Need help. Found out that my Samsung LCDTV model LA32R71B went kaput.

Send it to Samsung Service Centre and was quoted RM1,656.40 for the LCD Panel and RM100.00 for labour.

Is there any cheaper option.????

No more warranty?

Unfortunately, no if it is the panel that gave way. Time for a new LCD TV

Wah! RM1.7k to change the LCD panel, you're better off buying a new set considering 32" nowadays quite cheap liao

total RM1756 for repair....

buy new one cheaper....

there is no warranty on the LCD panel, or the warranty expired?

ALthough its fun to buy a new model, it does feel kinda sucks when you hear that these high tech stuff can barely last 5yrs, when CRT's lasted 10yrs with ease....

the R71 series...abt 3 years old?

No more warranty. Yes, its just about 3 years.

HOW????

RM 1.7k to repair

bro, buy a new one better lar
with that price can get a brand new 32" oredi
somemore with 1 year warranty
u change the LCD panel also won't grant u 1 year warranty

What happened? Were you unable to switch on or? I have that same exact model as well...

if the service center says changing the LCD panel is a must, I guess there's not much choice.....but to junk the thing and get a new one......would suggest not to get a samsung again...

i had problem with the R7 series as well.

RM1.6K for the LCD panel is cheap bro...my 15inch HP business laptop panel cost Rm2K.
Anyway..money is money..sure hurt one.

How can LCD go kaput?....is it the LCD itself, or PCB or the harness.....most service centers have Changineers...they only know how to change stuff...try sending it to those electronic/electrical shops that specialize in repairing TV and stuff...its probably due to a burned out component which is easily replaceable....pray hard!!

When Manufacturers design a product, they are sure to add some parts which will die after a while. This is how they control the market.

Good luck bro

Yelor, maybe some guys in jalan pasar can fix it.

Anyway, this confirms my fears about korean products. But my Citra still OK after 3 years ... eee

Aiseh....your Citra is not a Korean thoroughbreed liao. It's a hybrid, with bolehland teknologi You see first generation Proton still on the road now right?

wouldn't that be worse.?

I mean 70% (cos korean design compared to jap) ) x 70% (cos made in malaysia instead of CBU korea/jap) = 49% rite?

If you put it that way

dun be like that guys...most of us got Korean branded stuff in our homes and we wouldn't want it to break.

murphy's law..

ask the Dvico owner who owns also Samsung slimfit.. double whammy...

i don't think i have any korean stuff
