Damaged LCD TV Because of Lightning

[eminem6480]

May feedback na from Sony Service Center - estimate cost:

labor - PhP800
defect LCD part replacement - PhP25500

Grabe! Mas mahal pa yung part replacement sa brand new 40" smart TV. Most probably we will be buying a new one. For the defective tv, may marerecommend pa ba kayong repair center or or mga electrician outside Sony? Just to double check kung sa LCD talaga ang sira.

Thanks!

at that price, i'd get a new unit and sell the defective one for scrap or spare parts.
or you can sweep the internet for used TVs.. these usually sell for considerably less than their brand new brothers.

They are essentially discouraging you from having it repaired and to sway you into purchasing a new one. They introduce new models every few months and maintaining the logistics and inventory of parts for older models costs them a lot of money.

When I was a young techie, I was once part of an in-house service team that fixes dot-matrix, laser and line printers. We did them the old-fashioned way... component level repairs. But in rare cases where the PCB becomes practically unusable (ie. corrosion/rat-piss and vermin damage), we would make recommendations to have the whole system board replaced. One particular board costs P13k in late-90's money. And that was just the buy-price from the principal.

But that's hardly the funny part. At that time, the same printer costs P11k, brand new. Yes.. the system board was inexplicably more expensive than the whole damned printer. :D

you guys think this device will prevent appliance damage due to those potentially destructive power surges?

If you are not buying yet alam ko may trade in promo
they will give you a 8k certificate

Tapos to prevent that from happening again buy a Monster power (power outlet)
retails at 10k kahit kumidlat pa safe na safe ang TV mo
