it should still be under manufacture warranty unless you purchased this "as-is", open box or refurbished.
Yea, and I thought about doing it. The only thing is I'm in Japan right now, and shipping this TV back stateside to the manufacturer would cost more time and money than I care to offer up.
there should be in home service in Japan for Samsung products.
if you purchased the tv in the US and brought it to Japan, that might be a problem since in Japan, the replacement parts are for that country, not for the US made tv.
its very difficult for any authorized Samsung service center in Japan to get US replacement parts for that tv.
however, some parts can be replaced on the set without issues concerning the country its from, it depends on what needs to be replaced.
I'll see what I can do. For the time being, I'm just going to get a small set to watch while I finish out my time over here.
I'll take the set to a TV repair shop when I get back stateside, and hope they can figure out what's wrong with it/parts are still available.
Thanks for your help
