ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH 42EP24S

The original problem was a flickering screen and good audio. I called SEARS repair and the following ensued. The upgade boards were installed by SEARs techs. When the first eeprom was installed nothing happened when it was turned on. Techs deemed it a bad chip. We reordered another chip and I installed the second eeprom and all it does is turn on the LEDs on the left front (power indicator) to turn purple for a few seconds then turns red. That is not the normal (red=standby/ Blue= on) You can tell that the power supplies are not being enabled due to no audible click when power switch is toggled. I reinstalled the original chip and the power supplies kick on but the original problem is still there. Any idea why the chips aren't kicking on the power supply?

Sears was of no help to me in a similar situation like yours. Your best bet is to get Haier to send you a new or refurbished unit 42ep24s-rb. Know that this is fastest, cheapest (or no cost) solution to your problem. I have an idea this is also cheapest approach for Haier. For the benefit of those others that didn't get the upgrade boards, you must indicate that you know this particular model is experiencing "blackout but with audio" and that Haier has a replacement kit (usually at no cost) to rectify this problem throughout the US. Yes the EEprom may not be compatible with the upgrade kit TV-3940-01 which contains three motherboards or the servicemen may have improperly handled your plasma screen or damaged your other boards or the replacement boards were defective. You must lodge your complaint about your current experience of Sears Service to the Haier America office at this email Aaron Gal [email protected] or Aaron Gal

Your solution lies with Haier who is planning on marketing this low cost quality monitor at Walmart! They want a positive image that they will take care of owners of their products whether it is high end or low end. Haier is a responsive and responsible manufacturer. They depend on LG for delivery of their parts. Please excercise patience and courteousness when dealing with Haier and you will have your TV/replacement working perfectly again.

Haier Plasma Tv

If this is the 42EP24S TV the repair is quite easy - remove the back cover and replace 3 boards and an EEPROM, replace the cover and then program the set via the remote control.

If you can get the repair kit (TV-3940-01) from SEARS, get it.

You can get a kit (6871VSNB03E) from Rich-Tech for $198 plus shipping. It does not have the EEPROM though.

HAIER 42 PLASMA

Installation of the upgade kit is fairly simple. Just watch the pins which connect to the boards when plugging and unplugging. Sears offers the kits at 178.00. or they did. I'll attach upgrade instructions with the kit number. http://service.haieramerica.com/documents/SB-TV-0003.pdf

Haier Plasma

Had the same problem. Purchased Haier 42" model 42EP24S from Sears and it broke in 1 1/2 years. Couldn't find anyone to fix it so I ordered part Service Kit: TV-3940-01 from www.searspartsdirect.com the cost was $150.00. If your warranty is up and you're okay with doing your own work. :-)

Replaced 3 boards (instruction included) and my tv is back in action.

POS TV?

too bought a Haier Plasma 42EP24S ,it stopped working after 7 months -I moved and did not touch it for the next five months
while searching for another tv to replace it- I came apon this site .
the tv was out of warrenty by both sears and haeir
well after reading these posts I called haier america and complained they in turn extended my warrenty and a sears rep came on 5 differant times and replaced all the boards inside tv with no luck - so after putting in over $1400.00 in parts an repair into a $1200.00 tv they wanted to start replacing boards again
I refused and kept complaining to several differant reps at sears
[they told me it was haeirs responsabilty not thiers] I don't know haw many times I explained to them that sears sold me the tv not haeir so stand behind what you sell -well after alot of calls and persistance sears replaced my tv free of charge with credt for a new tv for exactly what I paid
SO DONT BUY ANY PARTS OR PAY FOR ANY SERVICE IF YOU BOUGHT THIS TV AND ARE HAVING PLOBLEMS
be persistant untill its either fixed or replaced

Haier 42EP24S Plasma Screen went blank

Gastech, trash the TV...Trust me. It's not worth it. Sears fixed mine too, and it never worked. Sears and Haier are keenly aware that they have a rotten product, and are not willing to support it. Your best bet is to not dump anymore money into the TV and buy either a Vizio, Sony, Samsung, etc...It's worth it. Do yourself a favor and don't buy from Sears or Haier again...Tell your friends, too.

Haier 42ep24s 42 in

You need the upgrade kit - make Sears come out and order it for you - they know all about it, claim that the monitor should have been recalled. Mine was out of warranty, however I convinced them to fix the TV.
