Two weeks ago, I bought an RCA LCD TV from Zellers in Toronto. It was the display model. They told me that it comes with the full manufacturing warranty (1 year). They gave me the box, the manual, etc. When I got home, the remote didn't work. I went back to the store and they said that they don't have another remote to give me. They told me to call RCA. I have been given the run around by RCA and was told to call many different numbers. Finally, I was able to speak with Curtis in Canada.
Curtis told me that this model of TV is no longer supported by them. They took over from RCA in Canada and they don't warranty this model. Zellers won't take it back even though it's only two weeks old. RCA says that the model number stamped on the back of it is not correct. Curtis says that they don't support or warranty this model, etc. The TV works but the remote doesn't. This is hard because several of the features on the TV have to be accessed on the remote, meaning, a universal remote won't solve the problem. I have no idea what to do.
