No, we were actually out-of-town in Chicago, caught EV on friday night at the Auditorium theater and when we got back Sunday the TV wouldn't come on.
I spent 6 hours Sunday night reading the instruction manual and moving cables....everything but it wouldn't come on...
Then I talked to my dad and he said we had a balls out electrical storm Friday night and lightning got several computers at the local library (made big news here).....
then I realized my AC wasn't working right either and all that was a thrown breaker.
But I'm taking it back to Sears tomorrow and not saying shit about lightning, hopefully they'll fix it or replace it.
It was almost $4000.
The cable box doesn't work either but that's on the cable company they said they would get me one out tomorrow.

When my sis comes over she says to me it's time to invest in a new HGTV or whatever they'll called. I've seen hers and I must say the picture is awesome but I'll stick to my fat bottom 30 inch till it dies. It's almost there it takes 5 minutes to come on.
I don't watch much televison so I'm in no hurry, I tell her if you run into a great deal call me.
Insurance companies are a rip off for sure find a way to get your money back. They suck I had a knee operation several yrs back $5500 and health refused to cover, I refused to pay 5years later they settled for $1500 and the company was Mege Health Insurance or some shit those rip off bastards.
Get ALL that you can from em man.

$4000? That's like...2 Afghans!0 -

think of it this way... he could have bought an afghan, had it struck by lightning, and got a new one for the cost of his tv. but they're not much fun to watch. you'd have to get subtitles on everything and the women would never show any skin... fuck that!and like that... he's gone.0 -
First of all, your insurance must really suck - i.e. you don't have a very good policy. Either that, or they're giving you a line of bull and you're buying it. Is it homeowners or renters?
Secondly, who owns a $4k TV without making darn sure their insurance will cover it, and more importantly, that they have the best surge protector, breaker system, etc. that money can buy?The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

MY Homeowners covers contents of my home against:
Fire
Theft
Rain Damage/Storm Damage
No coverage for:
Earthquake
Flood
Lightning*
* electronics specific ie powersurges...
if lightning caused a fire it would be covered.
Yes I had a surge bar.... it didn't work apparently and what's strange is, my computer and printer etc. are not on a surge protector and they are just fine.the Minions0 -

They knew you had to get on AMT and talk about your disgust with the insurance company to the PJ fans so they made sure to protect themselves.

Those cheap power bars you buy at Wal-Mart aren't surge protectors. If I had a TV worth that much, I'd find something that's actually rated to protect the TV.The only people we should try to get even with...
