Will this t-cut out?

[Andybtsn]

My lovely kids have managed to do this tonight, booted a ball at a small speaker that had hit the screen and caused a mess.

It's a 6 year old Pana, but it does a good job and is 65", something I could do without replacing. Need I entertain the idea that it could be fixed?

New panel required

Ooft

Sadly probably not worth fixing, will need a complete new panel which will cost more than it's worth, and probably near enough cost what a replacement TV would cost. Only real way would be getting lucky buying a second hand one with a dead PCB or something and making a good one out the two.

Reality is, a full replacement is going to be the best option.

I nearly had a panic attack the other day when my daughter lifted up a chair and swung it inches away from my 65" OLED Luckily the plasma TV we had before that had a nice tough glass screen which took all the abuse from when she was young.

Can I hire your kids?

I need an excuse to go from gt30 to oled. But TV is still fine. So I don't want to upgrade!

Not unless you have home insurance that covers everything in your home against accidental damage

Oh yeah not for keeps!

 

[MatsyLR]

Would you concider giving up the kids? I'm sure somewhere will take them.

Worth entertaining this, depending on excess values.

Looked up when renewing house insurance what accidental damage covered.
With excess decided it wasn't worth it. There were some caveats that made it for me not worth while.

Different if you have kids!

Haha yeah for sure. Although my mother in law did take a ~£15k picture down to clean, then didn't put it back up right. We were woken up at 8am one Saturday morning to a loud bang as a lorry went over a speedbump outside.

It was lying face down with shattered glass everywhere



EDIT - Just to clarify we don't have lots of hugely valuable artwork! I bought it for £4k because i got some inheritance and loved the picture, and Castle Galleries now claim it's worth £15k, i'm sure it isn't actually!

Yeah most expensive single item I own is my bike (insured separately) but everything else is not worth it.
I can't think of anything I've ever broke accidentally that's been over 100.

I can't remember the exact exclusion that put me off.

Only art I have is displates. And if u break my lego.. Well. It's lego!
