I was a fixya contributor for over 6… I was a fixya contributor for over 6 years. I complained about not being able to "ignore" spammers and their posts. I am now unable to post on ANYTHING! ..I can read but never comment! ... FIXYA is now a spam site IMO!

Received email 7 years after OP I now received an email 7 years after I posted my initial question regarding a Samsung “Smart” TV that was only 3 years old and started having picture issues. I was confused for when I clicked on the “updated help” a Server Error 404 - File or directory not found. I’m not sure if FixYa is a valid site anymore or if it was in the first place.

DO NOT USE this site DO NOT USE this site, they offer a 1 euro joining fee, then immediately draw a hidden charge of $39 on top and set this up as a monthly charge. The "technician" suggested blatantly obvious potential fixes like turning the oven off for 20 minutes, then suggested it could be various other parts that have failed...what, buy every part until it s fixed? straw clutching at best, AVOID!!!!

Steals answers from other websites Steals answers from other websites. Adds a shoddily placed ''source'' without mentioning what parts they took from where, and then have the audacity to ask you to pay for their service if you want actual help. Full of plagiarism and seeks to abuse the unknowing or unwitting by offering 'easy' help that really won't lead you anywhere a simple Google search wouldn't have brought you.

Fixya or 6ya Fixya or 6ya. They're the same. Posted question on Fixya over 2 years ago. Only "answer" was link to 6ya who wanted to sell subscription before looking at question to see if they actually had answer. Not trustworthy. Fixya gets around their statement of not charging for answers by referring customers to 6ya. Question has been listed as "Solved" but that "solution" was the reference to 6ya.
