can you fix lcd screen on tv made in china

Unfortunately, in most cases, you cannot fix a broken TV screen. TV manufacturers do not sell screen replacements, and there is no secondary market for used screens. That’s because the screen is the most expensive part of the TV, by far. Replacing it would cost more than buying a new TV!

In many cases, your local electronics or TV repair shop won’t even consider working on your broken TV screen. They know that it’s just not worth their time.

If you bought your TV recently, chances are incredibly high that it came from China. Specifically, the BOE Technology factory in Hefei, the capital of China’s Anhui Province.

The BOE factory, where most US TV screens are made today, is almost a mile long and cost about 7 BILLION dollars to build! Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio, etc. all buy their TV screens from BOE.

“Liquid Crystal display screens are made by putting two thin sheets of glass together. On one of the sheets transistor “cells” formed by first depositing a layer of indium tin oxide (ITO), an unusual metal alloy that you can actually see through. That’s how you can get electrical signals to the middle of a screen.

Then you deposit a layer of silicon, followed by a process that builds millions of precisely shaped transistor parts. This patterning step is repeated to build up tiny little cells, one for each dot (known as a pixel) on the screen. Each step has to be precisely aligned to the previous one within a few microns. Remember, the average human hair is 40 microns in diameter.”

This is the number one reason your TV screen is so costly – they are incredibly challenging to build, and as a result there are only a few companies in the world that make them.

I’ve also heard that only 1 out of every 3 TV screens pass testing at the END of the manufacturing process. That means 2 out of every 3 screens made are worthless!

The screens are made in China and then have to be shipped across the world to be sold in the US. The cost to ship them is high, and a lot of damage can happen during the journey.

So the complexity, and shipping both contribute to the high cost of TV screens. It’s why no one sells the screen separately, it just doesn’t make financial sense.

If your TV screen has an imperfection, discoloration, lines, streaks, spots, etc., then there is a good chance that your warranty will cover it (if it’s within the allotted time period). Most TV warranties are in place for the first year, and they cover these types of manufacturer defects.

And the even better news here is thatthe majority of issues you’re likely to encounter with your TV will happen within the first year (when you’re covered by the manufacturer).

You can always try selling it. Your broken TV isn’t worth much, but to the right person, it’s worth something. Someone who knows what they are doing will take your TV apart, and sell off each individual piece.

Technically, you could do this yourself, but it’s time consuming and you risk damaging the parts. I wouldn’t bother. Instead, try listing the whole TV for sale. Getting something for a broken TV it is better than nothing.

If it turns out no one is willing to buy it, you can try listing it on those same marketplaces for free!Tons of people usually respond when they can get something for no cost, even if it’s broken.

Find a local electronics recycler. There are a lot of these out there. You can look up the closest one to you using Earth911’s website. Type in “TV” and then your Zip Code to find the nearest option to you. Once you find the closest location, you just have to drop off your TV.

Local electronics stores typically recycle products that they sell. A great example of this is Best Buy. They have a nationwide recycling program. But keep in mind, they will charge you a small fee!

Your town likely collects e-waste. Check out your town/cities trash website and see what their policies are for electronic waste. Some towns have special pick up days, others have drop off locations. I would just call your city’s public works department and ask for a place to recycle or dispose of old electronics.

Buy a TV screen protector. You can buy a screen that covers your TV and protects it against damage, and many are waterproof! These provide great added protection from possible bumps and contact with liquids from pets and children.

Mount your TV on the wall.This way your television is up off the ground, and out of reach. It won’t stop your kids from throwing a toy at it, but at least they can’t bump into it, or accidentally knock something, or someone into it.

Don’t allow video games. This might sound harsh (especially for the kids), but I’ve heard too many stories of Nintendo Wii controllers being accidentally thrown at the TV. If you don’t hook up a video game console to your TV, this can’t happen.

Most TV repair shops won’t even bother trying to fix a broken screen. In the end, between a screen replacement and the repair costs, you’d spend the same amount for a brand new TV!

If your TV is cracked or damage because of something you did, your warranty is unlikely to cover it. In that case, consider selling your broken TV or disposing of it.

Hi. My brother received his LG86UN85 tv with a damaged screen. It was replaced by LG with little issue without the hassle of returning the original ( Yay LG!) Now I am wondering how much it will cost to replace such a big screen and whether it would work out better to just buy new. Ideas?

I have a vizio 65″ model M656-G4 had it one day leg broke and hit coffee table.Had the insurance but they won’t cover it,walmart won’t cover it and Vizio won’t even answer me.So how much and where can i get a screen? mine is not cracked but has a dent and the picture is messed uo

I have a 55 inch Roku as you and have a cracked screen. Did you find a reply for getting the screen repaired? I have no idea how to find the screen to repair? Any assistance you provide I am thankful.

I have a 55′ Class 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV that has fallen over on the edge of the bed. Now it has a small crack on the inside and a light blue line going across the screen. Is this screen possible to get fixed and will it be expensive?

three vertical lines in my panasonic viera 39 inch led tv. left side corner two blue vertical lines and half middle of left side one green vertical line appearing in the tv. what problem i don’t know. but tv is working good. other problem nothing shown in the tv. what can i do? i am worried of that.

I have a Samsung model# UN55F6350AF / Version # WH04. The front screen is severely broken. It does power up and lights up in only about 50% of the screen. I do hear sounds as i adjust volume ,etc… So my question is can i replace broken LCD screen? Do you have a screen i can purchase? I have looked up part but am having hard ti.e finding. Your video was very imformational but would like to see how the front screen comes apart. Thanks!

I have not tried this yet. A friend told me that the larger size Vizio television screens are actually made by the same company that makes the Samsung screens.

just one month old.sony 60 ANDROID HDR MODEL NO KD-60XF83xx damage from inside?its in warranty but neither sony care or the seller help us..don’t know what to do?

I have a Insignia LCD TV (Model No: NS-554D20NA16) which fell off from the wall and I can see the cracks all over the screen. Can I replace the screen by myself.? Where can I find the screen and procedure to replace.?

