My girlfriend bought me an early Christmas gift of an HDTV last month and it quit working today. It is stuck in a continuous loop of turning itself on and off. I have done lots of troubleshooting and the TV is hosed.

It is 2 days after the 30 day return policy expired. I am going to the store tomorrow to literally beg them to exchange it.

It is still under warranty, but I would rather exchange it than deal with having a repair tech come to the house.

I hope everyone's x-mas was better than mine.

-cheers

Not a Samsung is it?

Samsung are nice products but woefully unreliable.

Actually, it is a Samsung.

oh god dont tell me that - you've got me worried now!
i only just got my samsung yeserday!
what model is it?
it was madness... xmas day im trying to put it up on the wall with my 1 year old clinging on to my leg with my 2year old stamping on my foot shouting "s**t" and "mr tumble" alternately. funnily enogh this mr tumble guy is a fav cbeebies character (kids tv)

good luck getting it fixed dude.... n keep me posted! if its the same one il get mine insured!!!

It's the LN52A650

Place I bought it from wouldn't exchange it. I don't blame them. The 30 days for returning we over, although that was only 2 days ago.

Called Samsung and actually the repair place came today. They needed to take the TV to their shop.

Keeping me fingers crossed.

Funny... every Samsung product I've owned has worked perfectly. In fact I'd go so far as to recommend Samsung products over everything else.

YMMV

i was always under the illusion that samsung were a reliable brand... jsut goes to show tha the big brands arent always best.

hope you get it fixed dude - i would imagine youre dying to get it back onto a games console. finally got to play my 360 on HD... holy hell it puts my big box tv from 6 years ago to shame!
