No customer service
The television was bought from Beyond Television.com as they offered the best price at the time, the scart socket on the back of the television has just recently become defective and also the Audio has stopped working so in total 2 defects. I have not had any satisfaction from Toshiba Customer Services they will not return my phone calls and it is almost impossible to get through to them by telephone to arrange for the TV to be repaired. I have made numerous attempts to contact them by email and telephone although they ignore my requests. I would not recommend this product due to the poor Customer Service and faults to the television.

SOLD US A DEFECTIVE TV
SEPT 17 2008 MY TV JUST STOP WORKING. I CALLED CONN'S (REPAIR DEPT.) & WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL TOSHIBA . CALLED TOSHIBA & SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. THE SERVICE AGENT BUT THE PART WOULD BE MORE THEN A WEEK. I TOLD HIM THAT I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM CONN'S & WAS TOLD BY THE SALESPERSON AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THAT IF WE HAD ANY PROBLEMS THEY WOULD SWITCH OUT OUR TV NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THE TOSHIBA AGENT SUGGESTED TO CALL CONN'S SINCE WE PAID FOR THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY.I CALLED CONN'S ON SEPT 19 & TOLD THEM WHAT THE TOSHIBA AGENT TOLD ME. THEY SAID "OH NO WE DON'T REPLACE THE TV WE HAVE TO COME OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES & THEN WE WILL REPLACE IT" THAT'S WHY ITS BETTER YOU GO THROUGH US THEN TOSHIBA SO WE CAN DOCUMENT THE SERVICE CALLS. SO I PLACED THE SERVICE CALL & WAS TOLD HE WOULD BE OUT ON SEPT 22 BETWEEN 2-4. JUAN SHOWED UP SOMETIME AFTER 4. THIS WOULD BE THE START OF MANY INCONSISTENCIES BY CONN'S. JUAN(CONN'S AUTHORIZED AGENT) SHOWS UP & I LET HIM KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TOSHIBA'S SERVICE AGENT SAID THE PROBLEM WAS. HE SAID NO THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE PCB THE MAIN FRAME COMPUTER OF THE TV ITS NOT REBOOTING. HE SAID HE WOULD PLACE AN ORDER FOR THE NEW PART & HE SHOULD HAVE IT IN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS. I CALLED CONN'S & LET THEM KNOW WHAT JUAN HAD TOLD ME & ASKED IF I COULD USE A LOANER TV BECAUSE I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE REPAIR DEPT. THAT ITS UP TO THE MANAGER ON THIS. THEY INFORMED ME THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AVAILABLE I WAS JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT IT OUT.SO ON FRI 26TH I CALLED TO FIND OUT IF THE PART WAS IN. I WAS TOLD NO.ON MON 29TH I CALLED NO PART, & FINALLY TUES 30TH THE PART WAS IN. NOW MIND YOU I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH & THE WARRANTY DEPT.THAT I WOULD HEAR FROM THEM WHEN THE PART CAME IN.BUT, WHO WAS CALLING WHO? I WAS CALLING THEM! I SET UP THE 1ST AVAILABLE DATE WHICH WAS THURS OCT 2.THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE AGENT WOULD CALL ME BETWEEN 730-9 AM & LET ME KNOW WHAT TIME TO EXPECT HIM. I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL & CALLED THAT MORNING AFTER 9. THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE IN THE REPAIR DEPART SAID THE SERVICE AGENT WAS NOT ANSWERING HIS PHONE & HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TIME HE WAS DUE OUT HERE, BUT HE WOULD KEEP CALLING HIM.FINALLY AROUND 10:30 I GOT A CALL FROM JUAN & HE SAID HE WOULD BE OUT THERE BETWEEN 2-4. HE ARRIVES AT 4 & REPLACES THE PCB BOARD. HE PUTS THE BOARD IN & TAKES IT OUT, PUTS IT IN & TAKES IT OUT.THEN HE CLOSES UP THE TV & SAID "THIS IS NOT WORKING THEY SENT ME A DEFECTIVE BOARD" I SAY HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE YOU JUST ORDERED IT FROM THE MANUFACTURE. HE SAID "IT IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY WITH TOSHIBA" I SAY WELL THAT IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. FIRST WE GET A DEFECTIVE PCB MAIN COMPUTER FRAME WHEN WE HAVE ONLY HAVE THE TV FOR 5 MONTHS NOW, & THEN YOU ORDER A NEW ONE DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURE & ITS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. I SAID THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD AT ALL.HE SAID "WELL THAT'S TOSHIBA" I SAID THEY SEND OUT DEFECTIVE PARTS, & HE SAID "YEAH" HE THEN SAID