Sony's Green Blob

[sneakygator]

Well it finally happened. I am so pizzed I can't stand it. The green blob has invaded my Sony 60" SXRD. During the race last night with company over to watch because "I have the best TV". :angry:

I've had the damn thing 2 and a half years so I doubt my warranty is still valid.

Anyone gone through this with any advice on getting it fixed? Thanks in advance.

Looks like there's a class action lawsuit (http://www.breakitdownblog.com/class-action-lawsuit-against-sony-for-green-haze-or-green-blob-sxrd-problem/) in the works. The link also has some addresses/phone numbers for possible resolution or repair.

You might want to check avsforum as a lot of guys over there had this problem.

Just an update.

Thanks for the info Steel.

Called Sony and after some really stupid questions and some "tests". :roll:
They gave me 2 numbers to local repair shops in the area. One being the Consumer Center, that Vanders and Flip recommended to me when my lamp in the tv died.

I called them and within a week I had the repair done and am back to the best tv picture I have ever seen.

If anyone in the Tampa Bay area is interested in Sony tv's, I highly recommend the Consumer Center. Sony tv's sales and service is all they do.
