Damn dude, that sucks.

(Though I can't help but mention that my primary credit card automatically extends manufacturer warranties for an extra year...)

EDIT: Heh...I see I wasn't even the first to go down that road. Oh well.

Don't care about your credit card and since I don't use them, I have plenty of cash in which I can buy another and pay for it while you pay for yours 3 times on your credit card....

Better known as a Raider fan.

As I've mentioned multiple times, I never carry balances on my credit cards, so that statement's simply false. Regardless, I'm not in the mood to get into this again, so good luck in finding a new TV.

You forgot to mention his oversized vagina from all those years in prison while being hosed with 45 pound weight bars as his family watched and cheered.

If I were up to my ass in debt, I would run from the problem too, that will make it go away

I still don't have any idea where you got this idea that I'm in debt.

For what it's worth:

I went to a Sanyo consumer complaint site. Apparently, the problem you have is very common to Sanyo TVs. One person called it a panel board problem, another called it a PCB board problem, and others left it unnamed.

It generally seemed to run $200-$250 to fix, with no promise that it won't happen again.

Thanks for the info.....

What would you do? Buy a new one or fix the old one?

Think of the $250 as rental money. Would you pay $250 to rent that TV for 1-3 years? The way advances are happening in televisions today, that's a call that can go either way, IMO.

Which one does that manufacturer warranty thing?

Quite a few do it I think, but the one I currently use the most is a Discover Escape card. It also saved my ass recently because they automatically give you the Collision Damage Waiver insurance that car rental companies try and get you to buy. I hate those things, but took a rock to the windshield on a business trip.

I hate that hard sell shit you have to go through when you rent a car. My company uses National, thankfully, we "skip the counter" all the time and don't deal with that crap. I think our contract with National has us protected from those types of accidents. But when we have to use another service, I usually just say yes, whatever, give me whatever you want and let me get the hell out of this airport.

I thought all credit cards automatically gave you rental car insurance like that, almost every article I've read praising credit cards lists the rental car insurance as a reason. But the asshole at Enterprise or whatever one time told me my credit card didn't cover anything. I felt like he was lying to me there, but I just bought the insurance anyway to get the hell out of there.
