[Resolved] Toshiba India — Faulty LCD TV | |
10 Days!! Still awaiting reply / action ! Is this the way a world renowned professional company like TOSHIBA deals with its customer's! IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA & you are proving it right! Dear Toshiba, Kindly go thru the following: After comparing Sony, Samsung & Toshiba, I bought TOSHIBA REGZA 32AV600E 32 Inch LCD TV & the same was installed at my place in Dec.2009. Since its installation on the very first day, I noticed that its resolution was not good. I adjusted its backlight, contrast, brightness etc. but of no use. Whatever adjustments I made, the picture quality was never improved. It had following problems: 1. The picture quality is very dull. Even with full contrast / brightness 2. The image is disported. 3. One feels strain while watching program. It's like moving images leave a trail behind them. 4 Colors feels like they bleed . 5. It feels like the screen is very dirty or if you are watching a very low quality pirated DVD or program. 6. It use to switch off automatically, without timer & later switched off permanently. I had bought the TV from Mr. Sanjay Thapar of M/s Sanjay Enterprises Mumbai, which he had purchased from M/s Vijay Sales, Mumbai. After receiving the same I noticed that there was no protective seal on the screen & on the panel. The screen looked like that it had been wiped / cleaned with a cloth. Moreover it had few scratches on lower portion of the panel & deep scratches on the bottom of the panel where the TV stand is inserted, clearly showing the same has been used. Even the serial No. on the warranty card provided didn't match with the serial No. printed on the TV. There was no doubt that it was a used TV & the same was cleaned, repacked & dispatched to me. I reported the matter to Mr. Sanjay & he, being a friend assured me that the TV is new, I accepted it on good faith. It was only when it started giving trouble of switching off during the program, I forwarded the complaint & was attended by Engineer Mr. Mahipal from Toshiba Chandigarh & Mr. Rattan (Service Centre incharge, Toshiba, North India) on 21-02-10. Mr. Rattan, from Toshiba service centre (which I didn't knew earlier) took the lead of attending the complaint & do the talking. I thought if he is the engineer from Toshiba, Chandigarh. After lots of listening / talking & the adjustment done by other person Mr. Mahipal (engineer from Toshiba) whom he never introduce, it was declared thet the LCD TV's reception is like this only. I was shocked to hear that. We have Samsung LCD in our family & its performance is far far better than Toshiba. Still, I played a genuine DVD for there viewing so that they could see & compare the quality but of no use. When I asked him that even simple flat CRT TV has very good performance in comparison to Toshiba LCD, he said it is due to the single picture tube they carry (very strange answer). Any how, when I played the same DVD on my Flat Slim CRT TV, the picture quality was very lively & brilliant. Again I asked Mr. Rattan about the comparison & he repeated the same answer that performance of CRT Flat TV (aspect ratio 4:3, 480p) is far better than LCD TV (aspect ratio 16:9, 1080p). Then why people buy LCD TV's. This time I sincerely doubted his capability & asked him if he really is the engineer from Toshiba & then only I was told that he is the service center incharge & other person Mr. Mahipal is the one from Toshiba. Finally Mr. Rattan gave his verdict with utmost authority that there is no problem with the TV & every TV brand has its own set of performance & of Toshiba LCD TV is like this only. I couldn't bear any more. I simply thanked them for there kind visit & felt sorry that I bothered them. Actually I had forgot that I am still living in India & here if some thing is sold to you it's done, HAVE IT or LEAVE IT. Anyhow, before leaving as Mr. Mahipal was filling some complaint report, I asked him for his views as he was the engineer & had kept quite since, he admitted that there is definitely a problem with the TV's contrast & brightness & would forward the complaint to higher authorities. Mr. Rattan face was plain & he had no answer to Mr. Mahipal's observations. It was looking like Mr.Rattan had come merely to attend the complaint as a formality & nothing else. He never let the Engineer Mr. Mahipal speak. Mr.Mahipal was sitting like a mute spectator fumbling with the remote. That's all. After Filling the form he asked me to sign it along with the any views which I like to put in. He told me that one copy he'll forward to the concern authorities, one copy is for me & 3rd copy is for there record. I put the remarks & signed it. 4-5 minutes after they left, I rembered that they never provided me the complaint copy. I called Mr. Rattan for the same but was told that complaintent doesn't need to have the copy & all the copies are for the Toshiba people only. Very contradictory answer! Any how, I was disappointed earlier also but never thought of writing / complaining, but this time I am highly disappointed after the visit of the designated people from Toshiba. It feels like if I had purchased some cheap Chinese toy from the road side vendor & went complaing after few days. I DEFINITELY FEEL CHEATED.

First and foremost new sealed pack LCD when removed had a scratch on the chassis but Mr. Vivek Mahajan being a good friend did not mincing words and accepted it as it is for which I thank him 2. Then after few days the LCD started getting switched off during a program and had to be manually switch on which was a pain every time 3. Now since yesterday it had switched off permanently not to restart again. 4. All the money has gone waste he feels and is not at all happy after receiving TOSHIBA 32AV600E touted by Toshiba as an advance LCD panel..?? 5.

