Sony LCD TV Recall

[chudleighpaul]

Just heard on the news that Sony are recalling 1.5 million LCD TVs because of a smoking problem.

I have done a search but am unable to find out which models are affected.

Can the What HIFI staff help with info?

 

[Andrew Everard]

Nothing we've been told about. Will get sniffing!

Thanks Andrew, I am concerned as I have 2 Sony LCD TVs a 46" nad a 40".

News suggests mostly 2007/8 models for domestic Japanese market, but obv need to wait for official response. Hope it's not mine!

And though incidents happened in Japan, models affected mainly sold in Europe and US

News story now online here - we'll work on getting a specific customer-service contact number from Sony for this issue, too.

Not that i've seen so far, no....

 

[Andrew Everard]

...Or maybe not a recall at all, after all...

I'm surprised they've bothered to recall them

I bought one of those models, and it had a clouding issue from the backlight

I brought it back to be told it was within their specifications...bye bye we don't want to know

For such a big company they have the worst customer service I've ever seen. I got a refund by digging my heels in.

You're house potentially burning to the ground must be outside their specifications.... thus the recall.

I feel bad for you if you have one

Panasonic TV's are the way ahead
