Zenith P42W34 42 16:9 EDTV Plasma Flat-Panel TV
Same Problem. Bright Digital Stars!!! TV was already fixed for this same problem and is doing it all over again
After about 2 months of using this 42\\" Plasma the entire left side of inputs failed, and all the other inputs were working with the same distiortion everyone else has stated they had, as well as, audio noise like hissing. Called Zenith and they stated they were going to send such and such company out which they did indeed do. However, when the local tv repairman came out he stated right away \\"Another Zenith plasma problem!!!\\". I went to ask was it the same type of problem with this specific tv, and he immediately stated yes, and that he had fixed 4 or 5 already before mine. He stated that everytime Zenith has told him to replace the inputs and do such and such to the video board. He further went to state he could guarantee me that he would be back again, and again for this same problem as it never seems to fix the problem permanently just for a few months. He left stating he had to wait to receive the part and would come back within the next 4-5 days. 3 weeks later he arrives back (after 3 phone calls to him, and 2 to Zenith who was refusing to pay him for a second trip which was why he never came back before and never let us know untuil we actually spoke to him ourselves) and repairs the video problem, but the audio problem persists, and he leaves to return again. He come sback just a few days later, and fixes the audio hissing. There's more... <br /> <br />3 months later (right now 11/25/05) Bright stars flashing across the screen no matter what input being used, and has been going on for about 4 days non-stop on DVDs, DirecTv, anything and everything has the bright digital stars flashing across the screen. NO HELP AT ALL FROM ZENITH AS OF YET FOR THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM YET AGAIN!!!!!!!
