If the panel itself is actually cracked - and not just a cover glass over it (NOT bonded to it) - then forget about it. There is no way to repair it, at least nothing that would be less expensive than replacement.If you can repair it for less than the cost to replace it, then it is worth repairing.We repair televisions, and rarely do we find it worth it to replace the screen on a television. Instead, we usually offer to purchase the television from the customer at half the retail price of the usable parts. Then we resell the parts on ebay.I'd suggest you either sell the TV to someone like us, or take the television apart and do what we do- sell the replacement parts. I will say this- it can take some time for the parts to sell, but eventually- they will.

Flat screens are mucho prone to damage from impact, I found out the same lession. Answered 4 years agoI'm going to assume you are referring to a cracked screen of a flat-screen TV.

Yes I run an electronics repair service specializing in television and computer, and the previous commenter nailed it. Repairing the lcd panel is not cost effective. On rare occassions you can find another TV of the same model that you can switch the internal components out of, but I would not get my hopes up. If this is a flat screen cathode ray or plasma (old TV, then forget it - the screen is the front of the tube, and replacing it costs more than a new TV.
If rear projection, then the screen is just a special glass and is replaceable by a TV repair shop - but unless the TV is bigger than about 25" may well cost more than a new TV. If it is a flat screen LED/LCD monitor type TV, forget it - the display elements (LED's or LCD's) are embedded in the screen, so the majority of the "guts" costs is in the screen. If it is relatively new you might contact the manufacturer. Unless it was broken by impact they might replace it, and even if it was by impact some manufacturers have a flat-rate for each model to replace a broken device with an equivalent rebuilt/remanufactured one, though after shipping charges you are probably better off with a new one. For price comparison check out cost of a new one at your local store or Amazon or whereever (with shipping cost included) - then compare from there. Answered 3 years ago In most cases it is cheaper to purchase a new television rather than repair the screen - unfortunaly some screens go for a price much higher than the iniital cost of ownership!

I have a the 51 inch plasma flat screen TV, has a crack in the screen you can hear the sound but no picture what like to know where can I have my TV repair.
If you look in Browse All Questions, sort by Most Recent, and go back about a half dozen pages, this question has several answers.The general consensus was that for a normal size TV, it is cheaper to replace than fix. However, for a 51" you are looking at about $500-600 current replacement cost (even if you might have paid thousands for it a few years ago), so it might be worth checking out what replacement cost is - could be near the break-even point.Check the manufacturer's website for authorized repair centers. The manufacturer may also have a flat-rate screen replacement price, but I would guess the shipping costs to and from them would make it uneconomic.If you have a very low homeowners/renters insurance deductible, they might cover part of the cost if the crack is accidental, though you also risk having your rate increased for only a few hundred dollars of reimbursement on this claim.If the crack was spontaneous, you might check complaints blogs on the web to see if this might be a mnaufacturing defect, in which case the manufacturer might replace it for free.

What do you do? Should you repair it or replace it? AOL's consumer advisor Regina Lewis offers advice on whether to buy or fix common consumer electronics. PCs and laptopsCommon problems: The problems vary from a bad hard drive to a computer clogged up with so much spyware/adware that it cripples the computer. Cost: Out-of-warranty repair costs are anywhere from $80 to as much as $400. Simply buying a new battery for a laptop can run well over $100. Five years or older desktops tend to break at a slightly higher rate than laptops.I would toss any computer when the repair costs more than half the price of a new one.
You can buy a new desktop system, including monitor and printer for under $500 at certain places. Laptops are more, usually around $1000. And if the item is more than three years old, it's a no-brainer, definitely replace. New computers with the latest features come out and prices drop — it may make more sense just to buy a new one. If you're set on repairing, there are two ways to go about it. One is to go through the PC maker. All major PC manufacturers offer what is called an out-of-warranty service. You call their 800 number, they'll diagnose the problem and they'll walk you through how to fix it, but all at a fee. This would also take a lot of time. You can also call places like “Geek Squad” or your local repair tech and they can make a housecall or you can ship it in. Again, there are time and fees involved. iPodsCommon problems: Two main problems — batteries and a cracked LCD screen. Cost: Apple offers a one-year warranty. After that, you can add on to the warranty for an extra $59 or cheaper in electronic stores like Best Buy.
A battery tends to run around $65 for the repair, while a cracked LCD screen can cost over $100.The basic rule is that when there is one thing wrong with the iPod it makes sense to have it repaired. If you have a combination of issues, you have to think twice about justifying the repair. Remember a brand new iPod nano, with the best features, starts at $189, so your repair has to be way cheaper than the cost of a brand new one. Cell phones and Blackberrys Common problems: Every month over nine million phones are retired. People sign new contracts and get new upgrades. So the life of a phone to a person isn't very long. Technically the main problem is also the battery. Cost: A new battery is usually around $25. Most manufacturers give you a one-year warranty on the battery. But you'll be without your phone for at least a few days. As for the actual phone, unless you bought the equipment plan with the phone, you're on your own.And strongly consider an equipment protection plan so if you lose or break your phone you're covered.
There's really no point in repairing since new phones can be attained with a new service contract at almost every service provider. TelevisionsCommon problems: Display problems are the most common issue as the screen discolors or burns out. The display in a regular LCD flat panel is designed to last 40,000 viewing hours. That's about 20 years for the average TV viewer. But if a problem arises and you're out of your warranty, repairs can cost as much as a new TV. Cost: Here is where you really want to consider an extended warranty. Retailers offer, for larger electronics like televisions, an extended warranty at usually 15% of the cost of the item. Average TV repair costs are about $500, and when you start repairing the new plasmas that price goes up. When you're paying thousands for a TV to begin with, that warranty might save you money in the long run.TV prices have been dropping almost as fast as PC prices. The overall rule of thumb, as is the case with any product, is to nix any repair that costs more than half the price of a new one.
