Screen cracked from the inside

My Sharp Aquos was damaged during delivery. Because my basement was getting remodeled I only checked the outside for damages. The screen on the outside looks fine, however when the TV is turned on the inside looks like a cracked window. I was thinking that if the only thing wrong is the inner screen maybe this piece could be replaced.

Please help!!

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

It's the LCD panel damage. You need to replace the whole LCD panel to get this problem fixed.

What does it mean on my sharp aquos getting blinking light pattern, 1 short and 1 long?

Have you checked to make sure you don't have a crack on the screen. Static electricity can also cause this. On many large screen TV's this is normal

Inside screen has small crack in it and only getting half of tv

For the cost of the panel, you could purchase a 65" LCD TV with a service contract and delivery. For some reason, Sharp replacement LCD panels have such a cost factor that repair is never economical. It's a sad ordeal, because they do make a reliable product (which I do recommend). I hope this was helpful, best wishes.

My Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U 42 in. HDTV LCD which was bumped into pretty hard and the inside screen on the tv cracked. The crack is only visible when the tv is on can this be fixed or is it garbage

Unfortunatly it is garbage basically.. You can have them repaired using a TV Repair guy but often it costs as much as a brand new LCD. My daughter broke my $1,600 LCD. It would have cost $1,200 to fix.. so I just bought a new one.After that I picked up a TV screen protector called TV Armor http://www.tv-armor.com Its designed to protect the TV from damage. Now I dont have to worry anymore when she is playing near it. It works really well.

Is it possible to get a 46 inch panel for a sharp

If the actual LCD panel is cracked, you don't want to even bother looking for a replacement. It would be either the same cost or more expensive to replace the LCD panel than to buy a brand new one. The other issue is if you are going to attempt to do it yourself, there is a chance that you might inadvertently damage something in the process so you would be out the money you spent on the LCD panel and you would still need to buy a new one. These are called consumer models for a reason. Mass production drops the price of the unit, but replacement parts outside of that mass production sometimes are as expensive if not more expensive than a brand new whole unit and are a lot of time VERY hard to find. LCD's are disposable once the actual panel is damaged.

Screen damaged from fall, colored vert lines on left side from the damge

Unfortunately the LCD panel would need to be replaced. Even if there is not any signs of damage to the outside portion of the panel, one of the inner screens may have been fractured. I am not sure if the panel would be available because if i'm not mistaken Sharp just started making replacement panels.

Possible fixing a broken sharp lcd tv?

It is possible to fix but unfortunately the whole lcd panel is one unit so if it is on the inside or outside the whole thing will have to be replaced. The cost on such a thing is right around 3/4 of the price of the tv.
