Called and spoke with Rick Tawfeek about repairing our 51" projection TV. The converter chip had gone out and the colors appeared to be in 3D. He told me that it is normal in projection TV's and he could fix it. The going rate is about $250 to make the repair but offered me a deal if I paid cash. After Rick came to the house and replaced the chip the television seemed to work fine. I did notice that during the repair Rick had multiple chips lying next to him that appeared to be used and I questioned him on it. He told me that the white corrosion on the chip was normal. This may be so. My guess is that he is using parts from used televisions and hopes that his so called "warranty" of 90 days holds out. The warranty was written on a business card. In this case it did not. My television was worse less than 12 hours later. The part he had put in made the tv worse off than before. I called Rick that Saturday morning and he finally got back to me Monday night. He had me try a few things with manual convergence on the settings but none of his ideas worked. He gave me the song and dance about not having his schedule in front of him and he would have to get back with me. Have not heard from him since. We called his parents home which happens to be the same address as his business and spoke with his dad about returning our $200 but still have heard nothing. Don't let me mislead you, this is not a kid going around repairing televisions, it is a grown man. Warning! Under no circumstances would I trust this man to repair your tv. I will be submitting a complaint to the Better Business Bureau.

I have a 50"tv that had quit working I looked in the phone phone book and a big add caught my eye in home repair I called the guy and ask u do all the work in the home? yes he said, he came out check the fuses and said the board has to be replace but you didn't check anything else it could be something small you have no test equipment, so what he is is a board replacement repalce the boards till one fixes it, we have been waiting 4 weeks for that board, still no sign of this guy or my $200.00.
