Samsung forum: digital board issues with hlr4667w hlr5067w hlr5667w hlr6167

See arbitration details in my 6/16/11 post. Without giving any rationale the arbiter directed Samsung pay me $1,045.00. This is for a 50" TV that cost me $2400 in Oct 2005 and which died 4 years later. So for those of you who are wondering if taking a year and going to arbitration is worth it? I'm giving it a two thumbs up. Good Luck!!

I'm gonna go ahead and file the complaint today. I hope its not too late. My hlr6167 has not been working correctly for about 2.5 years as soon as it got out of the extended warranty so I just began to unplug it and plug it back in for a while. That only lasted for a while not it just continues to freeze. I wanna thank everybody that has put so much useful information on this blog. Wish me luck!

Had a similar issue with my HLR5678 -- it was the digital board DNIe chip.
I did two things, I filed a complaint with with the NJ attorneys office and I sent my board to JD Electronics (Owosso, MI) for diagnosis since everyone gave them good reviews.

Eventually, I had an arbitration hearing last year with Samsung and received $500 compensation for their defective board design. So I was happy about that.

However my tv still didn't work...so meanwhile, JD Electronics said they fixed my digital board and shipped it back to me via UPS. Great, I thought. But get this, turns out they had stopped paying their UPS bill and had their account suspended/cancelled. And lucky me, my package with all 3 boards got stolen after being delivered. And UPS wouldn't pay my claim for the lost package because JD Electronics' account wasn't in good standing, and JD Electronics pretended they didn't even know who I was. More than a year later and after I wrote them a letter asking them to help me out, they completely ignored my correspondence. Now I have a shell of a DLP tv sitting in the closet waiting to be dumped.

So if you're thinking about using JD Electronics to fix your Samsung or Xbox board, you might want to find out how they're shipping your package...they tried to pull a shady move for me (free UPS shipping for them!) and I got screwed in the process.
