Bought a 32 inch elememt television 5 months ago stopped working november 22,2015 before the big game. Past 90 day warranty. Are there any recalls on element televisions

Blue screen means either no signal (if unit has rear connections hook a DVD etc to one and go to that input and see if it works) Or the blue may mean set is in shutdown----5 months old and it should still have a warranty?

I hope this helps you. If you just bought it less than 7 months ago. this is the route to go.

I'm running into the exact same problem with mine. I bought mine in November of 08 and it looks horrible. I got on the phone with Samsung 3 months ago and the follow up from this company is regrettably horrific. I've spoken to 8 different people including that of the special assistance team to no avail. Its a shame that we have to deal with this and its even more shameful to think that Samsung has the ability to fix it however they choose not to. For the amount of money it will take to fix this I might as well buy a new tv! Disgraceful and Samsung should be ashamed. I know that the 720P is on the warranty list, why isn't ours?

Fixable - probably.
It is worth it - no.
Is it not under warranty?

Try shinning a flashlight into the screen to see if the picture is still visible or not. If its still there the back light is the problem.

New products do fail. The set should certainly be under warranty. I would speak to the dealer you purchased the unit from and see what they suggest. Don't remove the rear cover, or do anything else to give anyone a reason to void your warranty. Most brands are 90 days on parts and labor.

It sounds to me that the Main board is causing the problem. But I would get in touch with Toshiba for a warranty repair. It has a one year parts and labor warranty. It makes it a lot cheaper for the pocket.
Good Luck,

Hi am Vortash your set only being 7 months old is still under manufactures guarantee and it would be unwise to remove any panels or seals as this would invalidate the warranty .My advice is to contact a service engineer and have the set professionally looked at otherwise it could cost you an awful lot to put it right after wards .. .. The components in an LCD set are surface mounted and it takes special equipment to solder new components in or take them out .. Some of the component boards are multi layered and require anti static protection during service .. one wrong connection can damage multiple systems in the unit .. Regards Vortash

your optical block requiers replacing.not a cheap job.around £600.00

I had a pwer supply for my Protron 32 inch TV that was not working. I bought the one on ebay and it stopped working after only three weeks. Ultimately I found a guy who could fix my original power supply for a reasonable price. It been working for a year now with no problems. I wish I would have tried him first!!!!
