We bought a samsung tv - model no u a 40jv64youlxl (Led smart tv) in july 2016 with a one year warranty.
In november 2017, while the sound continued to work, the display was erratic. I registered a complaint and the service person checked the tv and reported that the led bulb was an issue so its needs to be replaced. He gave an estimate of rs 5000 and wanted to take the tv to his service center. He said that this is a regular problem with this model, however since the tv was working intermittently, i did not hand over the tv to him. He also did not ask for a service charge so there is no record of this visit.
The display problem persisted so i lodged a complaint again. This time, i was told that the panel is not working and repair cost is 35 k. I informed him that i rather buy a new tv and handed over a service fee of rs 295 and he gave me a receipt - attached for reference. He would not write the nature of the problem or the solution inspite of my repeatedly asking him to. This created further doubt.
Next day, when my son in law just changed the hdmi port and the display was perfect.
I am sure a qualified technician could have offered this solution - moreover two different technicians find two completely different solutions to fix the same problem. Also the ridiculously high charges to fix a one and a half year old tv. This is completely unacceptable and unethical. Kindly look into this and advise

Where on earth can you find the blame on customer !!
The e-store continues to blame offer department and me while the problem is with them.
I was told it will be shipped in 5 days but it was done after 18 days... No JUSTIFICATION.. And despite reaching out to them during that period, I wasn't given a single response.
