I’d be willing to bet everyone who is having problems with the smoking and fires that it is some capacitor inside that caused it. A couple of capacitors overheated and swelled to their breaking point. Then low and behold the Picture went out on it. I cleaned it up the best I could and scanned it to my computer and emailed it to Polaroid and they responded with “It’s out of warranty now.” It wasn’t when I first started complaining to them. I finally got a hold of the Walmart where I bought it and it took them several days to dig through their computer files but they did find it.
I contacted Polaroid to complain and they said I needed my receipt, which I could not find. The very first thing that went out on it was the DVD player. I paid over $700 for my 32″ Polaroid TV/DVD combo. Late at nite, my mom would NEVER have thought to unplug the tv, had smoke come out of it or it caught on fire…She is elderly and sometimes falls asleep… Sheesh… Makes me sick to even think of it! Anyway, really sorry to be so long and go on and on…Just nasty when people can die and a company does nothing… I am at Hotmail if any updates… Thx.
Old polaroid tv how to#
Seems decent, authentic and genuine…I think he may sell parts for less than the expensive manufacturers, as well as show how to DIY…May be an option for those of us who were EXTREMELY FORTUNATE and our tv’s did not catch on fire, and we can still fix them… I STILL want to be a part of this lawsuit, if there is one and it’s not too late…Really disgusting. I just cameĪcross something on Youtube about fixing tv’s -especially when the screen is out and sound still on….”” He shows how to fix tv’s. LIAR TECH, who answered the phone, told me it was EXTREMELY RARE, when I asked him how often this happens…LIAR. Picture just went out this week- still have sound… Just called Polaroid. 32 inch Flat screen LCD, Walmart, Black Friday Special.
