If yours is a 40" I'd be checking it though... Manufactured 2007-8 doesn't mean that just because you bought it last year it's OK ;)

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

They have a tough job. Find components cheap enough that they fail shortly after the warranty has expired, but not before, and certainly not so catastrophically that they catch fire. Seems they failed with these models, but I wouldn't expect much better from any of the others. ;)

I thought high temperature and extreme climate MTBF testing was meant to find these problems. I wouldn't expect this on the cheap manufacturers as this is the type of corners they cut to make it cheaper, but I would on a premium price brand like Sony.

Does anybody know if they do this type of testing?

Thats why Amstrad stopped making sat boxes. The caps they used used to fail regularly soon after the year was up, however with the increased temp to solder lead free, the caps would not have stood it so would have failed earlier. I remember having to repair some amstrads, formula was change all PSU caps first then if fault not cleared continue diagnosis. Funny thing was we had to bag up all the duff caps, cause they were being sold somewhere ?  :o 

to Sony perhaps  ;D