HE WOULD EXPEDITE THE NEW PART & CALL US HE HAS NOT CALLED! I CALLED CONN'S ON THE 2ND OF OCT. & WANTED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER BECAUSE WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS TV WE WERE SOLD A WARRANTY REPAIR THAT WE PAID AN EXTRA TWO HUNDRED & FIFTY DOLLARS. WHAT HAS IT DONE FOR US?!I WAS TOLD THAT CHRISTINA WAS THE MANAGER OF THIS DEPART & THAT SHE WAS IN A MEETING. I SAID COULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR HER TO CALL ME BACK, I WAS TOLD YES. 30 MINUTES LATER I CALLED AGAIN & WAS TOLD THE SAME THING SHE WAS IN A MEETING & SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. I WAITED. AT 5:50 I CALLED & WAS TOLD BY MARIA THAT CHRISTINA WAS GONE FOR THE DAY. I ASKED HER TO LET ME SPEAK TO SOMEONE OVER THAT DEPART BECAUSE THAT WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL OF CHRISTINA TO LEAVE WITHOUT RETURNING HER MESSAGES. MARIA PUT ME ON HOLD & THEN SHE DISCONNECTED ME. I TRIED CALLING BACK BUT ONLY TO GET A RECORDING STATING THAT THE WARRANTY REPAIR DEPART WAS CLOSED FOR THE DAY. ON FRIDAY MORNING OCT 3.I MADE AN EARLY CALL TO THE WARRANTY REPAIR DEPART & WAS TOLD THAT CHRISTINA WAS UNAVAILABLE SHE WAS WORKING ON COMMISSIONS. I TOLD THE AGENT I NEEDED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. I WAS SENT TO RUBY (WHO SAID SHES THE SUPERVISOR OF THAT DEPART). I EXPLAINED TO RUBY MY PERDICAMENT & AS I WAS TALKING TO RUBY SHE PUT ME ON HOLD TWICE. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS VERY RUDE, & VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. SHE TOLD ME THAT CONN'S WOULD NOT REPLACE MY TV & THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM COMING OUT 3 TIMES. SHE SAID IT DEPENDS ON THE COST, IF WE START COSTING THEM MORE THEN THE TV'S WORTH THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. WOW! NOW THAT IS THE 4TH ANSWER I HAVE GOTTEN ON HOW THE WARRANTY WORKS.RUBY TOLD ME SHE WOULD PERSONALLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM & SPEAK TO JUAN & CALL THE PARTS DEPART TO HAVE THEM EXPEDITE THIS PART FOR ME. SHE ALSO ASSURED ME THAT CHRISTINA WOULD BE CALLING ME BACK. I WAITED HALF THE DAY FRI & DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM JUAN, RUBY OR CHRISTINA. SO I CALLED CONN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE MAYBE I COULD GET HELP THERE.THE AGENT HEARD ME OUT, & FILLED OUT AN "ESCLATED COMPLAINT FORM". SHE SAID WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS THAT IT GOES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT & THEY CALL YOU BACK WITHIN 24HRS OR CHRISTINA WILL CALL YOU BACK. I WAITED THE REST OF FRIDAY FOR JUAN, RUBY, CHRISTINA, & NOW A CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER TO CALL ME BACK. NOTHING! ON SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING FROM MY SONS FOOTBALL GAME TO MY DAUGHTERS TRACK MEET. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN & TALKED TO PAT. SHE LOOKED UP MY ACCOUNT & SAID. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ORDERED THE PART & IT SHOULD BE IN ON THE 10TH. WAIT A MINUTE THAT IS NOT EXPEDITING ANYTHING. THAT IS EVEN LONGER THEN THE FIRST TIME THEY ORDERED THE PART. I SAID I WANT THIS TV REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE MAIN COMPUTER FRAME NOT WORKING, & YOUR SERVICE AGENTS COMMENT " ITS KNOWN FOR TOSHIBA TO SEND OUT DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS" SHE SAID SHE WOULD RE-SEND THE EMAIL & HAVE SOMEONE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT CALL ME.NOTHING! TODAY MON OCT 6. 20 DAYS LATER. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERIVE AGAIN! I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND A SECOND ESCLATION FORM & I SHOULD BE EXPECTING A CALL.YES YOU GUESSED IT, NO CALL! I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN ANYMORE. THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH CONN'S, & I TELL YOU WHAT IT WILL BE MY LAST. I WILL ALSO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT HOW POOR THIER CUSTOMER SERVICE IS. THEY COULD CARELESS ABOUT YOU OR FOLLOWING THIER OWN PROCEDURES. I WILL TELL THEM DO NOT BUY AN EXTENED WARRANTY FROM CONNS, IT DOES NOT DO YOU ANY GOOD. CAN ANYONE HELP US, AND HOW CAN A COMPANY CONTINUE TO SELL DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. I WANT A NEW TV!!!

