So I wake up this morning to find that after owning this TV for about SIX MONTHS the bulb went out. After spending about 2 hours on the phone with Circuit Shi$$y I finally am able to get the number of the guy they contact repairs to in the area.....Only to make an appointment about 4 days from now.....I am really hoping it is something that totals out the TV, because the replacement value on it through the "protection plan" is $2400, and I paid $1100.....That would be nice. Damn DLP.:mad: :(
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Just a few questions if I could, I know little more then Jack about DLP.
My believe is that the bulb needs to cool off when the set is turn off, (there's a small fan that runs when first off) so my questions is do you have power issues at your house? Brown outs or Black outs?
If its just the bulb that went out, they should be able to replace that for a couple hundred bucks.
Yeah.:confused:Quote:

Was it a Samsung? My friends bulb went out after 4 weeks.
My buddy has a Toshiba that is less than a year old and the same thing happened. He called Toshiba; they said it was a common problem for DLP's (lasts 200 hours or so). They sent a replacement and he fixed it in 10 minutes. Good thing he bought the extended warranty!!!!

I only paid $1100 for my 50" DLP, and she told me I would receive a credit of about $2400, because they base it on the original price of the TV ($2700) not the clearance price I paid....I would love for this thing to be dead so I could upgrade to 1080P...We will see what pans out...Life is boring around here with no TV or video games though..:(
MY Sony LCD did the same thing, after about 4 months though. I presented the Sony Rep with the receipt and they replaced it for free.
Nice...I am hoping this will happen in a timely fashion....Really sucks not having a TV in the house.....
for some reason, a lot of companies original bulbs don't last long at all. JVC is the worst!
Going on 48 hours with no contact from the repair shop......:mad: :(
Looks like I might need to break out the a$$hole a little early today.
