The few weeks ago, I flipped my TV on and it wouldn't come on. The red LED in front just kept flashing until it went out and the "Lamp" light flashed on. Oh great, my spouse had just left on a militaristic deployment and now I am without TV. I immediately logged onto my PC to type my husband, who just insisted we buy a LCD HDTV three years ago. I told him that his "impressive" TV is down and now I have no spouse and no TV either. You have to love current technology because the next thing I know, he wrote back and told me he bought the lengthened warranty on the Sony HDTV. The extended warranty only lasts 4 years so I knew we were pushing it. I also knew the paperwork was lost somewhere with all the rest of the essential papers we had. After sifting through documents for an hour, I eventually recovered it in an unopened box from our move. I opened it up and found the date of our purchase, almost 3 months shy of four years. YES! So I rang Sony and let them know the HDTV model I have and my purchase number. They set up a local electronics store to come to my home, make certain it was the lamp and then replace it. They even gave me an appointment day and time. I waited around all day for the tech to come to my residence the day of the appointment but he never showed up. Do you know how bothersome it is to go from a 52" HDTV to no high definition 19" TV? It's quite dissatisfying. I called the electronics Co. and ask them what happened. They gave me another repair date and apologized, which was satisfactory, everyone makes mistakes. Nevertheless, the next appointment never happened either. Then I called again and they said that they just went ahead and ordered the lamp. They said the lamp would arrive in two days. Three days afterwards, there was still no lamp. It wasn't until virtually 2 weeks afterward that they eventually got to my residence with the lamp. The two techs simply took off the front panel to the TV, unscrewed the lamp framing, and replaced it. It took about ten minutes. I could have certainly ordered the lamp myself and repaired it more than a week ago. I will definitely remember that for the next time my loved high definition television's bulb goes out.
