sotsira Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If it's a tube type tv, then i had a similar problem with a Samsung too and couldn't get it repaired. Samsung service centre is your best bet opposite Tesco on the Suk. They will send out an engineer to asses the problem, but in my case they didn't have the spare parts to fix it, and only 4yrs old. Never bought a sumsung product since and never will again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotsira Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What type of tv is it ? Plasma, LCD, conventional tube ? Like i said before go to Samsung service centre and see what they say. They'll need the model & serial no's on the back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bought a sumsung product since and never will again. As mentioned elsewhere I also had a problem with a Samsung LCD TV, 3 years old - had the parts (the screen), but at 30,000 baht it was cheaper to buy a new LED Samsung TV. As sotsira said, they not only need the model number, but the serial number too (and there's no charge for the engineer's visit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it "repaired" by Nunmchai on Sukumvit Road but the problem reoccurred soon after. Threw away the TV and said i would never buy Samsung again. With the price of TVs now it is not worth the cost of repairing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I had a similar problem with a Samsung TV although it went red instead of black, took it to Samsung when they were beside BPH, 1 day later picked it up - cost 500 Baht, and still working perfectly, great service from Samsung. But for the OP, if you have tried another TV and ended up with the same problem then i suspect yours is an electrical or signal supply issue??

sotsira Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 With my 4yr old Samsung tube tv, the engineer told me that they have had many problems like you have described so it's likely that the other one you substituted has the same problem. Problem is they didn't have any more replacement parts to repair it, so it's a scrap job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they didn't have any more replacement parts to repair it, so it's a scrap job. as far as i can see it is one only problem no, actually it is half a problem hehe thanks i know how silly this is going to sound but in thailand where people are not so well off dont they keep old things for parts around to repair those they have sigh Edited August 10, 2012 by deejah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejah Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 the mystery unfolds when i open the laptop the tv acts up when i close the old acer laptop it stops AND it may not just be from my computer it may be when someone else uses in the building interesting to say the least any ideas? wireless issues? <deleted> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattEarp Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Some years ago we had a problem with one of those huge pre-lcd pre-plasma backlit projection TV's so we called a well-known Pattaya company to come and fix it. As it was too heavy and delicate to move, a truckload of Thai guys came to our house. Two of the guys went to work on the TV, the rest had a good nose around our living room. After they left we noticed a missing Sony handycam, one of those small video cameras that cost a fortune at the time. We didn't notice until they were gone and by then it was futile to do anything about it as we couldn't prove anything. The lesson learned is, before inviting repair people into the house, hide anything small/valuable and try to herd the people into a small group where they're supposed to be.