I believe you might just be out of luck. The odds of finding a replacement screen for your tv and not spending an arm and a leg will be very, very high. Did you happen to find one? The reason I am asking is that I also have a P652ui-b2 and the tv turns on for a few minutes and then shuts itself off. I see no backlights or anything. I believe I may have a cabling issue inside the tv or panel issue. I have tried replacing all the boards but have come up empty. Do you still have this tv? I may need some parts and finding parts for this tv has become a never-ending search.

I cant find a screen replacment anywhere for my Haier MODEL 32D3005 i tried the web site show here but they dont have it if anyone know of any other website and yes i tried google but still cant find one pls let me know thanks

The same thing happen to me yesterday with my 60 inch Samsung Smart TV. The screen was cracked on the inside because it was to hot. I just turned the Tv on and there is the crack on the bottom middle and they are stating that this is cause by physical damage and are not repairing it and all I did was turn it on and their stating its not under warranty because the inside is cracked so its my fault….how can they assume its my fault when all I did was turn it on and they didn’t even look at it….omg seriously. I am SO furious that I just lost 600$ and only had this TV for 6 months. I have an Emerson flat screen and this is still in working condition over 5 years and still going. I will never ever buy a Samsung TV again due to how they treat their customers. They just got a free 600$ from me. I did not break my screen, I kept it always clean, I take really good care of my stuff. I dont know what else to do, if it was my fault I understand but it’s not.

Which is mounted to wall and been there for the past 3-4 months. The tv got so hot that i could smell the plastic burning, ive touch the edge of tv unit which caused a burn to my hand and a crack in screen .

Ive been talking to samsung and they sent out a technician and in his report he put down crack is due to impact therefor samsung will not replace or fix my tv . I know 100% that there was no impact. After the crack had appeared i could only see half tv screen working and by time servive tech arrived i had no screen, so now im stuck with a non working samsung smart tv 60inch

Hi my curved TV has the screen cracked on the outside of it from a remote being throw at the screen.

I have a 72″ Vizio model number E701i-A3 and it was hit with a playstation remote on the bottom by my son.

I have a Samsung 55″ 4K smart TV and by the sound of your description it has cracked from the inside. Now I have a white screen. The TV is over 2 years old so I am not covered under manufacturers warranty. I want to try to fix it because it was an expensive TV. So far every TV repair store I’ve called has told me they cannot repair because it cost the same as buying a new one. Would I be able to change the screen and repair it myself? DO you have a link where I can buy a screen?

I have a Visio 65″ 4K. Just moved and turned it on to find cracks but the screen outside does not appeared cracked when off. The model number P652ui-b2. Where can I find a screen replacement part numbe?

i had this very same problem. my inner screen cracked not even a month after getting the tv. it has manufactures warranty and i bought the shop warranty (although that doesnt start til the year is up). i got the company to send someone out to repair it and the guy said theres an impact site so it wont be covered by the manufacture or the company (didnt find out til then that wasnt covered for accidental damage) even though no one had been anywhere near the tv.

My husband and i just spent $350 on a brand new 55 inch Roku TCL 4K LED Smart tv and as we were putting the legs on it my son came and banged on it, nothing looked outta place until we plugged it in and turned it on, the led screen is cracked and we are looking for a not super costly replacement screen or decently price repair shop that will repair it without charging an arm and a leg.

I have a 50″ samsung flat screen. Cracked screen when you turn it on you can hear that it does turn on but shows nothing. Where can i get a replacement screen.

I have a Samsung model code UN46d8000YFXZA, version No. H302, S/N Z2ZE3CYB900091J. It was damaged a few years ago by a marble and seems to be below the surface affecting the screen, but not the glass. I never got rid of the tv as this was very expensive and this occurred shortly after it was purchased in hopes of one day finding a way to fix. Attempts a few years ago were fruitless.

I have a 50″ smart Roku and my son threw my daughters chapstick at it and I think the screen is cracked inside. When it’s off it looks brand new and when it’s on it shows double screens horizontal. Any suggestion?

I have a 55″ L55F243N3CV1 telefunken smart led tv in Nairobi , Kenya needing a replacement screen. It broke while new on transit from Germany. Where can l get one at a reasonable price?

Thank you for the response. I contacted Samsung and I’m waiting on a response. They should be able to take a look at it and get it fixed. Just seems like no one can repair it except Samsung.

I have Samsung curved 4k TV. My son thew a toy and cracked it on the top of the tv now there is black line down the tv. I am not worried about the crack. Its small crack just wanted to know if the black line can be repaired.

I have a 32″ TCL roku smart TV. The screen is broken, is there another brand if screen that it uses? I cannot find its replacement online and the manufacturer does not supply it.

If your Philips LED TV fell off the wall and cracked internally, it will not be covered by warranty. Did you get any type of extended warranty when you purchased it? If so you can make a claim and usually any kind of damage in any form is covered. If you do not have an extended warranty, you will need to find out what is broken and what needs to be replaced. Specialty TV parts can be purchased online.

My Philips Led TV which is just 2 months old, fell off the wall yesterday. It is fine from outside but when I turn the TV on, the screen has cracked from inside and darkened too. My TV has 3 years warranty. Is there anyway by which we can get it repaired under warranty?

My brother threw a remote at my Sanyo plasma TV. It’s not cracked from the outside visibly but when you turn it on there’s a fat crack with complete darkness with multicolored lines. I don’t know what to do.

Hi, I have a 31.5″ Sanyo HDTV with LCD screen. My tv worked fine when power went off. I think they were working on power lines outside. Later that night I turned tv on and top left corner looked like a spider web. But you could still see tv picture through it. I couldn’t find my warranty papers so I put tv back in original box and stored it. I took it out to put in extra bedroom and tv has lines and looks like liquid pouring in screen. There is no visible damage to screen. So I don’t think anything hit the tv. The tv is only 3 years old and has wifi, netflix, etc on it. I hate to junk it if it’s worth fixing. I paid $350 for tv. Any advice?

