toshiba sucks

got me a 42in. toshiba plasma last week. couple days ago, when i turned it on. i had sound but, the top half of the screen was green and nothing on the bottom. thought, great, whats wrong with the cable now? hour or two later, turned it on, no probs. following morning, same thing. checked tv in bedroom, was fine. got to playing with it and it wouldnt switch channels. turned it on and off a couple of times and it started working. today, same thing cept it never started working. unplugged it for a few and no it wont even turn on. wont do anything!

the kicker, when i called best buy, turns out that since i spent an extra 400 bones on the extended warranty i have to send it in for repairs. cant exchange it for another one. cant get my money back. cant even upgrade and pay the difference. all of these things are store policy, unless you buy the extended service plan! then ur srewed.

this is gonna be expensive cause i am taking this tv back as soon as jennifer wakes up to watch the baby. they will give me my money back or i am going to do my best to shove that tv up someones... well, lets just say someonesgonna have one hi-def bum! so, undoubtedly, i will be going to jail today. not good, since i just had court yesterday for assaulting a police officer (long story). i beat the rap but, pretty sure the judge not gonna be happy to see me again so soon! wish me luck.tx

I've had my 50" Toshiba HDTV for about 4 years, no problems at all (knocking on wood). Good thing cause I never buy extended warranties.

Good luck!

Been There, Done that Racer. about two years ago toshiba 50" wide screen, had it three weeks and audio went out. If I remember right, they (the service company) came and picked it up...stole my high bit Patriot DVD too. in August. Couldn't get parts for it... blah blah blah. Bottom line, after 3 months and no TV back I told Best Buy to keep it, I did not want it back.. thay did not like it, espacially since my Discover card credited me the whole amount pending outcome. Went out and upgraded to better model at BrandsMart for $400 less. never heard from BestBuy again.. No problems with this one so far. Best of Luck and call your credit card co.

Well its been 4.5 hours and no report from Racer. Im betting hes in jail and his wife cant pail him out because shes in the cell across the hall.

Never mess with a redneck and his tv.

got me a brand new tv! no drama. when i got there the manager i talked to told me that the manager that works mornings is proof that affirmative action doesn't work. had the geek squad look at it. the guy seemed very surprised that a toshiba broke. said they are the most trouble free unit they sell. toshiba and hitatchi. the manager told me i could have another of the same, or another model (i pay the difference), or i could just have my money back. i got the same one cause when i bought it i could not decide between it and the hitatchi so i flipped a coin. i mean, who am i to mess with fait? they also gave me a $50 dollar gift card since the other manager did not offer to come and pick up the tv and deliver the new one. realy, he did offer to schedule a pick up but, i didnt say anything. again, who am i to mess with fait! it was a inconvenience that the tv broke but, all in all, best buy treated me good. i was invited to come back in the morning and put nots on the other managers head. was told they all would love to see it!

Well looks like I lost that bet.


Only got treated so well cause he walked in wearing a straw cowboy hat, flannel shirt with sleeves cutoff, holey blue jeans, work boots, drinking a Bud and carring a TV.

Yes SIR anything you want. Say you want to hit someone, come back in the morning and we'll hold him for ya.


Great to hear you got it straight and treated well Racer.