No service at all
Upon reading pages and pages of complaints, I find come to find out that I'm not the only one PO-ed by Toshiba's terrible customer "service".
I bought my Toshiba Satellite less than 3 months ago. The damn piece of junk already broke for the third time w/ THE SAME issue - faulty hard drive that keeps crashing.
The first time I had to drive 1.5 hrs to the CSS repair center, the tech told me it was "unusual" for a new laptop to have such a problem. The hard drive was replaced and I got the lap top back in a week or so.
August 19, 2008 - the Laptop is received from repair and powered on.
August 23, 2008 - the Laptop breakes..AGAIN.
When I dish out a nice lump of money for a product, I expect it to last me LONGER than a month...anyone else?
I call the Toshiba support, they tell me to ship it to them, claiming their techs have better equipment and training and will fix the issue, no prob.
I send the thing and get it back in about a week or two. Finally, I power it on (this past Monday) and in a few days(on wed.)GUESS WHAT??! SAME PROBLEM!! They didn't fix SQUAT!
The hard drive croaked again. The system.dll is yet again "missing or corrupt", windows won't start, and the computer boots straight into a blank, black screen.
Called them, told them how it was, didn't hold any temper back, and got transferred to the Customer Relations Center where I spoke to Jose, the *&#()hole. I asked Jose if I could be transferred to a supervisor, not to be a b%^$!ch, I just wanted to speak to someone who would be the last option and get straight to the point. This piece of (^#*@ says(and I quote): "I won't let the issue escalate beyond me. So you will have to speak to me"...
Huh? But I don't want to speak to YOU...I want to speak to a supervisor. I want to explain this problem to someone who CAN do something about it. But Jose wouldn't have it. When confronted with my assumption that it pretty improbable for a hard drive to be faulty, with dead spots three times in a row, Jose snobbishly stated: "We don't expect our customers to know anything about proper functioning of hardware. Only our techs would know that." (aka. your too stupid to know anything about the complicated clockwork of a computer, so I'm just going to ignore anything you say concerning the issue). When it came down to my options, the very rude *#^*@face gave me the good, 'ol run-around: "*sigh*Mam', you have two options. You can either take your laptop to a repair center. Or you can send it in to our repair depot."
Hmmm..sounds familiar. OH WAIT! Because I already did that! And the problem was still not resolved.
Given the fact that this "customer relations manager" failed to assist, and plainly just told me to f -off, I decided to call back.
The results?
The customer support rep(which, despite the same bullcrap, was a bit more properly mannered) promised that everything will be taken care of...
..once I send the laptop in for repair...again...
Stating that he will write up a "full repot" on this case and make sure that the techs run all the proper test, Eric assured me that they will do everything in their power so that I "will never experience the same problem again".
Ok Eric. I got your word for it...and your employee ID.
So you better be right.
The laptop will ship out tomorrow. I'll get back to you all on the final outcome.

