I have had this big flat screen TV for 2-1/2 years. I have an extended warranty from Circuit City that has about 3 years to go.
Had one problem with the light box. Covered.
I am now in the third period when it shuts off and immediately starts up again (about 15 second warm-up cycle). Sometimes it does it once or twice a day and sometimes as often as every few minutes (like the past few days).
The first time this happened it lasted about a week, then just stopped doing it. Circuit City won't send their techs out this far in the stix so they subcontract service calls. When the tech finally called it had stopped. He said it was related to low line voltage and there is nothing he could do to prevent it.
I happened again about a year later. Again I called and again it quit before the tech called (about 2 weeks).
Now, about a year after that it is back. I can't even use the TV because it is off almost as much as it is on.
Is this a "normal" behavior for the Grand WEGA sets? Is there something I can do to make my multi-grand$ TV perform properly? Do you think I can insist that Circuit City deal with it?
I have a 300W Sola transformer to regulate power to my 'puter. Would that handle the load of this big TV?
