Zenith - LG Zenith Zenith 50" plasma z50px2d black screen 3 years old Alabama

Zenith z50px2d Plasma had a loud pop.. It now has a black screen. The tv is 3 1/2 years old.. I Paid $2243.54 with a 2 year extended warranty. ( Which is no good now)  After searching the internet i see that the zenith z50x2d plasma is famous for this problem.  This is happening to all of these tv's this same model... Shouldn't there be a recall...   Thats exactly what i asked LG when i called them... They stated that the tv was older then a year and they could not warranty or issue a recall.  This is Crazy i explained to them... The Guy (Sheldon) on the phone told me that this is a very common problem.  After a while he told me that I could get the tv fixed but i would have to pay for the labor.  The labor cost is over $450 ...  I even asked LG to please send me the parts and i  would install.. They refused...   ....   This is the last time that i ever buy anything from LG EVER....    Something should be done about this.
