Need to transport a Toshiba 43vs9ua 43" TV....can it be laid down on its screen or back for 3 hours??? And if so what is the standing period prior to turning it on?
If this is a tube type TV it should be transported the same way as a Plasma type. Upright. The reason for this is because if the screen is not supported in the centre and evenly across the whole area of the surface, it may break being made of glass and heavy. I normally transport them face toward the side of the van and up against 2" of foam rubber with tie down straps to keep it steady.
There is no standing time before use however, if the climate is different to the transport, (air conditioned and cool but warm in the room it is put in), it is adviseable to let it reach the same temperature avoidind problems with condensation. This normally takes a couple of hours.
Hope that helps.
When assembling the stand for my Sanyo 32" Flat Screen TV, I inadvertently put the wrong screws into the stand's components. There were two packages of screws, one with three screws and one with four screws, but nothing was included in the instructions as to which screws go where. This resulted in the stand being unstable. Within the first week of owning this tv, it fell over and the screen hit the corner of the table it was sitting on. When I turned the set on, there was an area on the left side of the screen that looked like a jagged streak of lightening and a lot of colored lines running up and down the screen. There is a tiny white spot of light where the point of impact occurred. No damage can be seen when the set is turned off. Is this television destroyed of can it be repaired? Is this something that might be covered by the extended warranty? Where do I take it to have it looked at? So far, I have done nothing but set it on a furniture pad against a wall to protect it from another fall.
