Son hit tv with ball no sound but....picture is fine

Unless you have a warranty or insurance that covers this type of coverage it may be cheaper to buy a new TV.

okay you have to reset your ps3 tell your son to turn ps3 off then hit power button hold your finger on it till it shuts off then hit it again till it beeps twice make sure your tv is on and you HDMI is hooked uo properly it usually beeps twice about 5 to ten s4econds after you hold it a second time for the 2 beeps you have to be quick at this

I assume you meant the screen is now broken.
Some things to consider:

1. Replace the son with one who does not throw golf balls in the house. Ha ha! [jk]
2. Check to see if the warranty (usually online if you don't have the original paperwork) covers screen breakage, or ask the store where you bought the tv if there is anything they can do.
3. If the warranty is a no-go, contact the tv manufacturer and see why they may do... what the cost would be to repair etc. Some screens are covered in case they crack, but it is probably obvious it wasn't a manufacturer's defect if a golf ball hit it.
4. If those steps don't work out, check videos or info online to see if this is a job you or a techie could do - (in last case scenario).
5. If none of these check out, sadly, you might be left with a very large, expensive doorstop.

Good luck.

did the ball hit the screen and is there any cracks on the screen or the screen broke? what had happened.you can get the power back,it needs some repair

He may have caused some type of damage to the picture tube, but usually rainbow effects happen when magnets are present. Perhaps the ball became charged with a large amount of static, which then discharged across the tube, damaging the controlling circuits.

Your pannel has damage by the hit, the only way is to replace the pannel. It is costly if you are in OOW. If it is still in warranty, call service right away and claim for an replacement.

Hi,
unfortunately it can't be repaired the entire panel will need to be replaced, most times the cost of the panel is as much or more then the cost of the tv. My son broke our 42" lcd after had it for only 3 weeks! Not covered under warranty...we had to replace tv. FYI there are companies that sell a clear protective screen for LCDs I bought one and it works great! One such website is www.tvarmor.com but you can google and find alternatives.

you will need to order a new screen for the tv from the waltham site

I had one broken a few months ago. I got a couple quotes.. it was about $200 less then a brand new one. I'd just buy a new one.
For the new TV I'd pickup a screen protector for it. My son threw a toy at my TV the other day and I nearly had a heart attack from the flashbacks. Thank God I picked up one of these a few weeks earlier. It stopped it. LCD screens really break easily as you know. http://www.tv-armor.com

Make sure the setting on the av cable is for tv or hdtv, whatever type of tv your using. I hit that switch so many times, its a pain.

Still not working, disconnect all cables then reconnect.
