So we have a Panasonic 50" LCD TV that we bought about a year and a half ago (still paying on it don't you kow). It blew the main lamp just before the manufacturer's warranty ran out, and Sears replaced it (the Lamp) for free. That was about 6 months ago and it's done it again. Is there some kind of "Lemmon Law" for TVs? Anyway I can make Panasonic replace the TV or even have Sears take it back? What can I do about this, the damn Lamps are easy/simple to replace but they cost about $300 ea, that could get expensive!

Good info here guys, I appreciate it! I've never heard any strange noise from the set. There is supposed to be a message pop up on the screen when the lamp has reached a certain number of life hours, and we don't get that..just a blank screen and a little red flashing light at the bottom of the set labled "lamp".
Funny thing is, when it happened the first time the Sears repair man ordered the lamp to be sent directly to my house and suggested that I replace it myself. He showed me how, and I swear it couldn't be easier, I think a child could do it. So the $300 lamp came a few days later and I installed it myself, no problem.. but then like two days later another (brand new) lamp shows up at my doorstep from the same vendor, shipped by mistake I assume (it wasn't returned). So I got 2 of these expensive lamps, I have a new one I could put in right now but I don't want to if it's only going to last 6 more months and then this happen again. Doug C |
