I had a philips 42inch plasma which developed the flashing green and red light (basically game over)
The online shop i bought it from basically said tough cause my warranty had ran out by 9 monthes and there was nothing more they could do to help.
Contacted philips and told them i wasn't best pleased that a £1300 pound tv had just under a 2 year life span and was then just scrap. They then told me to take it to one of there contracted specialist just to prove i wasn't lying.
Recieved a phone call to say an updated model will be on its way within 2 weeks.
It was a bit more indepth but that was the just of it
