Toshiba Known defect in the 42HL167 Toshiba TV.. Wayne New Jersey

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! If you have been affected by the defect in the Toshiba 42HL167, 47HL167 or 52 HL167 please email me. The defect I am referring to is not being able to turn on the TV and experiencing the continuous little yellow light in the bottom right hand corner. I bought my TV 10/2007 and just finished paying it off. To my dismay...the TV does not work. After calling Toshiba Customer Service they simply passed it off as being out of warranty and to send it to an Authorized Toshiba Service to get an "evaluation". From the hundreds of blogs I have read, the issue seems to be the Siene Board (75007224 PC board assembly E0361,SEI). The Siene Board ranges from $570-800! I paid $1500 for my defective TV and can not afford to drop another $500-800 when the same TV ranges from $950-1000 now.

Please email me at defectivetoshibatv@yahoo.com if you have experienced this same problem. I would like to know how much you originally paid for the TV, when you bought it, how long after you bought it did you experience the problem and how much it cost you to repair the TV. Please share your story.

Thanks for your comments,
Disappointed in Toshiba
