If they can't fix it, they will instead give you an 8K voucher so you can have an 8k discount for your next tv purchase (which of course, is a Sony).
Same thing happened to an aunt, her old Sony LCD TV conked out (screen was damaged, because something was thrown at it). She bought a 40" WB600 internet TV instead. She's almost 80 so she's not really into internet but she just bought it because I recommended it (for her grandchildren).