If the TV is cracked from the inside, a new screen will be needed to fix the rainbow lines. Try looking online for an aftermarket screen and you may find one for less than OEM.

How do I fix my 60″ lg smart tv .it is displaying rainbow lines down and flashing across. It was hit when you turn the tv on you can see where it was hit .I believe it’s cracked inside

It should work for some time…. just depends how bad the internal crack is. If it not distorting your view, let it go as it should be okay as long as the TV is not hit or knocked over again. However… heat may make the crack bigger and make the TV unviewable. If the TV is left on for a long time, it may heat the area up and make the crack worse. Keep an eye on it and if the crack gets larger, you may need to replace the screen or get a new TV.

Our samsung lcd tv has a star looking “crack” apparently in the internal screen . It was hit by a toy. The tv is still working fine but in the corner it looks like a rainbow colored star. How long is the tv going to last in your opinion before it completely goes?

OMG. Thank you so much remove and replace.com. When I first contacted the warranty people they gave me a very quick no that’s it that’s all get off my phone response. Today I contacted them and just using your advice come to find out indeed I am covered and they will be shipping me my box and label within the next five days. I am very grateful for your site, you guys are the greatest..Thanks again.

Was the screen on your Element TV hit or did the TV fall over? If so then the warranty will not cover the crack. If you can prove that the screen was not hit and the screen crack was caused by a heat related issue, then at times they will cover it but the process will take some time. If the inside screen is cracked and not the outer screen, you can say the crack is a heat related issue and therefore is a defect in the screen or TV boards heating up. Was the TV hit or did it fall over?

I have a 40 inch Element HD TV, the inside screen is cracked and its getting worse. How can I save my television set event though I have a warranty. They say it does not cover cracked screens. Please help!

I have a 55 inch samsung smart tv , going thru setup the picture is fine . When changing to all inputs the right side of the screen has a great pic but no color.

I just bought a 70 inc skyworth smart tv two weeks ago and already cracked the screen. The top half of the screen is lined but the bottom is perfect. The crack is in the upper right hand side in the corner. Any idea of what I may need to replace just by what I have told you so far? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I was watching a show and i accidentally threw my phone at my tv and now there’s lines on the screen but the screen isn’t cracked. Can anyone help me out?

I have a Sony Bravia KDL-50W800B with a cracked screen. I understand LG makes these screens but I cannot locate a replacement. Does anyone know where I can get a new screen.

I have a SamsungLN46C 650. Over the last year the HDMI ports have loosened & caused vert lines. I corrected this by slightly adjusting them each one eventually quit working. Now none work so i have no signal. I want to solder these back and have experience soldering. The tv is 6 years old. Good idea to try to repair this myself?

I just bought a 60′ Sony tv and I accidentally hit the screen while trying to attempt to move it, the screen shattered and it’s not covered under the warranty. Can anyone fix it?

Oh no. My husband just forked out $600 on a new TV and we were all so excited. We’ve had it for 2 weeks but my son with autism just threw something at the TV while having a tantrum and now we only see half the screen and it looks all cracked. Devastated. We will try to be creative and fix it.

No picture or tv stations nor will it let even noise come through when I change the source by stepping through it, I tried to look at the screen for letters, but do not see any.

I bought a lg 50LN5100-ub a few years ago. My son threw a soft toy at it and it looks like the outside screen is busted but it’s not it’s all on the inside. I was wondering if i could send you a picture of it and tell me what it might be so I can fix it. I was doing some research and it says that it’s probably the t-con board but I want to get another opinion before I buy one.

Yes a 24 inch Vizio that has a busted screen should simply be replaced…. sell it on an online classified website and maybe you can get some money for the other parts that are still working.

I have the exact same problem with my Samsung 60 inch UN60J6200AFXZA set which is barely 6 months old. It took a slight bump to the front screen, didn’t leave any visible damage to the outside, but supposedly cracked the internal portion causing vertical colored lines and missing images.

I have an Emerson LF501EM5F 50″ Class 1080p LED HDTV and am looking for a screen replacement for it. It is the front screen that needs to be replaced and I can not find one any where. Does anyone know where I can get on and about how much they are.

I accidentally hit my 60 inch TV today and it looks like the internal screen is broken, no damage to the outside at all, I have vertical lines on half the screen and the broken glass effect in the corner, if I was to buy a repair kit from amazon or ebay, will this work? I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

I have a Sony KDL-32BX310, has no picture or sound. Power light turns from red to green when powered up (no flash codes). Screen shows dim backlight, goes off for about 2 seconds then back on to the dim backlight. I have tried several audio and video inputs. No on screen menus showing. I checked several power inputs from supply to main board, several showing, tough with no schematic. Changed the main board with a used part (supposed to be good??), thinking this is the only component that could prevent audio and video. Possible power supply? I checked your site for boards for this TV and not available at this time. I read the eprom has to be flashed with board change (I installed the exact same part number) so I don’t see why a flash is needed.

Have 32″ Philips LCD TV. Was watching it while it was sitting on the carpeted floor and it got knocked forward. It didn’t hit hard, the picture is still perfect but now it is only Black and White (no color). I hooked up another TV to the source and it’s color.

I was moving My Sony 48 inch Flat screen to another room. My knee was against the screen. When i turned it on there was a rainbow coloring area where it had been touching my knee.

I have here two Samsung LCD 32 inch model LA32D403E2 that has tiny horizontal lines but the second one will show very well for about five to ten minutes and start pouring white dews on the screen.

A Samsung UHD TV 40 Inch replacement screen is possibly available on eBay. There are usually broken Samsung TVs selling that have other issues besides the screen. Buy one of the same TVs that you have that has a different issue. Then make one good TV out of the 2. Here is a link to some broken Samsung TVs that are selling in eBay.