Dear Sir,
I purchased Toshiba LCD T.V.32AV800 Model from the dealer/shop Vijay Sales, Ghodbunder Branch.
After using it for 10 months, it developed white vertical lines across the screen which is also spoiling my eyes..When i complained, I was told that over & above the service charges no extra charges will be applicable for the spares.Accordingly, person was sent to see the T.V. receipt no.& date.During the visit he again spoke to his senior & reconfirmed with his senior on the phone that the parts won't be charged.Subsequently, another engineer was sent who told the parts would be charged as against the previous statements made by the service engineers who had told that if you produce the bill you will not be charged because of which I ran around for the duplicate bill for a week.But, later on, I was informed the part itself(ie. the display panel unit) which had got spoilt is not available in the market at present.I was given an alternative solution- would I be ready to accept a 70% cash-back policy against the defective piece since the model got spoilt within a year! Since it obviously has manufacturing defects, as it developed problems within 1 year, which is not expected of a product of a reputed company like yours, I expect at least a 75-80% cash-back valuation.In these times of inflation, it will be clearly difficult/impossible to get a new T.V. at the valuation being provided to me.Please consider this.Expecting a reply soon with reference to this & immediate action to be taken in this regard.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Priyadarshini Mallik.

I had purchased Toshiba LCD Model 32PB21ZE from Vijay Sales, Mira Road (E), Dist : Thane, in March 2012, the TV was working alright except poor picture quality, blur image, etc. Last week I switched on the set and was astonished to find that there is no picture coming on the screen but only few lines (like cracks) appearing from inside. I informed their call centre and they sent their technician from the franchisee who is handling the area. He opened the set and again took some pictures and went away saying that they will be calling me within couple of days and inform about further action. I got a call after two days saying that the part to be replaced is chargeable, i.e. the panel is damaged and it will cost the same as the cost of new TV set. Even though the TV is under three years warranty and now it is only one year. The technicians and franchicee expressed their helplessness in replacing the panel. I bought the same for about Rs.25000/- (approx.) and now within a year it is showing internal damage and the service centre (which is all outsourced to private players) wants to mint money for their mistake. Hope Toshiba will take this seriously and get the part replaced at the earliest. Pls reply at [protected]@yahoo.com

Dear All,
I have purchased Toshiba LED 39 inch on May 2nd and product was bad out of box having 4 cloud like spots on it. Toshiba rep has visited home for verification and accepted the same fault and took pictures of TV. I have communicated same to Toshiba support taking picture explaining same. Toshiba communicated they will send another technical person to look at problem. For twenty days no response from Toshiba or it dealer to support the matter. On 21 day I have received a call from a person calming Toshiba courier want to visit home to deliver home but no mention of details like time etc. I called Bangalore Toshiba service to know more details about courier and representative told they will come back with full details and never came back and TV was not delivered, I try contacting Toshiba support in Bangalore after two days but proper response expect we will you call you back While this episode continue one month past without any proactive help from Toshiba.
I have written a mail to head office after a month explaining whole story and received a call telling they will upgrade with better model without any extra fee and model shown to me was much inferior to which I have bought and I politely rejected the offer.
Toshiba trying to fool the customer and don't even care to talk to customer immediately when the problem arises unless you escalate to main office. But regardless they don't fix the issue and try to manage the customer to make his mouth shut.
I have a feeling all failed LED are thrown at our country.
Bottom line, don't trust their 3 warranty and don't waste your time. This is just mental torture for a month spending on phone and emails. This is horrible service and don't trust Toshiba in India as Internationally they may be good due to respective country policies. I am just waiting for refund from vendor (snapdeal ) as vendor promised to process refund as per their policies.

Toshiba 32" LCD TV — Non-compliance of Guarantee
I, Prashant Gupta, R/O B-2/43D, Lawrence Road, Near Keshavpuram Police Station, New Delhi-110035 purchased a LCD TV Model 32AV500 on 8/12/08 for Rs 36,500/- from M/s Better Deals, B-3, B-1 Block Community Centre, Janakpuri, New Delhi-110058 vide Book No. 245 Serial No. 12231 dated 19.10.2008.The front panel of the said LCD TV developed a black spot (at right hand bottom side) in the month of August 2009. On 17.08.2009, I lodged a complaint on phone at Toshiba service centre (telephone no. [protected], [protected]). The complaint number given to me was 0817020. After 2-3 reminders, 6-7 days of the complaint a service engineer from your side approached us and checked the LCD TV by pressing the black spot on the front panel of the LCD TV. He told us that there is some technical problem in the LCD TV and he will have to come again to take some photograph of the same and send to his seniors. He again approached us in 2 to 3 days and disassembled the LCD TV and took photograph of the front panel from inside. 2 to 3 days later he again approached us and told that he needs some more photographs and again disassembled the LCD TV and took photographs and went back. He told that it will take a week for them to get the front panel replaced.
In September 2009, when I called the service centre I was told to contact Mr. Govindan at Mumbai (telephone no. [protected]) for further enquiry. When I called Mr. Govindan he told that the front panel is on its way from Singapore from DHL courier and the same shall be replaced within 3-4 days which never happened. In the meanwhile another back spot appeared besides the earlier one. I again contacted Mr. Govindan and I was given another date.
Later one day I received a call from the service centre that as per the report from Singapore the front panel cannot be replaced since it is physically damaged and I was told to talk to Mr. Govindan for further queries, if any. When I contacted Mr. Govindan he narrated the same.
This is to be noted that the LCD TV is placed very safely in our apartment. There is no physical damage mark on the front panel. No one, other than your service engineer, has ever disassembled the LCD TV. There are no children in our house who can damage the LCD TV. Hence, there is no question of the LCD TV (front panel) getting physically damaged. I never expected such an irresponsible attitude from a company of such repute.
I request the consumer forum to kindly takeup the matter and get the front panel of the LCD TV replaced.
