TVs and warranty??

They're legally welcome to do that if they want to.

The didnt say that. There isnt a date specified in the TPA.

You do have the statutory warranty. The main problem with the staturory warranty is that it isnt a nice tidy time. A TV can be expected to last a lot longer than a pair of thongs used by a junkmail monkey delivering junk mail to letterboxes etc.

That is illegal with a warranty.

You can usually get management to see sense and if they are too stupid for that, the small claims system will make them pay anyway.

Not one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong, as always. Pity about the TPA.

Irrelevant to your legal rights, f****it child.

You should have monstered the seller and got it fixed under the statutory warranty.

Thats because they are legally obliged to do that, and thats true even if its well outside the 12 months stated warranty with a TV too.

Bullshite it was fixed because it was a known problem and some reasons which you will never guess , but it never hurts to try

I have a sony WEGA 68cm and an NEC 68cm. The NEC is hardly used and was replaced by the Sony that gets used every day. The Sony has a much better picture and has been going strong for about 4 years now, never once missed a beat. The NEC cost me nothing an is about 6 years old. The NEC looks pretty crap quality wise, but it still goes.

Fact.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

This one didn't.

Yeah, I keep thinking about that. Belkin eh? My area seems to cop a lot of strikes.

We took a strike recently , lost 20 ft of tree on the back fence , triggered the Belkins in the house and stopped my ups in the office , nothing died though.. and at $80.00 each I figure a save like that is good value .

The drop fuses on my power pole keep, er, dropping. Then I had the TV-killing strike, and one night there was an almighty flash and bang, and the house alarm triggered itself.

Sounds like you need some central filters and a few other bits"n"pieces installed . I would suggest in future if there is any likelyhood of lightening unplugging stuff would be good.

My Teac died 2 months before the 3 year warranty was up. Couldn't believe my luck when checking the original purchase date. Multiple dry joints reacted badly with the humidity of summer.

What happened ? did you try to have it repaired under warranty ?

Known problem , good congratulations

Fixed under warranty with no problems. Working fine since.

Regards, John.

With multiple dry joints, you'd have had a case to have it repaired at no cost even after the warranty expired, because dry joints are a manfacturing fault, not the result of wear and tear or the passage of time.

time.

And just how many consumers would know what the fault is, and be able to prove it. Not many manufacturers are going to admit it is a manufacturing fault once the warranty has expired. Having a case is one thing, getting satisfaction something else entirely.
