Generally speaking, though it may be possible to fix a broken screen, it's not cost effective and you'd be better off replacing the TV.

Flat panel tv repair

If it's two weeks old, you should try calling Sony but obviously mentioning that your son cracked it won't do you any good. Even if they won't cover it under the warranty, they could still give you the phone number for a service center near you, or tell you how much it'd cost for you to have them fix it. It is repairable, and worst case is, if you don't want to send it to a repair guy\Sony service center (or the repair costs too much), you can sell it on eBay and recover a large part of your money.

Logik model-lcd32v68p has got a symbol of headphones in the lower left hand corner on screen, how can i remove it?

Although not in the right category, because a TV is not an Accessories of a digital camera, I think I can help. Could it be someone put anything in the little headphone connector on your tv? (a child? someone in your house, who has listened with a head phone? someone who wants to make a practical joke?

When a head phone is inserted, the tv senses that, because some contacts are disconnected in the headphone jack. So is anything else is in the jack it looks the same for the tv. Please check eventually with a magnifying glass and some extra light.

The screen needs replacing if cracked. It is usually cheaper to buy a new TV than get it repaired.

I have a 50 inch Pioneer Elite PRO and one of children threw the remote, hit the screen and cracked it. It looks like it is cracked inside (beneath the first layer of glass) The outer sheet of glass is...

My understanding is if any air gets in this area where the glasses are it will not work. You better ask a tv repair man to see if it is worth putting the money in to repair. There should be no charge unless you have him do something to it.

My son drove his charger thru a deep puddle. the

Does the engine turn fully or not? If not the connecting rods are more than likely twisted to your pistons if he hit the deep puddle at a fast rate of speed. The pressure of the water would of passed through the engine's crack seal producing deadly effects to the engine

My son threw a ball and hit the screen cracks all over can this be fixed with a new screen or is it junk now really bright light shows through all the crack marks

The front glass is just a protector for the LCD screen. If your TV turns on and the picture looks ok (may be a little color variation around the crack if front glass is pushing on it, variation OK black Bad) If the picture looks within the range described then replace the glass. It is just a piece of standard glass and a pretty easy diy job. If the LCD screen is broken the repair will be more than the replacement cost. Sad fact US TV repairmen make a living wage while the workers that assembled you TV wouldn't be able to buy lunch here with what they made putting it together.

There may be a reset facility on the TV. Check the back, it will be a very small posh switch, size of ball-=point pen. If available it should restore to factory setting
