forgot to tell you that we have been having trouble with the Samsung tv yet again.
We have written to complain to Samsung, i think it was a duff set. Originally, we only had it a few months then the picutre wouldnt come on, so the repair shop kept it for 3 months. They said they had to do a big job on it. Then a few months ago, it started taking ages and ages to come on, and eventaully wouldnt come on at all. We have not had it for even 2 years.
The year warranty was up, but I thought it was worth writing to complain that we think it was a duff set, because we paid a lot of money for it, and it was never fit for its purpose.
Dont think we will get anywhere with them, but thought it was worth a try. It is just sitting here now again, gathering dust, and we only have a small lounge tv again.
I am completly off Samsung stuff now.
is yours still working ok?
Good Morning Mollie.
Sorry to hear about your TV, they are complex things, don't know why the repair shop had it 3 months last time, they obviously werent repairing it all that time.
It would only take a few hours to repair if they had the parts.
If the picture won't come on that is a small problem really and should only take a few minutes to fix.
The problem is, with all this stuff from abroad they may not have the spare parts in this country.
All the parts are shipped over here, but that's a problem in itself.
You can have the same problem with any make, they are all the same, doubt if one is better than another.
Mine seems OK, the other day I couldn't get it to turn on with the remote control but it would come on with the button on the front, now it's working on the remote again, don't know why.
All the Electrical appliances are throw away types these days, you might get a good one, you might not.
Some items last for years, some don't, best to just forget about it and get another one.
Your only entitled to 12 months out of it, the rest is a bonus.
