In Sept 04 I bought a Toshiba 42HP83 plasma. Great picture, nice
unit. In Nov. after about 30 seconds after turn on the picture faded
out to black until unit was on for 30 minutes to 45 minutes. Happened
every time. Finally found a service shop willing to come and look at
it. They pulled it back to shop on Dec 16. After a couple of days
they called back with news that it needed a circuit board and it was
backordered until the end of Jan. After the holidays I called Toshiba
America and made inquiries about the delay. After many calls they
told me they called the factory in Japan and was told they had no
plans to manufacture the part. I had to get RMA and return the unit
to Best Buy. I replaced it with a Samsung DLP unit. Works great.
I wonder whats up with Toshiba not supplying parts for new units?
Seems like a pretty bad business practice.
