Hmmm, my reading of the settlement (I have one of these sets, though
no failures at 4500+hrs), indicates it quite clearly applies to asl
low as 1 failure. There is an alternative "multiple failures"
remedy which gives you the option of $1000 off a new TV or a
replacement TV. That one requires 3 failures. Nothing specifically
about 2 failures anywhere.

Also see the discussion at:

It does appear to be for lamps, not ballasts. So he may be out of
luck. But I agree he should pursue as you suggested.