Samsung UHDTV 40 INCHES with model code UE 40JU 6400 KXZT. I have a broken screen. Can I get the replacement screen on the ebay? How much is the cost?

If you are going to have to spend the same amount to fix your Samsung 32 inch, you can buy a brand new one (probably a bigger TV as prices are going down) or find parts online or locally.

My Samsung 32 inch LED Television has fallen from my desk and now the screen is cracked and has lines. It looks like the above first photo. I called to a repair workshop and they told me to change the complete screen. The screen cost is same as the TV cost. So kindly help me how to fix it?

I have a Samsung LED TV Model# UE55D7000LSXXN and all of sudden appeared vertical lines on the right side of the screen. Do you think that I have issues with the T-CON board, can I just replace it?

The inner screen of your Samsung 60 inch is most likely damaged and will need to be replaced. And yes it will most likely cost more to replace the screen than get a new TV.

My two year old threw a toy at our 60 inch Samsung LCD tv. We have sound but no picture. There is no visible external damage, but where it was hit there are thin vertical rainbow stripes about 4 inches tall and wide. Trash? Thanks for any help you can provide.

It looks just like someone shot a hole through the glass. However, there is no physical damage at all – the screen is intact, and it hasn’t been hit by anything.

I have a jvc lcd tv my daughter stuck a butter knife between the black plastic edge and the tv screen and bow there is a black spot where the knife was and a small thin horizontal white lone and a little thicker vertical pinkish line the screen is not cracked just black spot and lines how can I fix this?

I have a Vizio M3D550KD LED TV that is less then 2 years old and I am getting light horizontal lines with a vertical grid. At the same time the picture will freeze for a second and the sound is good. When I first power up the TV the picture is almost normal for around 30 seconds. I removed the back and reseated the cables and it didn’t help. Any ideas?

If the Samsung TV screen was hit with a wood stick, then it is cracked and the only solutions are to buy a replacement screen or a new TV. Figure out which is cheaper and go that route.

If the screen is actually cracked on your Sony 32 inch TV, you will need to replace it. You can search online for a SONY replacement screen and you may find one cheap enough to justify fixing your broken Sony TV.

Has the TV recently been hit or made contact with something? Any indentations on the screen or visible cracks? When you switch your Samsung 8000 55inch TV from Normal mode view to 4:3 does the colored horizontal line shrink with the picture? Please explain in detail and we can point you in the right direction if you may need a new board, etc.

I have a Samsung 8000 series 55″ LED TV and it’s about 7 years old. Recently it has developed a horizontal light colored line that runs from left to right. The further to the right the fainter it gets and at the last 10″ or so the screen is normal and no line is visible. The line on the left has some minor color in and seems to change with the picture it but is mostly white and gets fainter as it moves right. If i set the picture to 4:3 it seems to track to the picture size and is not in the black areas. Samsung Model# UN55B800XFAA

Can you tell us if the screen has any visible cracks when the TV is either ON or OFF? Did the screen get hit? Or did the metal toy apply static to the TV and this issue resulted? Usually lines indicate a circuit board issue and large black spots on your TV screen indicate a faulty screen.

Yes the outer plastic screen on your Vizio 43″ LED TV can be replaced. Find them here at ShopJimmy TV Vizio Parts and type in your model number or find your model number in the list and the parts available for your TV will be shown.

I have a 43″ Vizio led TV. The plastic on the screen was scratched deeply by my daughter. It did not Crack or hurt the inner screen in anyway so just cosmetic damage. Is it possible to just replace the plastic screen?

I have a Samsung UN40H5003 40-Inch (39.5″ Measured Diagonally) 1080p LED TV (2014 Model) that I purchased not over a month ago. My son touched it with a metal toy and now it’s got green lines and a huge black spot on the screen. Can this be replaced or do I have to buy a new tv?

My tv is samsung smart led tv 32″..it has cracked on its screen when it is plugged..most of the screen is dark..but you xan see a visible cracked inside..but the sound is good..what will i do?

My 3yr old son threw a plastic toy into the screen of my 60inch led lcd 3d tv now theres vertical and horizontal line in the middle part where the toy hit do you think its as good as gone?

If your LG TV has vertical lines that are changing colors and you heard a “popping” noise while watching the TV, then this is most likely the T-con board (Timing Control Board) has a bad cap or another board has a capacitor on it that is bad. Check to see if you can find an obvious sign of a bad cap on any board. If so, replace the cap. Also, check to be sure all ribbon cables are connected and they are not damaged. If you cannot find a popped cap, then the T-con is most likely causing your issue from what you have explained. As long as the LCD panel is not cracked or broken, then a board or bad cap is causing the issue.

FYI – The T-CON board is the part of the LCD screen, it relays messages between the device’s processor and the display. The T-CON board synchronizes different parts of the screen with the info it gets from the processor. If the T-CON board malfunctions then the timing between parts of the board is disrupted and this leads to both horizontal and vertical lines that will display on the screen. It can also cause pixelation issues on your TV screen.

I have an lg 55lv5500 LED LCD. I have power, sound and picture. However, the picture has vertical lines that are discolored over the whole screen (blacks are green, etc.). I have taken off the back and when I unplug the smaller LVD cable connected to the left of the TCon board, the picture clears but every other vertical line is black (meaning the vertical lines that are displayed when I do this appear to be the correct color). Is the LCD or the TCon board bad? Suggestions on how to further diagnose the problem? While I wasn’t present, my wife who was watching at the time said she heard a “pop” when the problem originated.

I really need advice and wondering to see if my TV can get repaired. My TV fell on the edge of my couch n now when its on doesn’t show picture but half black screen and colorful lines like it got hit with a dime size rock. Doesn’t show outside damage at all just only when the TV is on. I’m not around my TV now but I have all the info for it its a 50in Samsung 6500 4K Ultra HD have a picture.

The colored lines and horizontal and vertical lines issue with your Samsung TV could be caused by a cracked screen. If the screen is not cracked, it could be a bad inverter, bad ccfl, etc. You may also have bad capacitors on the main board. Check the main board and check the capacitors for bulging.

