I've tried looking on here but there'seems nothing specific about this particular model, yet the Toshiba forums are full of stories like mine, just wanted some advice really as to shaming Toshiba into doing something.
I bought this TV for my mum back in Dec 2013 from Richer Sounds., it came with a 2yr gtee and for a sub £200 tv I wasn't that bothered cos they last for ages don't they?
Anyway, it's worked perfectly since first switching on, right up until this weekend where all of a sudden, there's sound but no picture. Having read a little about this, upon shining a bright light at the screen, the picture can just be seen,so it would seem the baclight/LED's are at fault.
Tbh I don't care, as I find it appalling that it's developed a fault after such a short period of time, these LED tvs are meant to have a 60-100k hrs life. Even if it had been on permanently on since purchase (not even close), that'd be 26k hrs. Not on.
Anyway, I have previously taken Samsung on regarding a faulty tv and after 4yrs of use, was given £700 back, but cannot find the thread regarding the process to follow - can anyone point me in the right direction/ answers?
Many thanks....
