Coax input connector

You don't give much information. Coax from what broke off? TV antenna, or from something like a DVD or Dish or DIRECTV? Depending on where it came from, you might be able to use ylw, white, and red. If wherever the coax comes from has those outputs, simply use a ylw, red, and white cable and run to an available input on your TV. Having a VCR and DVD player already hooked up makes no difference whatsoever, as long as you have more inputs available. If you are out of inputs on your TV, you can buy a "video switch box" which allows you to use only one input on your TV, which keeps you from switching the TV input back and forth, by pushing a button on the "video switch box" to choose DVD, VCR, Dish, or whatever. (Yellow is video, red and white are left and right sound). Or, you might have red, blue, and green out put on your device. If you do, run them (using a cable with the same color scheme) to the appropriate input on your TV. BUT: you can get a new coax cable with connectors on each end for a couple dollars most anywhere, that would be easiest.

you can use your rca connectors for your cable if your cable box have rca all you need is rca jacks if you don't have a box and all you have is the coax , then you can use a vcr or a dvd with coax input and rca output "hope i explain this right {" tv-----rca's--2---rca jack output vcr ---coax input ---hook up coax CABLE

Cut off the bad connector on the end of the coax cable. Go to Radio Shack, Home Depot, etc. and pick up a new twist-on coax connector, or a crimp on version if you have a crimping tool.

Twist the new coax connector on good and tight and you should be good to go.

You'll need to take it to a repair shop. There are high voltage capacitors inside a television which will hold a charge even after all power is removed. I would highly advise against making this repair yourself.

1st, what kind of Tv Box ? with SCART Connector? or RCA Connector?
2nd, the recoder has a Scart connector or Females Rca connectors.
check for Video IN and L/R input Rca Connector
then use a Scart/RCA cable to connect DVD to TV Box.

If you are comfortable doing some small repair work, you might be able to fix this with stuff you have laying around.

All you need is:
1 - 8" piece of coaxial cable with male connector on one end
1 - set of RCA cables (Red/White/Yellow)
1 - coaxial coupler
2 - small wire nuts

electrical tape

Take the back housing off of your TV. You may have to unscrew the small nut holding the threaded connector to the TV. This threaded connector should connect to the motherboard with a male RCA prong that should be soldered to the component on the motherboard. You will need to carefully cut
& remove the old soldering & wiggle the connector off. This is the hardest part, but it WILL come off with a little trying.

Now get your coax cable and strip off about 2" of the black outside housing ONLY. Your solid copper` interior cable should be protected by a small plastic coating which is covered in braided wire. You'll need to be careful not to cut the braiding off. Untangle the braiding down to where your cut stops and try and get it all on one side of the cable so you can twist it all together and make a nice wire. Now strip about an inch off of your interior plastic sheathing to reveal the small solid copper wire on the very inside.

Get your RCA cable and cut about 6" off of the one yellow side. Follow the same process above to get a braided sheathing wire and a solid copper wire. Attach this yellow wire to the coaxial cable by twisting the two braided wires together and the two solid copper wires together. Use your wire nuts & electrical tape to secure your connections making sure none of the wires can touch each other.

Connect the yellow cable's male prong into the component on the motherboard and attach your coaxial coupler to the male end of your coaxial cable. If you saved the small nut from earlier, you can re-attach this new coupler to the housing on your TV. Screw your housing back on the TV and you should be good to go.

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.

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.

If your cable converter box has audio/video connections on the back of it,you don't need to worry about using that RF coax connector. Just hook it up the same way your DVD is hooked to the TV input jack. Get a 3-wire cable (yellow-red-white)hook it to the same colors on the back of the cable box and hook the other end to an unused input on the back of the TV. Then select that input with your remote and watch TV.