We have a Samsung LED TV, now its is showing colour lines, and black lines, both in horizontal and vertical, can the screen be replace, or make it correct, need some advice!

Thanks for your reply, the person who was supposed to lift the TV gently had pressed with his thumb on the last third of the right corner about 30 cm from right edge, which had resulted defective black triangle in that area, then from edges of the triangle vertical and horizontal lines appeared just as shown in the links below: Am not sure if this damage is fixable, if it can you please guide me to.

If the TV was pressed down on hard, something behind the screen (board, hardware) has made contact with the screen or the screen may have been cracked, or “pushed in”. You will need to determine where the damage is and replace parts from that point. You can find TV replacement parts online for a decent price if you do some research.

I have an LED TV – VESTEL SMART 40FA7100 40″ LED 27. During pickup from shop my friend pressed strongly on right hand side corner while TV was off. But after I switched it ON, a black area appeared on right corner with horizontal and vertical black/colored lined from right-to-bottom left and from top-to-bottom down. Now the only lines free visible area is about 2/3 of the screen while rest is covered with crossing lines. VESTEL service apologized for not covering such damage by warranty. Can this damage be fixed with minimum cost??

I have a 65″ Seiki 4K LED tv, it’s just over a year old. It has recently developed a shadow of sorts, it is circular but seems to be attached to the bottom of the screen. Within the shadow are slight vertical lines. It is not always notable but is always there. It is most apparent when there is a dark picture, such as an underwater scene, and the contrast is quite obvious. The size is about 20″ in diameter, but does not seem to be getting bigger. Obviously out of warranty, I am wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it. I have fixed computer screens, but don’t know how these bigger screens work.

If screen is cracked it will need to be replaced. Check eBay for a new screen. Search craigslist for the same TV that has another issue you can get cheap and use that screen or switch components to get one working TV for less than a new TV would cost.

Son dropped power works and audio but screen looks craked internally and externally… Basically looks like example you have on this web portal… I need help?!

Please, I need to replace my screen. It fail down and the screen was broken. Make is Samsung LED TV. Model: UA32EH4003R. Type no: UA32EH4003. S/n: MQQW3YDF321995N. Where can I get the screen and at what cost?

With any TV with a cracked screen, the only way to repair it is to replace the screen. Depending on the size of your Samsung TV screen size, the cost for a replacement screen will vary.

It’s no coincidence that the warm weather we are having these past few days, 80’s instead of 60’s, that the tv is working better. So maybe I take it apart and check all connections. And then hopefully it works long enough to get me to summertime. This Sony is 6 yrs old and I believe it is not LED but fluorescent back lighting.

2. 4 horizontal sections of the screen are visible and the upper two sections do crazy flickering. After warming up, the dark goes away, and the 4 distinct horizontal sections are not visible any more and no crazy flickering. But when picture shows a uniform color like white or a light color, I can still see that there are 4 equal sections (horizontal) that go light at the top and getting slightly darker towards the bottom of each section, but is not noticeable when picture is full of context like people places and things.

If a simple tap on the side of the TV fixes the problem… you may just have a loose ribbon connection inside the TV. If the distortion on the screen changes, it is most likely not the screen but a cable or board in the TV. You can also check what connects to the glass to see if that is the issue. If keeping the TV on for a period of time fixes the issue, that could be a signal a board is bad. Safely open the tv up and check to see what may be an obvious sign of the issue. Check for loose cable, popped caps, burnt boards…etc.

I have a Westing house TV, model# LD-4680. Has a dark spot on the bottom of the screen but still displays picture behind it, this recently happened. I would like to know if it is just LEDs fading and what I would need to replace. I am in the electronics field but have never worked on a flat screen before. Would I need a new LED driver board? I know Westinghouse is not known for there quality with TVs but I got a deal on it. 1080 looks good and it’s a 46″ so I’d like to keep it alive for at least a little longer.

So what is happening is dark “bloom” that changes shape on the left half of the screen. I think it may be more than half now, but only on the left side. Now, along with the dark bloom, I’m getting distortion lines, horizontal, along with weird coloring, all on the left side. There are no vertical lines though. My initial fix was to tap the outside frame and it would go away and be normal. Things are getting worse though. I did notice that if I tweak the left corner (squeezing it) instead of tapping it does clear up. Also when it warms up it’s ok. But even then, I can see very faint horizontal line shading (4x eq spaced) but can only notice when white screen is on. So when warmed up it is acceptable. I hate to toss it as the pic is pretty darn good. Also you cannot find 240 Hz tvs anymore. My educated guess is that it may be the circuit connects to the glass are coming loose and maybe glueing them in place would by me time. I was hoping it was the backlight, but don’t know.

If the screen went OFF when it was hit, usually that will mean the screen is cracked. If you get no sound and no picture and the power light and OPC light flash, can you count how many times it flashes? Is it a steady flash or is it flashing a certain number of times and then pauses and starts again. The number of flashes may tell what is wrong. If somehow the screen was not damaged, it is possible a board is at fault or a ribbon cable in the TV is loose.

My son hit my 60 inch Sharp TV with a Wii Remote. It is a sharp 60 inch model number LC – 60E79U serial number 110862271. The screen did not crack just shut off and now the power button and OPC lights flash. I tried holding the volume down and channel down buttons at the same time while plug it in didn’t change. I don’t get anything no sound or picture. Is there anyway to fix my tv?

I have 42 ” Samsung smart TV. My daughter hit the screen and screen has been cracked by right side but picture is still appear. Is it possible to fix it?

If your Samsung TV was cracked when you took it out of the box, then it was damaged in shipping. You need to immediately notify the company that you bought it from and make a claim. Who did you buy it from? Online like Amazon, Best Buy or a similar place? Call them and make a claim ASAP.

We have a 50″ Samsung led smart TV, that has a crack in the top, middle of the screen…. And when the TV is on it looks like what you described earlier, lines going up and down…

I have a HiSense flat LCD, model number 50K610. The screen got hit on the bottom right corner and now it has lines going up it. I am wondering where I can order a new screen at?

