What should you do about a broken LCD television?
A broken LCD TV is not a cause for despair. Although the screen is the most delicate part of the device, breaking it is not a reason to panic. Although, of course, it depends on how you look at it. But there are cases where the situation can still be saved and you will be able to enjoy excellent picture quality again in the future. By the way, breakage can be due to a variety of reasons, and therefore no one is immune to such a mishap.
Breaking Down Technical Problems
Dropping the LCD TV screen downwards, hitting the side object, pouring liquid, falling “back” or sideways – what just can not happen to technology. The culprits can be children, animals, and sometimes even natural phenomena, as well as many other factors.
When the display is damaged, its matrix suffers. For example, if dropped ‘face down’, it may exhibit spreading of liquid crystals. Cracks all over the screen are not even worth mentioning. Sometimes you can drop it in such a way that the entire display turns into a solid web.
Now that the topic of damage is on the table, preventing it is easier than repairing it. You should avoid putting your TV at a place where it can easily get caught – a corner of a table, a place where there is constant movement or aisles. Ideally, mount it on the wall, but if this is not possible, you can attach its legs to the table/shelf. A safety tie should be used when doing this.
Ways to salvage a broken LCD TV
TV breakage can be permanent or something that has to be repaired. In principle, any breakdown can be repaired by sending the equipment in for repair as is the case with smartphones. The only thing to consider here is whether or not it is advisable. Sometimes the repair of the screen can be more expensive than buying a new TV.
The second option involves self-repair. A new matrix is purchased and installed in place of the damaged one. Here you can also apply to the service centre with your spare parts for the technician to install everything properly. But here, too, one ought to get acquainted with the prices of this kind of pleasure.
If you can’t do anything with the damaged TV and you just pity to throw it away, you can give it for recycling or disposal. In this way you will have to do less littering and the environment will be better protected. TV components are detrimental to the environment and therefore it is not recommended to throw away faulty equipment.
Finally, you can disassemble the “dead” device for parts. The plastic can come in handy or be used to construct something. “Stuffing can also be used to equip another appliance or to rebuild it. In any case, almost every part can be used, which means that damage to the device will not be so bad.
If there is nowhere to use the spare parts, and they just lie around and gather dust, they can be sold to a service centre or a craftsman. This is especially true for the motherboard on modern LCD televisions.
