Let’s get down to business:
If you have broken the screen or panel of your TV, whether LED, LCD or plasma … it is a nuisance and a nuisance but a very big one.
Naturally, you will be wondering if this can be fixed and, if so. If it would not be cheaper to replace your broken TV for another one and that’s it.
All these doubts are very common, so here below, I will tell you everything you need to know about it. Let’s get down to business:
Is it possible to fix the screen of a Smart TV?
The screen or panel of a Smart TV generally cannot be fixed, whether it is a LED, LCD, plasma, etc., panel. The broken screen of a Smart TV has to be replaced in its entirety, and such replacement can be done on your own or with the help of a service technician.
So in my opinion, if your TV is broken or broken or rather, has broken specifically the screen or display of this … do not hurry, because everything has a solution.
The question is. What is the best solution for you?
Here below is my opinion on the matter:
What to do when a TV screen breaks?
When the screen of your LED, LCD, or plasma TV breaks, you can choose to replace the broken panel on your own or with the help of a service technician. Another option is to buy a new TV since sometimes it is even cheaper. It is worth noting that from time to time, the warranty covers the repair of a broken LED panel.
Can a broken TV screen be fixed?
As I have already said: no, the repair is generally not possible. What you have to do is to replace the whole broken panel with a new one. Either that or buy a new TV and stop the hassle.
Things you can do with a broken LCD TV
A broken LCD TV is not of much use to those who wish to watch TV or play video games. However, if your LCD screen has color distortion, display problems, or crashed flat, there may still be a couple of things to do with the unit, even if it is no longer capable of performing its original task. Dealing with a broken LCD TV requires a little creativity and an honest assessment of how badly broken the TV really is.
Recycle it
Many older model LCD TVs contain harmful chemicals, such as mercury, which means they should not be set out for the garbage man or thrown in a landfill. In fact, most landfills will not accept materials with toxic components. If your TV is hopelessly broken, take a look at the recycling options available in your city. Generally, you can find a city-sponsored electronics recycling program that accepts LCD screens, or you may be able to return your TV to the manufacturer for recycling.
It Will Repair
There are many television repair stores in the world, and most of them offer some type of LCD repair service. Find a store in your area and explain the situation to them to get an idea of what it may cost to fix your LCD. Some fixes are simple and won’t end up being expensive, while others may amount to more than the television was originally worth. Be realistic with your expectations, and you should be able to make a good decision on whether LCD repair is right for you.
Sell it
If you want to make some money back on your investment, there are some niche buyers who buy broken LCD TVs, repair them and resell them at a profit. Also, some buyers don’t mind a broken TV. For example, buyers don’t care that the speakers don’t work if they are thinking of connecting the TV to a surround sound system. Again, this depends entirely on how broken your TV may be, but if the damage is minor, you may be able to find a buyer through Craigslist, eBay, or a local repair shop.
Do you have a solution?
It turns out that for older TVs and even some that came out later, you could replace some of the parts that broke. You could replace almost everything or at least fix it by repairing it.
But with the new televisions, the thing is more complicated. Okay, you can change some parts, some electronic components, etc. But the screen or better to call it the panel, is another thing.
We are talking about a piece that is attached and must be replaced completely. The problem is that changing that part costs almost the same as buying a new TV of the same characteristics.
And of course, in case you say to repair it paying for the panel, you must think about the warranty that you have left.
