So I had a problem with my plasma tv and since I'm a bit technical I've been trying to figure out how to repair it myself. After wasting several days on youtube, several other diy websites and the manufacturer's useless website/support chatbot ... I called Tilton figuring I'd just get another dead end support person telling me I would need to bring the set in for them to fix for some outrageous price. I'm just getting myself psyched up to buy another tv...
Then I speak with Tilton and I'm now amazingly re-inspired with humanity. Not only does he know what I'm talking about, he goes on to explain what normally happens with these tv's and how to fix the problem. He saved me at least $90 by not having to try a new power supply which I was close to buying off ebay. With no expectation of getting my immediate business he calmly speaks to me as if I may know just enough to be able to fix this myself. Yay!
Most companies keep "real" knowledge buried behind closed doors, tucked away in the dark so we're forced to either use their expensive services or throw away our things. It is so rare as a "retail consumer" to be able to figure out ever more complicated gadgets. Getting to speak with someone like Tilton is like finding a rare jewel for us tekkies.
Please, please, please use this small business whenever you can. The world is in dire need of people like this. They deserve our support and recognition. read more
