Back to life!:
I have a 65" Tosheba HD TV. It's around 5 years old (as of feb 2008). It's a great TV and our family has enjoyed it. Ironically of course I purchased a 5 year warranty and sure enough at 5 years and about 4 months I had a problem with it.
It started out with the color and it gradually got worse over a few days. I called the store we purchased it from and they referred me to the company that does their service. That company told me it would be $210.00 just to come out - ouch! Maybe an adjustment would resolve it for $250.But replacing parts may go upwards of $850 - double ouch! They suggested buying a new TV..no surprise there in today's day and age of throw away electronics. But to get something as good as I had I would have to spend at least $2000.
I have been leery of small appliance/plumbing service companies. There are so many horror stories but I figured I'd at least check. I came upon CEL TV on Google. The lady that answered seemed nice and quoted $75 to come out and look at it and from what I described he could possibly fix it for $350 with the $75 being applied to my price if I decided to go forward.
Sounded too good to be true but I figured I'll at least spend $75 to have him take a look. It was clear to me he was a single individual who did his own work and also farmed out some work to technicians he paid to help. No problem there.
First he was able to come later that day. That was nice as a lot of places you have a wait a while. He was prompt which I appreciate as well. We had to get my massive TV away from the wall along with the huge, most he'd ever seen he said, jumble of wires :)
He took the back off and I watched him out of curiosity. I'm a software engineer and enjoy seeing how things work. It was a large circuit board with alot of doohickies (technical term :)) on it. As he had suspected he would need to replace two of those doohickies.
It took him about 2.5 hours to do the work. He said he could have shaved an hour off the time had he gone about it in a different way but some of the doohickies can be sensitive and can be damaged. As far as I was concerned that was no problem..take the time needed.
To be clear here this was not a pull a part out and plug a new one in. He had to pull parts off of a circuit board and solder new ones in so this was not trivial. When he was done and we put everyting back together we turned it on and it was all better.
Needless to say I was EXTREMELY PLEASED!!! He gave me an estimate, came promply, did what I would call significant work, provided new parts and stayed within his estimate.
A for cel tv!!!!!
