About that failed TV. . .
All diagnostics suggested by the company support said dead power supply or similar. Did everything by the book. No power on.
“Tech” call today with replacement TV.
“What’s it doing?”
“Well, I’ll show you.” *reaches to the TV’s power button and presses*
TV powers on.
Dafuq?!? Earlier TODAY, it did not power on.
“Tech”: *does not unbox new TV. Does not test anything* “It could be the UPS you have it plugged into.”
*sigh* “No, because I tested it plugged directly into the wall, as well as switching outlets [etc.].” (Oh, and the other two things plugged into the UPS both work, and have shown no interruption in service. Only two things*–neither the TV–is plugged into battery backup.
Me: *signs docs attesting to TV’s current functionality; hopes not calling again in a week*
Still, unless I open things up and test things myself, this will just have to be a mystery. and I have no desire to void the warranty.
Oh, well.
*On battery backup: a NAS and gigabit switch. Switch is, of course, for the NAS. . . and the TV, since I have not/will not enable the WiFi on the TV.
