Its why I now only buy a TV if it comes with 5 yrs warranty..... like you get with John Lewis or Richer sounds. After 5 yrs I'm not bothered how much longer it lasts, because I'm looking to upgrade then anyway.
The trouble with this SOG and items that should last a reasonable time, is that the retailer can put all sorts of hurdles in your way, to the point that its more time & hassle than its worth pursuing it.
If it were me, I would cut my losses and buy another TV, but only one with 5 yrs guarantee.”

I've got two Samsung......First one is coming into it's 9th year of stalwart service without a blink. Second one is into it's 4th year.....When replacing I'll look at Samsung again first based on the reliability I've experienced (Several other Samsung sets in the family with no problems).
As to the OP's set, I would be interested what was going to cost £800 to fix?
Anyhows.....OP Try this
