32hl67u problems I recently purchased a regza 32hl67us. for 2-1/2 weeks it provided a great picture for whatever I was using it for. Then... all it does it turn it self off and on- unless its unplugged of course. No picture just speaker popping. Contacted their local service center (which is just contract as they don't have their own service centers) and took the TV in- they told me it was the LCD itself and that the part was back ordered for 5-6 months. Anybody else have this problem? Anybody get a replacement tv out of it? 32hl67u problems I recently purchased a regza 32hl67us. for 2-1/2 weeks it provided a great picture for whatever I was using it for.

Good luck getting service from Toshiba's authorized service shops! It was a nightmare for me. (see post re: audio sync problem for my update.) Also, if you are even remotely dissatisfied with the item's performance, do not wait to return it to Amazon. Returned items have to be actually received by Amazon by the deadline. Items like this that are shipped via freight (Eagle) present a bigger problem to return. Expect resistance from Amazon! Again, GOOD LUCK.

I bought this TV from warehouse deals on this site. TV was beautiful, but the minor damage they stated for the refurbished model was very much understated. The remote control was completely dead - yes I tried changing the batteries - the thing just does not work. I couldn't get the component video or s-video connections to work. Also couldn't get the tuner to work with the side controls. It wouldn't change channels. Unfortunately I have to send this thing back. Too bad too because I really like the way it looks and the picture.

You've probably gotten yours fixed or resolved the issue by now, but I have the version of this TV with built in DVD player and recently mine started doing the same thing. The TV would turn on and try to load a DVD and just come back with no disc... no disc... no disc.. I contacted Toshiba and they said leave it off/unplugged for 3 minutes. That didn't end up working. I searched through the menu's for a system reset or restore defaults and found one under Setup > Installation > System Status/System Information. Switch to the next menu and follow instructions when it asks for the code.I did this and it seems to have fixed the issue so far (been 48hrs and it hasn't turned on on its own).

Gave trhis as present around x-mas 2007. Found out recently that unit went belly up and has been at the "service" center for about 4 months. Chose this because of reviews but seems that there is an inherent defect according to service center. Pc. of Junk. Gave away a problem instead of gift. What a fiasco. Stay away Toshiba. Have various SONYs. Decades without problems.

I bought a bulb and it went out a short time after as well.but I replaced the whole TV instead of trying to fight the tv. I didn't try to warranty the bulb. Sorry this doesn't help

I found out the tv is still under warranty through Am Exp. They told me to have a technician come to give an estimate. I called Geek Squad and when he came out he told my husband it was still under warranty and never charged us the $150 diagnostic fee (Great, I'm not complaining!). So he said the panel is bad and ordered a new one. (He said that it was possible we might get a new tv if they no longer had the panels.) He is coming next week to install it. I advise anyone with this problem to ask your credit card company if they offer an extended warranty on it if you purchased it with a credit card as I did with Am Express.

I purchased the VIZIOX VT323SV32-Inch Full HD on July 27th. Several times over the past 2 months, while I am watching a program, the screen goes black, the Vizio logo flashes on and off orange for about 30 second, the logo goes white again, and the program pops back on. At first I thought it was a firmware update, but after the 3rd time I contacted Vizio Support. It was acknowledged this is a "known" problem they are working on. Does the comparable Sony discussed in this blog have any similar problems? I don't know if Amazon will take the Vizio back as it is over the 30 days.

Don't waste your money on extended warranties... they are there for these companies to profit from. You will know right away if there is something wrong with the TV.

