What to do about a busted Tv?
Boom
Answer:
MAN ! I just had a customer whose KID threw a magnet at their LCD screen after only owning it for 1 WEEK !!
You've covered your bases..and unfortunately short of crowning your kid with it..it's worthless..
And no...don't crown your kid with it. Just lock the bedroom door so he can't play in there.Then keep all your valuables you don't want him touching inside.
when in doubt. throw it out.,
try buying just the screen. it'll be hard to find one , but im sure there's one out there.
Ouch, sounds like your bedroom will no longer have a tv. The warranty coverage should be two tiered: One for components and the second for accidental. They charge enough for those extended warranties.
get legal advice to see if you are being screwed with.
are u sure it can't be repaired? i know someone had a crack in their laptop screen and had it replaced.
I'm sory to be the bearer of bad news, but your 2 year old BROKE the tv. If you had bought a waterford crystal vase at a fine jewelry store and your two year old dropped it or threw a ball that knocked it off the table and shattered it, would you sweep up the pieces and take it back to the store?
Your homeowners insurance SHOULD pay for the replacement, as it was an accident. You must have a really crappy insurance company. Since you filed it, even though it was denied, the claim will still show up on your claims history, so at this point there is no downside in appealing or contesting the ruling. I would get your policy out and check it for coverages so you know exactly what provision you are trying to use to get them to pay for the replacement.
Try teaching the two year old that ball throwing belongs outside, not inside.
Your spoiled brat just costed you $1100, I just wish I had been there when you tried to get money back from the store, I can't believe you actually did that. I bet it was hilarious. Just be happy knowing you're one more story those guys at the service desk will use when they wanna make someone laugh.
Of COURSE the store isn't going to take it back - it's not their fault that your child broke it, so why should they be out the money for your child's negligence? Frankly, I'm rather appalled that you even TRIED that route. If they had taken it back, it would be rather like stealing, the cost of which is passed on to other consumers.
I'm not sure why your homeowner's insurance won't pick up on this - you might call them again. It really depends on what the caveats and exclusions are.
Go back to you"re home owners insurance policy. If it covers
accidental property damage, call them back and discuss it with them. If they still don't agree and can't show you reasonable proof why they can't help, talk to an attorney. For a small fee, he will tell you if you have a case or not. I f you do, have him wright them a letter on you're behalf. This service will cost you around $50 to $100. Other wise just toss the set, and remember,sometimes life throws you a curve ball when you least expect it . (pun intended).
sounds like your your insurance company is screwing you to me. If they don't want to pay how do you know it won't be the same thing next time something happens
and by the way what is your deductable
Unfortunately they cant warranty a unit if it was your fault, it wasnt a manufacturer defect.
This is exactly what happens with these lowend units.
The LCD display cost over 75% of the unit cost.
Either find another one just like it, with bad electonics but a good display and take it to a tv shop to get it swapped out.
Thats what I suggest.
How did you buy the set? Did you use a credit card? Some credit cards cover this!
American Express calls it the "Purchase Protection Plan" : Just use your Card and the Purchase Protection Plan protects eligible purchases against accidental damage or theft for up to 90 days from the date of purchase.
Check with your credit card company!
You didn't miss anything. You (or your offspring) broke the TV, and the part you broke is uneconomical to replace. If your homeowners won't pay for it, then you're screwed. Don't expect too much help from the warranty people or the manufacturer. How can you expect them to stay in business if everytime someone's idiot child breaks something, they have to eat the replacement cost.
Do the letters "S. O. L." mean anything to you?
