Toshiba Plasma TV

I purchased a Toshiba 42HP66 plasma screen television on 04/07/07.

On the 22nd of July the picture was gone, so I took the television to

thier recommended repair center. The Y board is out and the cost to

repair is $549.13. I called the company and explained the television is

only 15 months old and they refused to consider paying for the cost of

the repair because after July 07, it was too far out past warranty. We

paid almost $1700.00 for the television and I believe it should have

lasted longer than that. I would think that Toshiba would stand behind

their products better than that.

We also bought a 50HP66 in 11/06. Same pop, same disgust in Toshiba customer service. There is a website you might be interested in that has many complaints concerning Toshiba Corporation. http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/395053.html. I am personally disgusted with Toshiba and will never buy another Toshiba product again.

We are also having the same problem. Our 42HP66 is only 2 years old. While watching the TV we heard a load POP and the picture went out. We still have sound.

We have also experienced the same problem that you are talking about, I am very disappointed in Toshiba and I will no longer purchase their products, It seems like this is a problem that should be on a manufacturer recall so that us the consumer don't have to eat the cost. I would be willing to sign a law suit against them if there is one in place already

We had the same issue with this set. I emailed Toshiba with my dissatisfation. I also know there is a class action lawsuit aginst their DLP TVs for misrepresenting the life span of their bulbs. I found another blog wherre there are about five or six other customers with the same problem. Do you know how many people have complained about theis model TV?
