Here we go again.... GT50 with screen burn...

[strapped for cash]

:cheers: Strapped very helpful.

No worries.

Hopefully that will make the fan noise tolerable.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on. I've no idea how long my TV will be in surgery, so you may well find out before me.

Just had a look strapped and my tv looks fine, as for the hours I haven't looked in the tv menu but I think its around 350-400 hours.

 

[strapped for cash]

Good to know, thanks!

Still not turned up yet! Sometimes I hear the fan, and other times I think they will not hear it though. Just got and wait and see I guess. I see the Samsung plasma is now out of stock at John Lewis, I hope I don't have to choose a different one.

The guy has just gone and the result is I am getting new fans! :clap: Pretty pleased to be honest, he said they were quite loud and should be able to do it by next Monday. He also said that he would come and do it here, so I am all sorted. Result!

Nice! Are they going to carry out the other foam fix to help with fan noise too gel?

He just mentioned changing the fans, so I don't think so. He seemed to think changing them would do the trick, I will have to ask if it doesn't. :cheers:

Still a good result though eh but I would have thought it would be pretty easy to install the foam fix at the same time as the fans are coming out, fingers crossed the new fans solve the noise issue though.

Nice one gel, lets hope that sorts the problem, who did you contact to get someone out.

:cheers: I contacted John Lewis who then arranged for this guy to come out from a company. He was really good and understood the issue well.

 

[beater]

Ok thanks, I got mine from Richer Sounds so I will give them a ring.

Thanks @gel

Sadly I've been away all weekend, but I did have an email from JL on Friday and the goalposts have moved... In my direction!

i will know more tomorrow...

 

[MrW]

Oh dear, 1 step forward, and 2 steps back

Now struggling to get a NKU price match, I'm being quoted that the store that I would like to price match with needs to be within the same distance as my local JL..

Total Digital are some way outside that scope!

Think it's a case of NKU gone mad, and I've pointed out that JL have a store in Birmingham, plus I can buy from wherever I want to!

Let's see what happens eh?

Ah dear! :wall:

I am getting my fans fitted this afternoon on a brighter note. :clap:

 

[MrW]

Good news gel!

I flirted with a VT65, but decided in the end that I wanted to try and get a TV didn't potentially have issues in the coming months (DSE/Fan noise etc)

At this rate, I'll probably end up with a 2014 TV though!

 

[beater]

Let us know the the outcome gel.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Will do.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I have just had the foam fix done! Wasn't expecting that, I will report back the results.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

The foam fix is two little black strips that go in between the fan and the casing of the TV. This stops it from reving up when turning it off and on and leaves it quiet when on! Result! :cheer: Very happy. I was expecting new fans instead just got the foam fix, it is sorted anyway. :clap:

 

[beater]

Nice one, happy days, I will have to get someone out to look at mine. :cheers:
