All of a sudden, when I turned on my tv there was these green horizontal lines streaking through the middle of my screen and distorting the picture too. I tried adjusting the convergence points, but that wasnt the problem. I also opened the tv and it seemed like the crt beams were working fine. Well, after getting a TV-technician to come in and replacing some small component inside, my wallet was $250 lighter


My AV-wp30 56" is only 2 years old too. If you guys run up on similar problems let me know

I have the 48" version of your TV, and the same sort of thing happened to me. Mine, also, is about 2 years old. We were watching a DVD and suddenly the red convergence control went out. Red lines were surrounding everything. Luckily, I bought the ext. warranty and didn't have to pay any out of pocket at this time. The ext. warranty paid for itself in one problem.

I, too, also have the 48" version (3 years old). It is having a problem with convergence on the upper left of the screen (almost 1/4 of the screen shows ghost images). It got so bad that I have to contact for service. They came and took the set away. That was 2 weeks ago. Still haven't heard anything from the service center yet.

My AV-56WP30 also broke after 2 years.
The first problem was an IC board that needed to be replaced. When I got the TV back from the repair center, the DVI input no longer worked.

JVC does a heck of a job stocking parts because the DVI part has been on backorder for 3 WEEKS!

webster

No Kidding, I'm still waiting for one of the part to arrive. My TV went into the shop on 4/11/05 and today is 6/3/05!!. I've just talk to the shop and they told me they are still waiting for the part

doubledsquared

I'm not kidding!

JVC HD TVs are a pile of junk.

I finally got my DVI part installed and guess what! The DVI input still doesn't work.
My TV has been broken since the last week in March and today is June 5th.

*#!$!#, just called the service center and asked for the status of my TV. They told me to hold while they contact JVC to see what the hold up on the part. To make a long story short, JVC told them the part "May, or may not be available for shipping in 1-1 1/2 month "

As of today, time TV in the shop = 2 months + 10 days and counting....

I like JVC audio but am less than impressed with their video offerings.

If you live neer the JVC repair center in NJ the turn around time on repairs is phoenominally fast.

It's too bad people post comments as this just because of a parts issue.
The DVI/HDMI interface as with all new interfaces is/has been a problem for many manufactures.
You can't blast any manufacture just because YOU have a problem with a single set.

It's not a "piece of junk' it's new technology. Use a component input instead.

I thought people here would be older than that
I love my JVC HD Set, dont flame just cause youre one of the random people that got a defective product

I have a AV-48WP30 too. Today, the upper left and lower right convergence seemed to have gone bad. I think it's the green one. Any ideas on how to fix this. The TV is about three years old. No issues until today. We've been very happy with it too.

I'll bet if you had the same problem that these people are having you'd feel the same way. Actually they are doing people a service when they let it be known of the miserable service they are receiving from a certain vendor. Personally I feel this is one of the main purposes of this forum. When something is good, great let it be known but the same holds true of lousy performance/service.

I have a AV-48WP30 too. Three years and it finally said good night. I guess after investing $2000 in a television set it isn't worth saying we haven't have any problems until now. JVC seems to have it timed just right for those who didn't get extended warranties. 2 - 3 years and it dies. What happened to the days when you could have a television set that cost $150 and lasted for 10 years?

cza2791

Any have any recommendations with what to do with the set? Is it worth trying to fix it? What would you replace it with?

palmejoe

I wish I had one. I don't think it's worth spending $175 just for the tech to come out to my home then potentially spend up to $900 for parts on a TV that was purchased 3 years ago for $2000. My wife and I are going to permanently downgrade to a much smaller LCD HD (20''). We can just move the TV around the house that way rather than having a huge eyesore that is a ticking timebomb in the living area. I don't think we are ever going to trust expensive electronics again. They definitely don't make them to last. I don't see us buying another JVC product in the near future. Oh well, a lesson learned the hard way!

I'm very glad that you love your JVC and that you've had a trouble free set.
I hope you continue to have a trouble free set for many years to come.

My JVC HDTV however was broken for over 4 months and was just declared UNREPAIRABLE.

I owned a 2 and 1/2 year old JVC HDTV and it's unrepairable. Well, there's $2000 well spent wouldn't you say?

I wish I had known before hand that there was an age limit before buying an HDTV. I would have waited to make my purchase so I wouldn't have wasted $2000. Was it JVC's GARBAGE or was it because I wasn't old enough? I will put my money on the manufacturer. Care to make a wager?

KuipeDogg

I think you randomly got one in the defective percentage of production, dont make it seem like Jvc decided that they wanted you to have a bad tv.


and im suprised the moderators even let you scream out things in huge font, I yell enough in real life to keep it outa here

Woo hoo....
Finally got my TV back................
Everything is working fine now. But I'll keep my finger crossed..........
4/11 to 8/15/05!!! Only 4 months and 4 days to get it fixed. Good thing that it still under warranty (on the last year of the 3 years extended warranty) otherwise it would cost me $855.00 (almost the cost of getting a new set!!!)
Anyway, the warranty is expiring soon so I hope nothing else is going wrong with this set. If it die again, I'll just go out and buy a new set.
Don't get me wrong, JVC made great TV sets. It just their stocking for repair parts that suck big time. If anyone think that it take 3 1/2 month to get a part to repair the TV is OK, they need to have their head examine

to cza2791, good luck my friend. personally, if you have the same problem as mine. I'll just go out and buy a new set.

reiver

Mine just died today. I just get a solid power light and a high freq chirping /c******* noise. I think I have a 3 year warranty with best buy. Hope it's still good!
