Troubleshoot the 42-Inch LG Digital Flat Screen Television
The LG 42-inch digital flat screen television is covered under a standard one-year warranty. During the first year after purchase, contact an LG authorized service center if the television set requires warranty service. Before calling, however, troubleshoot the television and attempt to resolve the problem at home. You may avoid the inconvenience of being without a television while waiting for your set to be inspected at a service center. Does this Spark an idea?