Had the same problem. There are computer boards inside the back of the TV. One or more has gone bad, for me it was two. Not a problem for amateurs to fix. I watched the technician diagnose the problem and it was time consuming and, to me, a complicated procedure. When he found the ones that went bad they had to be replaced,$, not fixed. So, you end up with two tech visits, one to determine what is wrong so the replacement boards can be ordered and a second to install them, which again was complicated. He told me the boards they installed from the factory are not as good as they used to be compared to older model flat screens. He could not say whether the new replacement ones were any better. It appears that Panasonic is saving money by putting cheaper computer boards in. Call Panasonic and they can give you the names of Panasonic certified repair shops in your area. It cost me more because I had them come to the house as the TV was too unwieldy for me to transport to their shop.Hope this helps you. Bill

I have a 42LM6200 that after about 18 months would not boot up at all. I Googled the TV and found many articles about the boards in this TV being defective. Most repair shops wanted $150 just to look at the TV. I searched for a supplier and found a replacement board, the boards are no longer manufactured, so I ended up with a refurbished one. Spend about $90 for the board. It took less than an 1/2 hour to replace. good luck

I had the same problem the TV started to flicker and the screen had vertical rainbow colored screen. Called support and they told me it was out of warranty and the TV never has this problem. After googling it it appears this is a problem with Samsung TV's. I bought a Sony instead. Threw the Samsung in the trash. Customer service was awful and they lied ever knowing about this problem. But once you google it it is a common consistent problem.

If you are trying to get your tablet to connect with the LNT4061F via an HDMI connection, all I can say is be careful. The HDMI on my LNT4061F never worked properly and when it did "work", I would say that it worked half the time. Because of the issues with HDMI, I went to Samsung's website to check to see if there was a firmware update which might help solve the HDMI. I downloaded the latest firmware update and it fried my TV. I thought there would be a way to undo the update and there was not. I contacted Samsung and all they could say was, "why did you install the firmware?" My answer back to them was, "why didn't you place some type of warning on the update to state that the update might not work and that it might render your TV useless?" No comment on Samsung's part and no they did not offer any type of resolution. It would have been nice if they offered a discount on a new TV or on a replacement board for the TV but they did not. Then again, I have come to expect very little from Samsung in terms of service. We have a refrigerator from them that developed rust after about 13 months and a Samsung dryer with parts that have burned up during use so I know about Samsung. I bought a replacement set from Panasonic and it has been excellent. I have no idea about how Panasonic will be in terms of support but then again, nothing has gone wrong with the TV so... there you go!

I had six Mitsubishi DLP TVs, only 2 working now. Most lasted about 5 to 6 years before going to the landfill, 3 of them needed lamp replacements. The 2 working is about 8 years old. Great picture while it was working but slow to turn on and off. They had a lot of problems and I would not buy another DLP. Mitsubishi doesn't make any DLPs after 2011. Very happy with my flat screens, getting a 4K next week.

Hello Gail, I bought mine several years ago for my wife. She uses it at work and to this day she has yet to have any problems with it. She watches it everyday at work during lunch. My suggestion is to make sure you have it on the right settings for watching TV,DVD,and aux input, if you try all those and the picture still doesn't work then you may need to send it in to Coby. The only other thing that I may say is the region setting may be off but, only if the picture doesn't work for the DVD only, if you aren't getting any picture on any of the input methods there may be some internal malfunction going on. Hope this helps. Hello Gail, I bought mine several years ago for my wife. She uses it at work and to this day she has yet to have any problems with it. She watches it everyday at work during lunch.

There is a service bulletin out for this tv. I just had mine fixed by best buy under warrantee. The motherboard and the cable going to it short out and cause this issue. It will slowly get worse. Service bulletin ASC20130429001

Report this to Amazon. If you have not had the tv very long, make sure you don't let the first 30 days run out without replacing it. Amazon is amazing about replacement. My son's LG 4600 went totally out after using it just two weeks. Turned itself off and never came back on. He had a brand new replacement within 4 days.

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

sounds like you have had some bad luck. I've had mine for 3 yrs, have moved twice during that time and have never had any issues with the remote or the tv for that matter. Sorry. :-(

It's a defective chip. I had the same thing happen. My TV was out of warranty. I found that this is a known problem, and Mitsubishi is willing to cover the cost of the part. I had to pay for the house call/ labor which came to $200.00. Contact Mitsubishi customer service. They should offer the same deal. You can Google this problem, and you'll see that it's pretty common.

yes,my TV was sent to repair shop for black screen some time. Beware that you need to check when it ships back to you.they lost the TV base and broke the frame too. Then, I have made a lot of phone calls .it is hard to deal with them.good luck
