how do i get the picture back on my matsui 42" plasma?

I suggest that you take it back to Dixons/Currys and get them to sort it out. Which have mounted a campaign over recent years, the net of which is that TVs should last for at least five years no matter what the warranty says. A TV that doesn't is condsidered "Not to be of merchantable quality" and so should be fixed for free. BTW. Dixons/Currys can't pass you to the manufacturer for tewo reasons: 1) You bought it from them. 2) Matsui is a Dixons/Currys own brand. Give it a try and stand your ground.
