Consumer Blues continued

Yesterday, Wed 7th of December, the nice man from AWA / Panasonic rang and came to our house to repair our plasma TV. Nearly two weeks after I had lodged the original call. I had told him of the 7 flashes of death so he brought an appropriate circuit board which he installed. However when tuning the "fixed' TV, all went haywire. I wasn't there but I was told the image broke in halves with one half black. He made some calls and now we have to wait for a new TV replacement. How long will we wait? Will it be the same model? Will it it be drama free? The saga continues....
