plasma, it’s some no name, I’ll get all the specific information if need be. However I’m hoping someone can identify it as a general issue with a common fix. Essentially the TV takes 10min to “warm up”. If I turn it on before I turn my device on there’s a solid blue screen, like the TV can display picture. But as soon as I turn the device on the screen goes black, the picture will flicker from black to the actual image very rapidly. As it warms up the black flicker will slow down until eventually you get a steady image. This has been getting steadily worse, taking longer to warm up. And now there’s even a very gradual flicker during viewing. Before after the flicker stopped you could view the media perfect, but now about every 30 seconds there’s a black flicker during the show. It’s brief and tolerable, but something obviously is going bad. I’m using the component inputs, and I’ve tried switching to HDMI and switching to a different device, but getting the same result. Is this common, is there a fix for this? I’m pretty techy, I can even solder if need be, I just don’t even know where to start. Any ideas?