If your LG 65″ TV got hit, then the screen is damaged. The only way to fix it is to replace the screen. The screen replacement will be expensive so look around to find the cheapest. Possibly call a local screen repair service and get a quote to see if it is worth fixing.

We have a LG smart TV model number 65lf6300. It got hit in the bottom left corner and I got lines across it, but know has multicolored screen was wondering if it’s possible to fix it?

What are you using to watch TV an HD Antenna or other? Have you tried switching inputs to see if it is the TV or something else? You may need to do a “Channel Scan” for ANTENNA. Go into the menu on your Vizio TV and look for the “Channel Scan” for antenna. Run it and you should have the channels appear.

hello guys., might somebody know about my samsung 40″ LA40D550K7R with problem on the screen with horizontal thin lines of diferrent colors almost half of the screen. But the lower part 50% lets say is stillshowing good picture, most problems i read is a left and right vertical lines. my T.V is in Horizontal lines problem, Thanks. I appreciate your help very much.??

I have a Vizio E320i-A0 and the screen looks just like the one your website. There are no actual cracks in the screen. It seems to get only one channel, but that could be the cheap antennae. Any thoughts on how to fix it? Thanks!

My TV dropped on the floor a few months back, and now its messed up, has a big spider crack in it, kind stretches across the TV but not too bad, a few spots are just black, the rest have vertical lines of different colors. You can’t feel the cracks on the outside, and you can still kind of see the background image but its still pretty jacked up. Please help!

A 40 inch screen replacement for one of the low end Sanyo TVs would cost as much as the TV. Usually a screen replacement makes sense if your TV is over $1500 as the screen cost will not be over the cost of the TV, but a cheap HDTV replacement screen will be too expensive to make financial sense. Buying a new TV will be your best bet. Your TV may also have internal damage, meaning a circuit board could be bad since it fell over. So even if you replaced the screen, you may still have issues. Sell it on Craigslist for $50 dollars as replacement parts for someone who has the same TV and may need the stand or similar.

We have a low end Sanyo 40 inch that our toddler pulled down. Crack on the left side of screen. Big white lines above crack. Fine lines through middle and upper and lower half are different shades. Would a glass replacement fix the color change? It was only a $300 TV, but it’s only a few months old and really don’t have the extra money to replace. Thanks for your input.

If the screen was hit with a broom, well, sorry to say but the screen is cracked and will need to be replaced. You can search to find a replacement screen online or call a local TV repair and get an estimate.

When you say “looks like liquid”… The plasma gas has deteriorated or is no longer working to let the picture display properly. How old is the LG Plasma TV?

I have a 60 an LG flatscreen plasma TV that is not working correctly. I’ll try to explain. When it is first turned on it looks like liquid but a small picture forms and then after many minutes the picture comes on but it is so faint it is not watchable. Tried adjusting all the display controls. There is color and there is volume. The tv has not been dropped or hit and the only equipment ever on it was a dvd player. Some dimness problem but do not know what steps to take next.

My lovely little boy hit out 52″ TV with a broom! Leaving it with a crack and lines vertical and horizontal of about 4″x 4″ like the ones on your picture at the top of this page. The rest of the picture is fine.

I have 4 jvc em65ftr. The screen is half screen 50/50 exactly. It’s the right side not working. The screen as far as I know was never damaged. No visible damage. Where would a good place to strategy finding the issue? Every screen is the same by the way. I bought a bar storage unit and they were still in the boxes new.

Yes it sounds like a strange power board defect. Swap it out and this SHOULD fix your issue. Before you order any parts, check in the TV for any signs of a popped cap, loose ribbon connection, or a burned board. If nothing is an obvious sign of an issue, then replace the power supply board. Let us know how it goes.

It will cost more to fix the screen than a new LCD TV. If you really want to check around look for screens on eBay. OR… Go on Craigslist for the same busted TV but with a good screen and swap it out.

It is covered by warranty since you just purchased it, however since it was bumped and the TV fell and cracked, TCL or SM appliances will probably not cover the damage since it was not a defect in the TV. You can call the company and ask what the warranty covers. Did you buy an extended warranty?

Yes it can be repaired but if the screen needs replaced, it may cost more than the TV. Call some local TV repair companies in your area to see what they quote to fix it. You could try replacing the screen yourself by finding a replacement screen online for a cheap price.

I have a TCL 42″ inch LED TV. I bought it last December 30 2015 at SM appliances. When i started cleaning on my wall i accidentally bumped my TV, then the screen broke. When i open it it has like a spider web cracks and some linings. My question is, is this still covered by the warranty given to me when i bought it?

It sounds like a power board issue if you are having issues with simply turning the TV on. Do some further research before ordering or attempting to remove and replace the power board. You could also just have loose ribbon cables in the TV that connect the boards. You may want to check them to be sure. Use caution.

I have a Samsung 55″ LED (I believe the 8500 series from 2011) that started to have a bunch vertical lines show up. They are very scattered. I noticed it when I started up Netflix and thought they had changed the background to give it a “textured” look. It is still watchable as it is not super noticeable (for the untrained eye) in dark scenes. Definitely seems to be more prevalent with reds. Any ideas on what part would be needed to fix this as I am outside of any warranty work?

The lines r across horizontal and now it won’t even turn on when I plug it in but there is a black line goin across the screen bit it’s not psychicaly cracked

Is the frame of the Toshiba TV cracked or is it for sure the screen? Did it fall? Something hit it? How bad is the crack? Can you watch TV or is there vertical or horizontal lines showing? If so, what color are the lines and how wide are they?

Are the lines on your Sceptre TV horizontal or vertical? How wide and what color are the lines? Has the TV been hit on the screen or did the lines just appear themselves?

If your Samsung Plasma TV fell off the TV stand and broke, then it is most likely seriously damaged. You probably have a cracked plasma screen and a short circuited board. It would cost more to fix it than a new TV.

