Insignia 55" TV broken screen, 1 year old?
In moving, our TV got bumped. It looks fine when off, but when you turn it on the inner screen is clearly broken in a spiderweb of cracks and no clear picture. Is there any saving it? Can you replace a screen?
The TV is not even a year old yet. Would a warranty possibly cover this damage, even partially? I love my TV but don't have a spare $1000 sitting around for a replacement. But if a screen can be found or repair done for $600 or less, I'd be very happy. Please help with advise, tips where to go, and any overall information!
Darn, I was afraid of that....
Is it even possible to get a replacement screen? I have tools and experience with electronics, wiring, soldering, etc, so the main costs would be parts and shipping...but I cannot find replacement screens anywhere.
Luckily black friday is coming up, so maybe I can get a good deal on a new one...
I was hoping it was like an iPhone where the replacement glass cost is not bad and it is an easy fix.
It barely got bumped too, a tap really! Not even enough to make any mark on the outside. We didn't think anything of it until we got it mounted and turned it on and the crack on the inside was suddenly visible.

This is rapidly becoming the most frequent problem posted here. The unfortunate truth is that replacing a 55 inch display panel (screen) would cost as much or more than replacing the entire TV. You only have two practical choices:
1. Take the TV to a recycler like Goodwill Industries. They'll give you a receipt for a tax deduction, regardless of its condition. Or you could recycle through another resource.
2. Advertise it "as-is" or for parts on Craigslist. Take whatever you can get for the boards or the entire TV, and don't expect much.

You should check used in your area. As others have pointed out, repair costs and new parts are expensive. But look used, you likely are not the only one with a broken TV wondering what to do. You can either find a cheap used working TV, find a cheap, or even free, broke one for parts, or might even be able to sell yours as parts or trade!
The screen is one of the worse things to go on the TV, and is 90% of the value of the TV. From what I know about Insignia, it is not likely it is something easily reparable, even if you do find the part. I suggest you either save up and get a new one, get a used one, or get a broken one that has a fine screen and repair the new broken one with parts from yours (maybe their motherboard has issues, or speakers are out, etc, and you can doa quick fix from the working parts in yours).

You can trade him in at my house. I have a 10 month old girl that I would be more than happy to trade with you for. You should send him to her house (or room or whatever) at 1 in the morning to o this Soulja Boy dance for her. It should give her wonderful dreams! And make sure he takes the song along with him!!!
