I just bought my Toshiba REGZA Lcd tv,it comes with only 2 years warranty.i think 2 years was not enough for the lcd,so i call to Toshiba Custom Services that i need to buy extend warranty but they didnot have such extend warranty.Any forumer here where n how to buy the 3rd year extend warranty?

I guess Toshiba does not offer extended Warranty as far as concerned..

thats why i ask whether got any third party insurance from those insurance company in Malaysia ?

I think you could try to contact any of the insurance agent and find out from them. I know they do cover for theft and lightning but not sure about the warranty extension.

In that case you should consult third party insurance company.

You can check all the local insurance websites..

2 years is quite sufficient. If there's any manufacturing defects, you should be able to detect it within the first year of usage.

I had owned a couple LCD and Plasma for about 3 years. Works fine. Only came with 1 yr warranty

Even though I have a 5yr warranty + 1yr insurance that comes with my new plasma set. I doubt that the warranty/insurance will cover wear and tear (if any).

Don't worry too much about it, just enjoy the new TV

some manufacture like sony offer extended warranty but not from sony. sony only offer 2 years warranty, additional warranty covers by third party (i forgot the company name) offers up to additional 3 years with certain amount of premium.

If u buy from SenQ or SEC penang u can ask for extra warranty but come with a small fees n SEC penang even offer one for one exchange if break down n that also come with a small amount of fees.

I just came back from Sony centre and asked for extended warranty. For 40" 2+3 years is additional RM300 and 46" is RM500.

Not cheap eh...

Extended warranty is a crock. Google a weeeee bit n read up about why it's not worth it.

Yes it's not cheap. A close friend of mine having some problem with his LCD recently.
Gave the service center a call and their diagnose the tuner is faulty. Need to replace the whole board.
Cost??? RM1.2K.. and the set is barely 3 years. Soo paying 300 now or 1.2K later.. you decide.

I just went to Tan Boon Ming in Cheras, Toshiba Regza 46RV600E has extended warranty up to 5 years. You may check with Tan Boon Ming how to obtain another 2-3 years..

thanks for the reply from u all forumer here,i already ask the sales assitant of the shop i bought the lcd about the third party insurance ,they will let me know the premium for the extend warranty later.

Bravo, you got your solution at last, let us all know whats the outcome is , cause i planned to get Toshiba LCD as well in short period of time..

All the best

I thought it's extended warranty from Sony? Else why it's called Sony Extended Warranty? As what I understand, the Sony product under SEW will be repaired by Sony authorised service centre.

i think in 2 years you'll be wanting a new tv. i know i do after 2 years. So why worry about it. i'd say 1 year is sufficient. After 2 years, sell it and upgrade while u still can. At the pace of technology is going, 2-3 years is as far as we can go.

Just my opinion by the way.

anyone care to elaborate on this here other than 'google it'.

3rd party insurance company only cover for theft,lightning,flood, or damage by natural disaster. For ur point of view, i think u r looking for coverage for repairing if incase there is a breakdown for ur lcd tv rgt? In tht case the insurance company wont cover for that.

The little things that are often taken for granted. Given that you already have a 2yr warranty, don't forget to invest in a decent surge protector. Though, insurance may cover it. It'll be a pain to make the claim including the wait time.

At one time in a rented apartment, I had both my TV and Vaio fried! Even if the power is off as long as you're plugged in, the surge will cook your appliances.

Read the papers today, heads up lighting season is upon us

Get it if you don't have one already.
