Toshiba LCD Seine Board

[cookdoggie]

I have a 37" Toshiba LCD, purchased Oct 2006, 1 year warranty. The picture went blank a few days ago and the repair guy says it needs a new seine board - a $500 part + labor! Am I nuts to expect Toshiba or the dealer (Video Only) to stand behind their product? Is this normal, we have to purchase new LCD TV's every 18 months?

Seine board? Tell him to learn what he's doing. The suspect would be the t-con board/logic board.

I've had the SAME problem! I was *REALLY* lucky, since my Toshiba 42HL167 was still on warranty (it had a *15* month warranty, they probably calculate 2-3 months to allow the store to sell the good, I dunno).

It was the seine board as well... took only 24 hours to fix by the local repair shop and now it works perfectly and work is guaranteed for another 6 months.

Does not sound good to me at all. Well the same thing has happened to me and the repairing charges are somewhat on the same lines as "cook" referred to here in the first place. Am now wondering if its a good idea to get these LCD TVs which are appearing to be faulty every now and then well not everyone has the funds to arrange their repairs. Am out of my wits now.
