Mitsubishi DLP Television WD-57831 Class Action Lawsuit
by jschweikle - 7/25/07 6:43 PMHello,
Is anyone interested in getting in on a class action lawsuit against Mitsubishi and their (known?) defective DLP televisions? I've seen numerous posts regarding lamps, ballast boards, DLP engines, total rebuilds, poorly assembled thermistor sensors, air flow problems, useless repairmen, etc. etc.
I too am experiencing the joy of making 3 Diamond Card payments as well as HD cable programming payments all for a television that stopped working back on June 30, 2007 and has had 2, now a pending 3rd, unsucessful attempts by incompetent "authorized repair centers" to fix it. ITS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD!!! Randomly replacing parts without performing electronic troubleshooting is totally unacceptable.
Anyway, please let me know if anyone would be willing to sign some papers and get this thing going.
Thanks!
Response to Mitsubishi class action lawsuit

I have successfully handled a class action lawsuit against Panasonic based on premature bulb failure in a line of LCD tvs. I am currently investigating potential class claims against Mitsubishi. If you wish to discuss this, please contact me directly.

Mitsubishi WD-62628 and WD-52628 misrepresentation as 1080P
by daytripper2 - 12/28/07 7:46 AM In reply to: Response to Mitsubishi class action lawsuit by harryshulmanSee the blog tread at
http://www.hdblog.net/2005/11/25/review-mitsubishi-wd-62628
Here many people are upset with Mitsubishi for misrepresentation of their WD-62628, WD-52628 etc DLPs as 1080P, bought them, only to learn that they really will not accept 1080P signal through their HDMI port and for many other problems.
The displayed "1080P" on the front of these TV's at Tweeters, Fry's, Best Buy and other retailers, and in ad's, on the packaging and yet, the user manual does not mention support for anything but 1080i through its two HDMI ports and users confirm it will not accept 1080P signal from Sony Playstation 3 Blueray machines.
Check it out.

Mitisubishi WD-62628 bad light engines
by csabatula - 4/8/09 9:32 AM In reply to: BAD LIGHT ENGINES by KSodaHas anyone started the class action suit yet against Mitisubishi. TV only 2 years old and is shot. We purchased from Sound Advice and they are out of business as well. Lamp went, as well as color wheel, optic block and light engine. Cost $1700 to fix a $3000 set.

by WebMonkey23 - 4/8/09 12:00 PM In reply to: Mitisubishi WD-62628 bad light engines by csabatulaDid you contact Mits? They extended the warranty on some of the models by an additional 2 years. So if you're TV was or is 2 years old it may be covered.
Bad light engine on Mitsubishi Wd-62628
by csabatula - 4/9/09 5:13 AM In reply to: RE: Mitisubishi WD-62628 bad light engines by WebMonkey23I did contact Mitsubishi and will be waiting on an answer. They wanted some info faxed in from the authorized service rep and will review it. I am hoping it gets us a warranty extension. Thanks. Will let you know.
Warranty extension from Mitsubishi
by csabatula - 4/28/09 5:14 AM In reply to: Bad light engine on Mitsubishi Wd-62628 by csabatulaI contacted Mitsubishi customer service and was taken care of expediently. They covered the costs of all parts for the TV, optic block, color wheel which was over $900. I did have to cover the cost of the service call, labor and the lamp. It still ended up costing me all-in-all about $525, but much better than $1500.

by WebMonkey23 - 4/28/09 9:39 AM In reply to: Warranty extension from Mitsubishi by csabatulaWhy wouldn't they cover the labor or service call? When I had my problem they covered both.
Warranty extension from Mitsubishi
by csabatula - 4/29/09 4:34 AM In reply to: RE: Warranty extension from Mitsubishi by WebMonkey23Not sure, but I wasn't pressing my luck. We did not buy an extended warranty and the TV is 2 1/2 years old. Guess I should have pressed more, but didn't.
