Broken Coax connector on samsung un46c8000

If the cable box has an HDMI or video output, use one of them to connect to the TV instead. The female coax connector is not easily repaired and you can't reroute or adapt anything to fix it. You will need to replace the TV main board if the HDMI/video connection is not an option.

If you type Samsung TV Model UN46C8000 into your browser search box , when the page appears look for the following title and click on "Samsung UN46C8000 manual " and follow the instructions . Hope this helps .

You can pick up a chassis mount F connector here...you will need someone with basic soldering skills to replace:

Sorry, I miss-read this post. I orginally thought it said your cable broke, meaning the coax that went to the back of the TV.
The coax input is more than likely a part of the main board. I am not a tv expert but as with laptops and input modules that break you have to soder the peice on or replace the whole board.
Easier to switch to a/v inputs as mentioned in Solution #1.
I could not find a spec sheet for your model but did find this for you to give you an idea on what is entailed in replacing a broken RF connection. This may or may not apply to your model, but here it is anyway.

I would suggest letting someone who is qualified in TV repair fix it.
Here are the service manuals for your Zenith. Download both and then extract to your desktop for easy access. I downloaded and extracted myself to make sure it was a working copy so you are good to go.

Good Luck!

if the remaining piece was not part
of the PC board , which is light yellow
theres a good chance with a soldering iron
and a new female coax from radio shack
you could do it . or pay a shop 75.00 to
reinstall one for you.

you can try to get just the coax replacement , otherwise you will have to get the whole tuner, and the number for the tuner is right on the tuner , but just soldering in a new coax connector is cheaper
good luck and thanks!

This depends on how many available inputs you have on the back of the set. If you have more available you can just hook up the cable box composit (yellow, red, and white cables) if not you will need to replace the rf connector or tuner in the set. let me know if you need more help.

looks like you have to replace the the tuner part (thats the slim silver box where the coax connector was ) if your handy with this solution and can repair it yourself , then you need to go to a SHARP authorized dealer to purchase the part or leave it there for repair . let me know if this helpful, thanks AJ

I looked up the manual for this TV and it has composite (RED, WHITE, YELLOW) and component (RED, GREEN, BLUE) connectors as well.

Are you using a cable or Dish box? If so, those boxes usually have output in Coax, Composite, and Component formats. You could just run that type of cable. If you use Component you will also need another cable set (RED, WHITE) for audio.

If, on the other hand, you do not have a cable box and you are using your TV's tuner you only have two options. You can repair the broken connector or you can route the Coax through an inexpensive VCR which will allow you to convert it to Composite cables. In this case, however, you'll have to use the tuner in the VCR, not the tuner in the TV to change the channel. Sorry it's not the best of news.

I want you to know that I'm not paid for this. It's a strange hobby I know, but I like to help when I can. While I cannot physically repair you TV, I hope you've found this information at least helpful and will rate it positively. If you have more questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, and good luck.

it should be alot to fix all u have to do is buy the coax connector n solder it
