Has anyone ever had any dealings with Pricesmart and their guarantee over electronics?

I bought a Sony Bravia 48" LED TV off them 10 months ago. It's still under guarantee and I have the receipt with the stamp offering a 30 day return and 1 year parts and service guarantee.

Edenorte has taken it's toll on my second TV now. My new Sony will no longer switch on after the power returned with a surge after a blackout. Despite me having a Trace inverter, voltage regulator and a surge protector. Or maybe it's just a coincidence, but my TV is now dead.

I was wondering if anyone has ever had the need of Pricesmart's service. I don't want to waste a journey to Santiago to find that I'll have to wait months for repairs. If that's the case I'd rather void the warranty myself and fix it. My guess is that a capacitor on the power supply board has gone.