I have Samsung 51″ plasma TV I brought on May 2013 by online. Suddenly it fell down from the TV stand and broke the front screen. No picture and still have sound. How to fix this problem? I am very worried, help me please.

If the picture is fine but there is a small scratch on the screen, there is not much you can do. There are screen scratch repair kits but may not work properly if applied to an LCD or LED screen. Check YouTube for ways to remove scratches and marks from flat screen TVs.

Your Samsung TV was most likely damaged in shipping. Where did you purchase it? Is the box damaged? If you bought it online then take pictures of the damage and email them to whoever sold the TV to you. If you bought it locally, take it back.

My Samsung TV 32″ is black with horizontal lines. I just got this TV for my daughter for Christmas. I opened it up and set it up and it was like that. I didn’t do anything to it at all. I took it out the box and set it up so I don’t know what to do. My daughter is out a TV that’s all I know.

I recently bought a Samsung 65″ curved 4k TV (JS9000) and the screen received a somewhat deep vertical scratch near the top of the screen. About 3/4 – an inch long. Not an actual crack and no other problems with the picture, but it’s annoying because I know it’s there and the TV is less than a month old. And expensive. If I look closely, the pixels still seem to work, but the outer surface has been removed where the scratch is. Does anyone fix curved panels yet, or am I just going to have to live with it?

May be an issue with the plasma gas or screen itself. This type of issue can happen on plasma TVs. Do you smell any type of burning smell? If picture shakes, you may have a bad board or a loose ribbon cable inside the TV.

50 inch Plasma LG TV, 3 years old. Suddenly screen became black, have sound but the no picture broadcast. When i press menu, picture is shaking and have a small horizontal line moving up and down. What i have to do. Is it small or major matter and what is cause.

Our Vizio E472VL was working fine until recently the picture was replaced by about 4 inch narrow band of vertical lines. I thought this might be the ribbon cables connecting the main board to panel but now not sure. I press on the top of the cables to improve connection and the band will widen, change color or move around; however I never get any picture not even the menu. Therefore, I am at a total lost on what the problem might be. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance – Bill

When horizontal or vertical lines appear on the TV screen, identify the root cause by testing the TV picture, checking cable connections, and verifying external devices are working properly.

Performing a Picture Test determines the quality of the TV picture and whether the TV is working correctly. The picture should be free of vertical or horizontal lines.

Did something possibly lay down on top of the TV therefore pushing the screen inward? Have you tried using different inputs on the TV? Can you see the TV menu? Have you tried different cables?

We’ve just moved homes from the UK to Zurich. We moved our belongings by road including the TV. We have a SamsungUE55D800YU model. Since we set up home the TV screen is completely pixelated. With horizontal green lines. It’s 4 years old. Has been brilliant until now. It hasn’t fallen or has even a tiny scratch. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have an LG LCD. Light horizontal lines just started to appear. No damage visible, mounted to a wall closer to the ceiling. Happens more visibly when showing greens or blues, but seems to fade in and out. Can you tell me what the problem might be, and a possible solution. Thank you.

May be as simple as a loose ribbon cable in the TV. If not, then it is most likely a board issue not the screen, if the screen rolls. It may be a power board that is on the fritz. Did you personally change the t-con board?

I have a Sanyo TV DP46849. When you turn it on you get a white screen with thin color vertical lines. You see some of the lines start getting lighter and lighter and then go white. There is no sound before this happened the right side of screen would roll like so i had the t-con replaced but no change. I spoke to a repair shop they say it may be a the main board just went out it powers up fine and the repair shop said the LCD screen was not cracked what do you think the problem may be.

If there is no sound and the screen won’t power on, you may have a power supply board issue. Was the screen struck or hit before this problem appeared?

The inner screen is what is probably causing the lines. They range in different prices depending on where you buy it. A good place to look would be eBay for a replacement screen. May be better off just buying a new TV.

Yes we agree, it is a shame to throw away a giant TV that has one bad component. We always try to tell people to fix it themselves by using used spare parts to keep cost down. Try to find the same TV online for parts. Many times we have fixed a TV by simply finding the same exact TV online on a website such as Craigslist. We had a t-con board go out on a 55″ Samsung TV. We found the same TV with a cracked screen online for $50 dollars. We bought it, removed the board, and put it in our other TV and it fixed the problem. We now also have other spare parts, a new remote control, and another TV stand in case we ever need it. If you have the money, buy new, if you don’t have the money, get creative and try to fix it yourself.

May be a thermal heat defect issue. Check the warranty and call the TV manufacturer and you may be able to claim it is a thermal heat issue that has caused the screen to malfunction.

Many thanks for response….the screen was showing horizontal lines for about a month….but now when switched on, the whole screen splits into 3 with the middle section flickering in grey….no sound or picture….I’ve checked all boards and connections as per your advise….nothing looks noticeably wrong ?….Help?

They said the internal screen was cracked and cost of part and their cost to fix would be 800. I have pictures of what it looks like on…he gave me a price based off those.

The screen is most likely damaged in that particular section of the TV. Or possibly the outer screen is making contact with the inner screen. Check to be sure exactly if something is damaged. How long is the line and is it always visible? If the screen is damaged it will need to be replaced.

If you have power issues and the screen is showing horizontal lines, you most likely have some board issues. Troubleshoot the issue and be sure your screen is not cracked. Horizontal lines CAN indicate a board issue. Be sure the boards in the TV are properly secured together with the ribbon cables. Check everything visually in the TV for a bad or burned board.

I have a Samsung 40″ Smart LED 3D TV, model number UE40D6100SKXXU. Around 6 horizontal lines appeared right across the top of the screen which came down the screen about 1″. The TV was watchable…now it won’t power up. The whole screen splits vertically into 3 with the middle third just flickering in a blue / grey colour.

