light in front just kept flashing until it went out and the "Lamp"
light came on. Oh fine, my hubby had just left on a military
deployment and now I am without TV.
I instantly logged onto my laptop to type my spouse, who just
insisted we buy a LCD HDTV three years ago. I told him that his
"awesome" television is broken and now I have no spouse and no TV either.
You have to love recent technology because the next thing I know, he
wrote back and told me he bought the extensive warranty on the Sony HDTV.
The extended warranty only lasts 4 years so I knew we were pushing it.
I also knew the paperwork was lost somewhere with all the rest of the
important papers we had. After fumbling through documents for an
hour, I finally located it in an unopened box from our move. I opened it up
and saw the date of our purchase, just 3 months shy of four years.
YES! So I rang Sony and let them know the HDTV model I have and my
purchase code. They set up a local electronics place to come to my place,
make positive it was the lamp and then replace it. They even gave me an
appointment day and time.
I waited around all day for the serviceman to come to my home the day of the
repair but he never showed up. Do you know how annoying it is to
go from a 52" HDTV to no high definition 19" television? It's quite dissatisfying.
I called the electronics Co. and ask them what happened. They gave
me another repair date and apologized, which was fine, everyone makes
mistakes. Nonetheless, the next appointment never happened either.
Then I called again and they said that they just went ahead and ordered the
lamp. They said the lamp would arrive in two days. Three days afterwards,
there was still no lamp. It wasn't until virtually 2 weeks after that they
finally got to my residence with the lamp.
The two techs just took off the front access panel to the television,
unscrewed the lamp framing, and replaced it. It took roughly ten minutes. I
could have certainly ordered the lamp myself and repaired it more than a
week ago. I will definitely remember that for the next time my loved
high definition television's bulb goes out.
