Warranty ran out Oct of last year. It died Oct of this year. Panasonic didn't even offer to replace it at cost from me. I literally have a dead tv with a known issue that won't be touched. Recycling the damn thing costs $200 alone. TV is only 3 years old! Real ****ing cute Panasonic. It's times like these I feel like going on a corporate murderous rampage.

I might try to replace the boards myself. Ebay seems to have them cheap enough. I have no idea what I'm doing on the tv. So this'll be interesting. Enough threads online to see it's a known issue though. Found a few guides also. Hopefully $100 in parts fixes this. Vizio will be my next brand of tv. Hulagirl has me weary of samsung, LG is known garbage, panasonic can burn in hell, sony is overpriced, and insignia is best buy junk quality.

:confused: dont u have a neighbor u dont like? just place it on his driveway... free! :icon17:

I would, but he'd find a way to sell it for more crack. I can't promote unhealthy drug use hahaha

at the current rate of new electronics coming out, i think 3yrs is a pretty good interval to replace it with a new one? :confused:

not dat i agree with wat panasonic is doing, but might be a good excuse to get u a nice new tv to replace?

kinda reminds me of my faking LG washing machine... :ugh:

LG = Large Garbage


:ugh2:

...just making sure we all knew wat it meant. no longer LuckyGoldstar.

Replace instead of last is rather sad. Especially for things in excess of $1,000. That's a lot of money for anyone every few years. Could be spent in other places. I'm going to try and fix the tv myself and see how it goes. I can swallow $100 in parts if they don't work. I'd go on a rampage if i bought another $1,000 tv to have it die in under 3 years.

yah, but if i were u not worth the hassle to be mad.

i kept the LG aka Large Garbage as i found a barbaric solution for it (place tray under leaking washing machine :ugh: ) but if not, i wouldve just bought a new one even if it was only a yr old and costs 1500 or watever.

i hate dealing with stupid. :mad:

not to mention the pos MayTag fridge. every faking yr i need to de-ice the evaporator drain...otherwise water leaks out too.

I'm just entertrolling panasonic on their forms of social media. Keeps me from going ballistic over the phone on some random Indian guy. Next new tv will be from Costco since they have amazing warranty policies. This'll be followed by TONS of pictures posted on Crapsonics facebook page showcasing how a real tv should act.

All these companies have facebook, twitter, and instergram pages now. i'd start screwing with them. What's the worse that happens? They ban you? hahahaha

so much for 'innovation' or 'state of the art' :ugh:

more like 'half-arsed' or 'start of the fart' :mad:
