Extended Warranty just not worthed

Tweet

Okay, a friend of mine bought a high - end HDTV with LED type of television. It is pretty big like 52 inches, and he likes when he first saw it. So, he bought the television with those extended warranty besides manufacturer offered warranty. After sometime, the television starts have problem, and it is freezing from time to time. First, he thought it was the signal from DirectTV, but it also has the same problem when he play video games, or watch Blue - Ray, or DVDs. So, with the warranty on hand, he called up the service center, and they agreed to send out a technical guy to take a look at the TV. The guy replace the motherboard sort of thing inside the TV, but the problem still persisted after sometime. By then, the extended warranty was expired, and the retailer stores denied the warranty validity. But the television wasn't entirely fixed while the warranty still valid. So, I think he should go to small claim court to sue them, what do you think? By the way, extended warranty really sucks, I think we should not buy those stuff from the retailers.
