Only in store repair for the Geek Squad? [View all]

Earlier this evening could not turn the cable/TV for the news. The light on the side of the cable control was pulsating. Called Comcast, there were some upgrade recently and they were going to send a signal. Cable box seems OK but cannot turn the TV on.

It is a SONY 42" - perhaps less - and is only three years old. And yes, when we purchased it at Best Buy three years ago, also a sound bar we paid them to connect to the cable and the CD player etc.

OK, contacted the Geek Squad and for a TV that is 42" or less.... we have to bring it to the store.

So there are the two of us, probably will be able to manage, but, really. What if I were alone? And will they come again to connect everything?

I suppose if we were in a senior home, we would not have to worry about that.

At least managed to find time Saturday evening. Will see.
