Is my Plasma tellybox f***ed?

[MarkCup]

Two nights ago one line appeared, now there's two from top to bottom.

Warranty time I guess - but would it be repaired or replaced do you think?

 

[Tom]

cant you adjust the vertical/horizontal hold with a screwdriver?

Mine has them on the back

Oh and seriously, my guess is repaired. Have you tried another input source?

 

[Dafthead]

Looks fecked to me yeah, get on the avforums and see what they suggest

 

[Revels]

Thats not a good sign!

P.S. I f**king hate Ebdon. Starey prick.

Not tried another input for the Sky box, but switching between HDMi and Digital Freeview gives the same lines.

Anyone had a problem like this?
Sending this away for repair is going to be a massive pain in the arse!

 

[Revels]

Yours is the Pani isnt it?

I remember someone on the AV Forums had a Samsung Engineer come and look at his.

Where did you get it from? I bought mine from PC World purely for this reason, so I can take it back if I goes wrong.

 

[MarkCup]

Yep, it's the Panasonic TH42-PX70. Was an internet deal, a Store called Laskys.

I'll phone the Panasonic freephone number first I think, see what they suggest.

A similar thing happen to ours only about a week after we had it (talking about a year and half back now) a line about half inch in from the left and half way down the screen. Managed to replace it, ours in the 42-PV500

This happened to my mate. He had it about 2 -3 weeks short of a year. He took it back and paid 30 pound for a better model because it was not being made any more.

 

[FiXX]

yep its fooked, looks like it will need a whole new panel

 

[KDF]

Yes, as said above it will need a replacement panel.

My old Pioneer PDP-433mxe did this, exactly the same fault. As already said it will need a replacement panel.

Time to upgrade.

i've never known them to fix plasmas or lcds, just get replaced.
