My daughter accidentally threw the wii remote into the tv screen. It seemed to have cracked the screen on the inside. All of the colors appeared as though they were streaking down the screen and then the entire screen became black. It is a LC HD tV. Canit be repaired?

You can have them repaired using a TV Repair guy but often it costs as much as a brand new plasma. 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.

If this is a plasma set (I don't have a parts listing for a 42px5d), then the panel needs to be replaced. It can not be repaired. The panel will likely cost almost as much as a replacement set. Check with a local servicer for the parts cost BEFORE you request an estimate. They should be able to give you a parts cost without you incurring an estimate fee.

Based upon that info, determine whether or not to repair the set.

I accidentally threw the Wii remote at my 46 inch Sony Bravia LCD HDTV, the screen is not damaged on the outside, but is damaged o the inside. is this repairable? how do i find a replacement panel?

how do you ACCIDENTLY THROW a wii at a TV?

were you not using the wrist strap?

well yes new panels are available, but you might want to trade your Wii in and anything else of value to pay for it.

Contact any Sony outlet or even repair centre, even better have them repair it as it is not all that easy.

CRACK LCD TV SCREEN

I don't have a listing for your model, but it is not unusual for the panel to cost more than a replacement set. As another example, the replacement tube (CRT) for a 27" Sony set can easily be $700. This was when these sets were being sold for $350!! Parts is where these companies rake in big profits. Don't blame the servicer for this one.

Sorry about the bad news.

Replacement LCD?

When the display is cracked Sony charges a dud fee in additional to the cost of the replacement panel that is about the same price or more than the replacement LCD panel. They can't refurbish a defective. Add to that about $400 for in-home labor, then taxes and the repair will cost the same or more than a new TV. Example, $1200 panel cost, $1500 non-return of rebuildable dud, $400 labor, Taxes = $3300+

If you could replace the panel yourself, all you would save is the labor cost and the tax on labor charges.

Basically if any flat panel screen (LCD or Plasma) is physically damaged, the TV set is junk. They do make pretty abstract art pieces though. You could sell the whole set for parts on Craigslist or eBay, but don't expect to get much.

CRACK LCD TV SCREEN

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

CRACK LCD TV SCREEN

The LCD panel will have to be replaced. Contact a Philips service agent for cost.

The cost of a replacement screen will probably outweigh the cost of a replacement TV.

If you have household insurance, it should cover accidental damage.

65wp94 / broke glass

It's the display screen. The 65v glass mirror is inside the cabinet that reflects the image onto the screen. I think what you want is the front display screen....... and a leather belt.