Is there a crack where the colored vertical line appears? If it was scratched, then most likely the outer screen would be scratched and not affect the inner screen. Did the sharp object hit the screen or simply scratch it? A scratch will not produce a vertical line, something had to hit the screen to produce a vertical line. Can you look at the TV at an angle with a flashlight and see if the screen looks pushed in at any point?

I have an LG LED TV model 43LF6300 and it is only 2 months old. It has been severely scratched by a sharp tool. The scratch appears while the TV is on you can see a colored vertical line. Does this need an expensive repair? Which part should be replaced?

I have a Samsung LED 40″ Smart 3D TV…A few weeks ago around 6 horizontal lines appeared at the top of the screen. But now the screen won’t power up, the middle third (vertically) flickers in a blue grey, no sound….can this be fixed?

Unfortunately, if the screen on your 46″ Samsung TV is cracked and you see rainbow and black lines that stretch across the screen, the cracked screen will need to be removed and replaced. You may be able to find a new screen on eBay or some other TV repair sites that sell TV replacement screens.

I cracked my screen. It is a few years old, I see rainbow colors and black. There are lines stretching across the screen and there is a little bit of distortion in some places. Is my TV able to be fixed, it is a Samsung LN46C630K1F.

If the screen on your Panasonic Smart TV was damaged due to someone throwing the remote control at it, it obviously will need to have the screen replaced. Can you tell us the size of your Panasonic TV? Also where are you located and we can give you some names of local TV screen replacement companies.

My lovely son threw the remote at our Panasonic Vierra smart TV and right where it hit now has lines on it. I’m crying so hard because I don’t have money for a new one. Please what can I do? I’m a girl so I don’t know what I’m doing, but I already took the back cover off. It is new and was a partial gift, please I’m begging if u know how to fix this. Please find it in your heart to help me.

Are you aware of the screen getting hit or damaged by even though there is no physical damage? The screen could be damaged… LCD screens on TVs are made up of two thin layers of glass containing liquid crystal material between them. When the glass becomes damaged, debris infiltrates the crystal layer. If there is no damage to the screen, you may have a board or boards issue.

Yes, if the screen is cracked it will need to be replaced to fix it properly. Replacement screens are best to find on eBay or find the same TV on Craigslist with a good screen but that someone is trying to get rid of for spare parts.

Did this just appear on the screen or did the TV screen get hit or did it fall over? Do lines appear on the screen and if so are they horizontal or vertical? How large is the pixelated area? Does the pixels appear no mater what input you are using?

If the screen is cracked on the inside, it is most probable that it is a heat related thermal crack. Call Emerson and claim a thermal crack has appeared and it is defective from the factory and should be fixed. If they will not honor the warranty, your only option is to replace the inner screen.

I have a 50″ Emerson LF501EM5F that half the TV (the right side) has color lines and what appears to be a crack not in the outer screen but just behind it. What are my options?

I would like to know what to purchase to fix my Samsung 40 inch TV that shows part of the screen but most of it is pixelated and looks as if it broken but the screen is not broke. What should i do about this?

The outer screen panel of my Sony Bravia took a hit and is cracked, only a small portion of the screen has images coming out and the rest of the screen has vertical lines and black patches. Can it be fixed at home or do i get a replacement outer screen panel?

I found a Vizio 55 4k on the side of the road during black friday, lucky right, but anyway I figured my luck was to good to be true and it has a crack in the lower area. There isn’t any picture but a slight blue shade on it. What and how can I fix this and would it be worth my time?

46 inch RCA LED (model 46LB45RQ) little over 2 years old. No physical damage. Not used much. All of a sudden horizontal white/opaque lines on bottom half of screen. Can see picture. Wasn’t that expensive. Debating tossing this if I can’t figure it out. Not connected to anything but cable box. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Did you purchase a warranty for all damages? It will depend on which warranty you purchased. Call Aarons and ask what your warranty covers. If it is not covered then you can either replace the screen to fix the crack or live with it if the picture still appears. A new screen may cost more than the TV but if you look on eBay you can find some for less and the repair can be cheap and fix your TV.

If the screen was hit it is most likely cracked. Can you see a crack on the screen? Look at the screen at an angle with the TV off to see if you see areas of the screen depressed in. If the screen is cracked it will need to be replaced.

Was the screen impacted by falling over or did something hit the screen by chance? If you look at the TV screen from an angle, can you see areas that are pushed in? Was this issue sudden or did it slowly begin to happen?

Even if the screen on your Sony Bravia TV is not cracked, it is most likely damaged. It may have a cracked inner screen or when the screen fell over. The TVs front panel may have hit and made contact with a board inside the TV. Is the front panel of screen depressed inward on any part of the front screen surface? Look at the TV screen from a side angle with a flashlight to see. If there is no damage to the front panel, then the inner panel may have cracked. You should be able to see any damage to the inner or outer screen panel when using a flashlight.

Is the screen cracked or has it been hit or fallen over? Or has this issue just appeared? Please supply more info and we can assist in telling you what can be replaced to fix your Vizio TV.

If there is shipping damage, they should pay for the damaged TV. If the shipping charge will be refunded to you if they do decide it was damaged in shipping, then ship it back. But it all depends on what the cost is to ship back. Is the TV brand new? Was it a scratch and dent type of sale? We would call them and see if there is a way to do a swap locally if possible. How long did you have the TV before you called them to say it was damaged? Was the shipping crate damaged? Can you take pictures of the damage and send to them? If the crate is damaged then that would be a good thing to document and send to them by email.

My Vizio 46 inch TV plays but at bottom of the screen. But it fades the picture. It’s a little off connecting with the top part of screen my model number is vw46L-fhdtv10a.

If the inner glass is cracked, the only way to fix the TV is to replace what is broken. The inner glass or panel for the TV can be found online but may cost more than the TV. Finding a used TV with an intact screen is the cheapest way.

You may have a bad power board if you need to take an hour of time trying to turn the TV on or off. What is the model number of your Philips 47″ LCD TV? Has anything come in contact with the screen? Did this problem suddenly appea
