Overheating known issue with Digital TV - Sony Malaysia ignores fault
My few years old Sony Bravia 40 inch TV has an overheating t-con circuit board which Sony Malaysia is not interested in replacing I bought Sony because by paying extra we used to get extra reliability extra years of service and the security of a company that supported its customers Since this is obviously not now the case it makes buying Sony to be a stupid decision as it s better to buy another well known but less overpriced brand Remembering of course that Sony purely re-badges Samsung and other brands as its own these days This known overheating fault was as known to Sony which at the time decided not to recall its Bravia range in the same way as they knew my details as a customer via their warranty yet did not contact me These years later my t-con board overheats - but Sony is not interested Malaysian representative Andrew Stephen mailto cic somas at ap sony com wants to collect my TV without charge then charge me for any faulty parts This is amazingly stupid All I am asking Sony for is a replacement t-con board that I can fit myself if they really don t have the expertise in Malaysia to undo 4 screws and use 3 connectors I emailed a list of more than 100 Sony executives to achieve this local Malaysian response Here are the emails latest at the top To Sony Malaysia General Enquiry cic somas at ap sony comSubject Re Home Service Apooinment - KLV-40S400A EA5 1558944 - David ref 00D90XxjZ 500901Or8Au ref Date Tue 27 Sep 2016 09 30 38 0800Hi Andrew In our phone conversation you undertook to supply a replacement board if you could source one and to call me back within about two hours Neither happened If your management has decided that it can fix the problem by taking away my TV and charging me for the parts required to fix what is a known fault in that model your management has a strange idea of what fixing a problem really means outside a third world country like Malaysia Home service does not mean taking away the tv and returning it at some unspecified time in the future with a charge for any parts required This is just plain stupid The problem is an overheating t-con board I currently have the back open and a fan cooling the board - without the fan the board overheats in 15 minutes with the fan the board overheats in about an hour and a half When overheating the picture turns black from the top of the screen downwards and this alone confirms the problem as being in the t-con board It is a simple matter for me to swap the board therefore all I need is a replacement board for me to fit or your technician to come and fit the replacement board As you are obviously intent on continuing to stuff me around and make a bad situation even worse I shall proceed to post your correspondence and your name online along with my story on Trust Pilot and other public review sites as well as re-emailing my dissatisfaction to the same 100 email list as previously RegardsDavid ------------ --------------------------------------------------Sony Malaysia General Enquiry cic somas at ap sony com wrote 26 09 2016 18 58 Dear Mr David Good Evening My current email to you is pertaining to our phone conversation related to your TV repair KLV-40S400A Besides I have tried to contact you numerous times but there is no response from your end Further to that based on your TV symptom reported our management has agreed to arrange a home service to your residence to collect your TV for further inspection without any charges transportation and labour fee will be waived However upon diagnose if there is any parts that is faulty and required to be replaced we will informed you the cost of the parts On the other hand please be informed that we are unable to sell our spare parts to customers or third party as a way of us to maintain the genuine quality of the spare parts as well as to avoid any replica parts We do apologies for the unpleasant experience that you have gone through Looking forward to hear from you soon on this Thank you Regards Yours Sincerely Andrew Stephen

I have a KD-55X75Ch TV
I have a KD-55X75Ch TV It worked fine for about 2 yrs Then out of no place the TV stopped going to the last channel watched when I turned it on Instead it goes to the home screen and I have to click multiple buttons to get it back to regular TV I have spoke to many different tech and C S people at Sony and we have tried everything but nothing has worked so I was told there was nothing they could do A company with good customer services would have said well I can see we have tried everything and we don t know why we can t fix it so the tv must have a defect and here is how we can fix this for you instead I got you are out of luck Nice job Sony now I have to go out and buy another TV but it will not be a Sony and I will never buy Sony again since they don t care about their customers and don t stand by their products And if Sony is reading this and wants to make things right here is my reference 09233089

This company is garbage
This company is garbage They offer BD-RE DL optical media which is blue ray rewritable disks with a capacity of 50Gb and charge a fortune for them What are we in the dark ages Rewriteable optical media is critical for computer data backups The ability to wipe disks or rewrite them for this purpose is critical for backing up personal private data The market for rewritable high capacity optical media is held back by companies like this Rewritable CDs DVDs and BD blue ray have been around for ages and we still have to pay an arm and leg for it I d like to see the market improve with lower cost high capacity rewritable optical media Today s only real option for backing up personal data to prevent computer disasters is hard drives and hard drives love to fail the whole reason for backups
