My 52" LCD is broken *NWS*

HDMI went bye bye

teh gf tripped on the cables behind the TV and fubar'd all the connections. Pulled the boards out and the tiny points that were soldered by an Indonesian child have been severed. I looked all night to see if there is a replacement board and there is no luck. To repair an issue like this costs close to $1000.


What to do?


I feel like my first child died or was born retarded

the problem is how bad it was ripped off the board.... hopefully the points on your circuit board itself is still ok.

did you buy it at costco? If so just put it back together, take it back and they should give you a new one...
