QUESTION 1 45 MARKS – Utilise the system SAS Viya
LG Electronics is a major player in the global consumer electronics industry. LG Electronics’ products include televisions, home theater systems, refrigerators, washing machines, computer monitors, wearable devices, solar modules, smart appliances and, formerly, smartphones.
Recently, LG identified issues in some models of its OLED TVs as they present a risk of overheating and need replacing their power boards. The affected models were sold in South Korea between February 2016 and September 2019. The 18 models affected include the following:
OLED65E6, OLED65G6, OLED77G6, OLED65B7, OLED65C7, OLED65E7, OLED65G7, OLED65W7, OLED77G7, OLED77W7, OLED65G8, OLED65W8, OLED77C8, OLED77W8, OLED65W9, OLED77B9, OLED77C9, OLED77W9
LG has recalled these TV models and offered to repair them for free, stating, “The overheating issue occurred only in very few models out of the total that used the component, but we will provide free component swaps for all of them for customer safety”. The company has already carried out the repair on 22,000 models, but the rest of the repairs would depend on owners making contact with LG or LG finding ways to identify affected owners, particularly through social media platforms. Also, TV models that are too large (above 65 inches screen size) cannot be sent back to LG factory for repairs. Instead, they require repairs to be conducted by a technician at the customer’s homes. To differentiate between its various OLED TVs, LG uses a naming convention as described in figure 1.
