RE: RCA 25" TV - 13 months after purchase, TV started making a horrible buzzing sound - couldn't turn the TV off without unplugging it

13 months after purchasing a RCA 25" TV, the tv started making a horrible buzzing sound. At the same time we could not turn the tv off without unplugging it. We took it to a repair shop who informed us that a very shoddy soldering job was done in the factory. As a result several parts had to be fixed for a $202.00 cost.

We were also informed that there has been a class action suit against RCA for the same problem with older tv's. Does anyone know of the attorneys who handled the class action suit? WE are interested in knowing if another class action suit is being started on these newer tv's.

My RCA 27" started making the Buzzing sound and will not power on. As soon as the pwr crd is plugged in it starts to buzz w/no front pwr LED. TV is less than two years old.