Won't honor their warranty
I just want to advise anyone purchasing a computer from Toshiba. They will look for anything to get out of their warranty.
I purchase the laptop from CompUSA, Anchorage Alaska in 2005.
Within a year, the motherboard died. They claimed there was liquid damage to it, there was not, there was a little surface stain by a speaker.
CompUSA looked at it and they said there was no liquid damage.
CompUSA fixed it.
Then the fan went out. CompUSA fixed that too.
Now the motherboard and the hard drive have died.
Come to find out they are having a lot of problems with the Quosimo's because they are over heating and the warranty on that model is still on. They still will not honor the warranty on it. With CompUSA going out of business, I'm in trouble.
I have been through 2 motherboards, a hard drive and a fan so far.
I will never buy another Tosiba product again and I will always tell anyone who is buying an electronic device to stay away from Toshiba.
I will put a plug in for CompUSA in Alaska. Where Toshiba has failed to honor their word, CompUSA has gone out of their way to fix our laptop. They may never see this but grats to you CompUSA.

Crap
I bought a new Toshiba A200-TH7 in May 2008. I was able to use this computer for 1 week only. The computer went to blue screen and would not start. I drove the computer 1.5 hrs to the repair depot... they didn't even offer to send free courier. Received the computer back and it still did not work. To make a long story short... the computer has been in for repair 2ce, i have used it a total of 1 week and it still does not work. I can not get customer service to call me back... I call technical every day as they are the ones to initiate customer service. It has been 3 weeks with no call back. I beg of people do not buy a Toshiba... they are lemons and they do not care about the customer or product. I feel so strongly about this I will spend my whole day trying to get the message out on every web site I can.

Terrible experience
I bought a 37 inch LCD TV about 14 months ago. As of recent I had no complaints, however the plastic see-through membrane has started to crack in several areas and Toshiba is not even willing to look at it. This is obvious a defect as nothing has come in contact with the screen except for a LCD cleaning spray. If you are thinking about purchasing a Toshiba product be aware that you are on your own once purchased Toshiba will not come to the plate when needed! I will investigate any future purchases to unsure no Toshiba products or R&D has committed to the final product! Very disappointed.

Terrible quality product!
On December 3, 2006, I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L35-S1054, Model # PSL33U-00R0M, Serial # 96031535W at Wal Mart in Campbellsville, KY as a Christmas gift for my son, who was 14 at the time. The product that I got from Toshiba has not performed to my expectations because I have had to send the laptop to the Toshiba repair center five times since December of 2006. The first four times that I had to send it via UPS to be repaired, the technicians informed me that the back light was out and the SIMM was loose. They fixed it, but it didn’t last long. The last time that I had to send it to them, they said the keyboard needed replacing, and since they “fixed” it, several keys have fallen off. And now, the hard drive has crashed. The warranty has expired. You would think a hard drive would last a lot longer than this one has. I tried to take it back to the Wal Mart where I purchased it, but they refused to refund my money or exchange it for another laptop. And this was within the 90-day return policy they have.
I need your help in resolving my problem. I would be grateful if Toshiba would return my money or exchange the item I purchased for another comparable laptop (not the same one and with a warranty). I will gladly send them the laptop I have now back to them so they can see for themselves how messed up it is. Please contact me at my address or phone numbers listed here: 289 Bernard Farm Road, Russell Springs, KY 42642. Phone #’s home (270) 866-9029; cell (270) 507-6058.

it's a lemon
Toshiba has been terrible in terms of customer support. I bought a new computer this Spring (2007) and it has caused me problems since Wk 1. Unfortunately, I didn't take it back to Office Depot during the first 2 weeks. Office Depot's policy is that they only take back their products during the first 2 weeks. When I have contacted Toshiba, they either put me on a long hold or never get back with me (I get a recording to leave my phone number but they don't call back). Initially, when I called them, they took my calls but I guess they got tired of giving me new case numbers for each time I called. My computer has frozen on me since I got it. I asked them to provide me with a new computer since I paid the price of a new computer. However, they initially said that they, as a company, DO NOT replace computers, they only repair them. I don't understand this given that my computer has frozen on me and has been a lemon since Week 1. Does anyone have suggestions? I have recently had to purchase a new computer through another company. This situation with Toshiba has been extremely costly, not to mention taken a lot of my time and caused significant frustration. In addition, it has frozen on me multiple times while I was working on my dissertation or other important documents that had deadlines. Thus, I have had to re-do documents that I was in the middle of completing. I need assistance. I want my money back!
The computer was a lemon from the beginning. Since Toshiba is not willing to replace my "newly" purchased laptop, I am very unhappy. I deserve a new computer...not a repaired computer - I have had to buy a new computer through another company.
