Well, just had a repair guy out for the third time in about 18 months. First time was the under rated Capacitors on the DM board. the next time was a blown cap on the FMT board, this time it was about 18 caps and looks like the FMT board is fried. Power surge you say, nope, I've got one of those home theater power conditioners, and all the other components are just fine. I am VERY disappointed in Mitubishi over this whole episode. This repair guy has probably logged 40 man-hours on my TV alone, and from what he says I am not his only peeved Mitsubishi owner. So, now I am looking at replacing the whole core or buying a new TV. Mitsubishi should have recalled this model as soon as these issues started popping up. If there is a class action suit out there I'd love to be a part of it. The parts have not been bad, but the labor charges are killing me, and I am sure this guy is getting tired of spending days at a time sitting on the floor of my living room.
Sign me up too!
Hello,
Is anyone interested in getting in on a class action lawsuit against Mitsubishi and their (known?) defective DLP televisions? I've seen numerous posts regarding lamps, ballast boards, DLP engines, total rebuilds, poorly assembled thermistor sensors, air flow problems, useless repairmen, etc. etc.
I too am experiencing the joy of making 3 Diamond Card payments as well as HD cable programming payments all for a television that stopped working back on June 30, 2007 and has had 2, now a pending 3rd, unsucessful attempts by incompetent "authorized repair centers" to fix it. ITS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD!!! Randomly replacing parts without performing electronic troubleshooting is totally unacceptable.
Anyway, please let me know if anyone would be willing to sign some papers and get this thing going.
Thanks!
