How did you pay for it? Visa, MC, Amex all have extended warranties for products. Google "credit card warranties" or somthing like that. Should give you all the info you need to make a claim through them and get your t.v fixed for free!

Yup, takes some time, but AMEX has bought me a new laptop before a month out of warranty.

Great suggestion thanks. I looked and my card doesn't have anything like that...just some crap when you're traveling. I'm almost positive it must be the power supply.

If you're electronically inclined and know whats wrong with it, could always order the spare part and do it yourself.

The key is knowing whats wrong...

I'll tell you what I have done a couple of times. If you know where you bought it from and they still sell the same exact model buy another one. Make sure that you can bring it back and get a refund if your not happy with it though. In a couple of days put the old one in the box and return it and get your money back.

I know it sounds kind of frugal, but in a situation like that I would probably do it.

Very rarely do they actually check that, for $9/hr, most employees could care less. If the business owner does the transaction he might be a little bit more inclined to check.

Never had them check a serial number. It seems like they make sure you have the same model in the box.

To me it sounds a lot more like stealing.

It probably is.

Toshiba has had problems with their power supplies for years.

Did you try taking it back to the store you bought it from? They may just swap it out for the same model, especially if it's a big box store. Also, sometimes warranties have a grace period. I know new home warranties in the state of NJ have an unstated grace period of one month. That would be the first thing I would try.

Thanks for the ideas Joel. I bought it from Amazon...so no luck there.
