Bought a 70 in rouku element tv Nov of 2020 and a red light is blinking about 1 month ago..model number E4aa70r.. They seem to have a defective part item reading the reviews of the same TV..I did register the TV for 2 years but its a bunch of nonsense what you have to go through with their so called customer service which is very hard to get them. The tv is blinking a red light and will not power on. I did all the troubleshooting problems and nothing worked. I've been contacting customer service for days and no response. I was told it will be a 3 mins wait which needed up to be a 20mins hold time. I was then transferred to a voicemail line. This product was registered and still under the two year warranty. I want a refund on my TV of 299.99 Plus 21.00 tax see receipts attachedBusiness Response

I purchased this 65" Roku TV on November 26, 2021. In July 2022, the screen went black while sound can still be heard (sometimes). I tried all the troubleshooting as recommended, but it still doesn't work. I have tried calling a few times, but never get through to a customer service rep. I leave a message but don't receive a response. I'm running out of time on the warranty, and would like this TV either repaired, replaced, or refunded ASAP.Business Response

I purchased an 50 4K UHD Tv on 11-14-2020. Two months ago the tv stopped working and showed a black screen. I reached out to ONN Support several times and was unable to speak to anyone to be sent to voicemail. I left several messages and still no call back. I reached out to ONN Support via email on 09-20-200 to advise them about my Tv no longer working. The emails went back and forth from day to day being mislead by different representatives. I first started out with the troubleshooting that was recommended but didn't resolve my issue. I advised the support team via email and then was asked to provide a receipt.In the past two years I purchased 2 Onn Tvs and I thought that I had lost the receipt.After going to ******* and speaking to management whom advised me that in order to reprint a receipt than they would need the date of purchase and exact register # of purchase. I contacted ******* online services who could not locate the receipt either. I began to search and finally found the receipt after following the steps that was asked of me to complete the warranty claim. I was told to contact a local repairman. Then I was told that they had contacted ******* and that ******* would be able to help me with a copy of the receipt. After driving back to ******* only to be told by management that they had not been contacted by anyone, I emailed ONN Support to see who was contacted at *******. I never received a response. After uploading the receipt, I was emailed by Vincent that the Tv was out of warranty even though the Tv was registered previously after purchasing before the 90 days and that the case was closed. I called ONN Support and left a message and which Axel returned my call. He did let me speak to a Supervisor because he stated that he could handle the issue because he had my information in front of him and that the Supervisor calls are usually lengthy in time. He stated that he could not find when the Tv was registered within 90 days after purchase date.Business Response

I purchased an element 55 inch 4k uhh roku tv on 11/6/2021. I ordered from ****** and paid 299.99 plus tax.
Over the last few months the tv started to get lines on the top and on the bottom. I tried calling the company many times the last two months. I have sat on hold and had to leave a message and never once got a response. Now the tv is starting to go black on the right side along with the lines on the top and bottom. Again I called the company had to leave another message. I also tried online chat with the company several times, it says connecting then just disconnects every single time. This company is supposed to provide one year manufacturer warranty. Well one year is next month for me and id like my tv fixed, a new one, or a full refund. Getting a hold of them is ridiculous and time consuming. Having a tv that is not working correctly for no reason, especially in less than a year, is horrible.Business Response

I purchased 2 Element 55 inch televisions Model E4AA55R from Target on October 10, 2021 and both televisions has started glitching in and out at times and lines are also going across both screen's. Neither tv has had any damage to it at all and are in 2 different rooms in home, but both has the same electric issues. I contacted Element September 19th regarding this week's ago and it has been nothing, but back and fourth emails from the company regarding troubleshooting the tv's and sending photos to them. We've done all the troubleshooting steps which made no difference on either tv and the photo's Wow I've must've sent in around 30 photo's. I've provided proof of purchase, date and from Target, I've shown numerous photo's of both televisions on without physical damage but screen line's are there on both, I've also sent in both model and serial numbers. I own 3 other tv's that I've had in my home nearly 10 year's without any problems, but I've had these less than a year and they already nearly out of service for good. I suggested to this company that they discontinue selling these tv's it's wrong to continue to do knowing they won't last a year consumer's deserve better. Than to request a million photo's of proof and troubleshooting steps knowing that these are damaged electronically to begin with is just wrong. I'm requesting a full refund for both televisions and I won't Ever purchase another Element tv!Business Response

Hello *******, sorry to hear the TVs are having issues. We have reached out to our RMA team to ensure they get your refund sent to you.
Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/10/16) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
No I don't accept the response from the company. I've repeatedly told them that this is for 2 televisions and serial numbers ending in 2560 and 2570 with photo's sent as proof as well. From what I've seen it looks as though the company is sending out a replacement check for $330, but this should be for a total of $659. I've emailed them twice concerning this with no response and I have numerous emails starting from when I first contacted them that I purchased 2 televisions and they both has the same Issues not even turning on now! I also sent them another picture Again of the other serial number yesterday. They are making this situation hard to deal with. Why would the company replace 1 tv and not the other that's clearly damaged and they know that?

I purchased a Onn tv through ******* online on December 01, 2021. The tv arrived on December 08, 2021. I had to move to another place so I let it stay in the box until I moved so it would not get damaged. After I moved I set the tv up in my bedroom. It played fine no problem. After about a week I turned the tv on and it stayed on for 30 minutes and it just cut off and a red light at the bottom were light come. When you cut it on was just blinking and I could not even turn it off with the remote. All of a sudden it came back on and went right back off. I had to unplug it just to cut it off. I have called this number several times 1-844-334-2355. I been waiting for customer service to come on the line. It say a wait time and need customer service be with you. The never come on the line and the phone just cut off this has happen every time I call. This is why I am filing this claim. I want something did about my tv. I want the tv replaced or my money back so I can get a different tv. I purchase a 4yr warranty with this tv and I can not get help from this company. The seem to me to be a scam company.Business Response
