My LG 42" Plasma TV failed within a couple years of purchase because of a board failure. LG won't warranty repair TVs over a year old. Well, someone filed a class action against LG in the New Jersey federal court (Newark) for defective LCD and Plasma TVs. I found the information when I googled "LG class action."
Less than 3 years old and a circuit board went out. Television repair shop called me to tell me that the board was $380.00 which was more than I paid for the television. I contacted LG and they just blew me off telling me that the television was out of warranty. Well if it is only going to last less than 3 years, I will NEVER purchased anything in the future with the LG name on it. Companies today don't have a clue on how to keep their customers happy.
I was very surprised that the power source could go bad on a LG TV I bought in 2005 that was a bedroom TV with minimal use. I purchased two LG's at the same time and the other one gets primary use and is fine. LG customer service tech that I had online contact with was not at all helpful. It seemed almost as if he was not interested in helping from the time I got into the chat room.
I purchased my LG TV in March 2009. August of 2009 it quit working, I have now been dealing with them for 5 weeks as of this post with no resolution. They will not replace the TV because it may be repairable and I do not live in an area where a close tech is available. I would not recommend anyone buying anything from this company because if it breaks you will have a time getting anything done.
