This Is Really Funny You Mention the TV comparsion , as I just had a Run in with a TV repair Crew sort of Speak , The Short Version , I have Been Using Extended Warranty's on Applinances , that I didn't have Time for and or didn't what to Fix Myself , as Far as, TV's go I haven't Fixed On since I had to go to a Harware Store and Buy a Tube for $2.50 and Plug It in the Back of the My Dads Set ! Anyway I had this extended Warranty and 10 days after I bought It Bam , Light Out No Boob Tube , We had an Ice Storm , and Power surges. I called It In and a Three Days Later the Warranty Repair Guy , calls me on the Phone and ask a Few ?s Like waht's wrong and When did this happen etc. - Bam He says this Must have Been Pre-exiting and I will Need to Charge You to come Out , and then the Warranty will Kick In - Hello KIck In , I just Paid Like $385.00 for a Three Yr. Plan . Then This Air Head says So Will I Get Paid When I get There , Paid When You Get Here , I already Paid and You haven't been Here Yet , so How Can You say It was Pre-existing , On an On , I called their Boss and the Under writers and Everybody , What a Pain in the jerk Three Hrs. and No where I took the Time Off , to let them in the House - I Swear I was going to take the Bastards to Court ! So, This Big Wig Mrg. calls Me the next day and apploizes and all that BS , and says He won't be able to Honor Our agreement , says once before We had a Service Call on a Product that had a warranty on It , Well Isn't That the Idea Buddy ! So I Get a Full Refund and Two Weeks go by , I deside to say what the Hell I'll Pull this Baby apart and see what makes it Tick ! 5 yr. Old JVC 32" Table Top , as the Best Quote I got was $115.00 plus Parts just to solder them in ! I did some research and I found a Blog Just Like a Volvo Blog TV repair Guys talking about repairing TV Sets ! My Model was on the site , I read about Issues with the set and It sounded , like what My set did, so I went to Radio Shake got $1.69 Cent Capacitor Heated up the Old one removed It and Solder in the New One , something I have never done before. IT WAS EASY A FARMER WITH FAT FINGERS COULD HAVE DONE IT - COST ME $ 6.95 Total as I needed Silver Solder .018 wire - It Works Great , They even inform readers where to find the bad parts ! Savings $379.00 and I had My Credit Card Company Debit it out of their Bank On Top Of the Refund Just to put them thou some HELL , TWICE ! EngTech
