Well assuming the fault was the result of an inherrent defect (which unless she was abusing the tv it was) then the TV would still bee covered by a garentee, the consumer protection act and the sale of goods act. which simply states that a product should bee free from faults and suitable specs for a "resonable period". for a tv in that price range the resonable period would bee 2-3 years
. Also the biggest problem with extended warrentee is that they are over priced for what they do. for £60 you could get a warrente direct from an insurance company that would cover 3-4 products
