Just had this TV come in for repair, actually on rental, the renters daughter tripped and fell into the screen - you can plainly see where her head hit!.

The picture is 4 Megapixel straight off my Fuji camera

Heck, is his daughter okay?

 

Apparently went to hospital, but for hurting her arm rather than her head.

Shucks, if my daughter did that, I would have heart attack.
Mine slipped after bath about a month back, fractured wrist, that was also not fun, very expensive too, Three visits to the hospital.

Can you fix such damage? Not the child the lcd.

 

It needs the screen replacing, which isn't as expensive as it might have been - many Sony LCD panel's have dropped a lot in price recently.

The set itself is a KDL40W2000, a full 1080P HD set which was pretty expensive.

One would think it's gonna be cheaper to replace the whole chebang.
It normally is like that over here.
We do not seem to get the exact model here, but prices for the Bravia range from R9000 to above R60 000.
Hectic dude.
That's a lot of groceries dude.

 

I would have just left it until it expired. Does he have home owner insurance to claim it on ?

Edit: suggest ordering a wall mount kit. kv

The kid probably got too energetic watching the cartoon or something. If somebody slipped and headbutted my LCD TV (if I had one ) They wouldn't live long enough to go to the hospital

It is over here very often, but panel prices from Sony have dropped considerably recently - retail price of the repair looks to be about £565, on a set that was originally just under £2000 new. It's a pretty viable repair as these things go, and is still a highly specified TV.

Nope I think if you look closely the skunk has a rock hammer. I think the kid got to close and the skunk hit the kid thru the glass.

Edit: Skunks have issue's

I hadn't noticed the hammer!

The picture was actually a freeze frame from a Sky HD box - I froze the picture so it wasn't moving on screen, as it was a fairly long exposure.

I was just going to plug an aerial in it, but I couldn't tune it in - the TV's menu is in the bottom left hand corner, and completely invisible!

KV, that's quite a sharp observation, I didn't notice either.
Kids do get excited when in from of the tv, I came upon a video of my little one when she was much smaller dancing in front of a barney video.
I absolutely cracked myself, wish you could see that hip sway, at that age and all.
Thing is we have no idea where she picked it up.
But it's really funny.

 

Do you still have TV repair shops in UK?

The majority of repair centres have closed business here. There is not one left in this district. Even the stores that sell electronics no longer service them, only original manufacturers' depots.

 

Future Shop has a large repair facility in Langley; I took an appliance repair course from one of their lead repair guys a couple of years back.

According to him, on most consumer stuff these days if they figure the repair will take more than an hour or so, they just replace the unit and either return the faulty one to the manufacturer or bin it. So appliances often get repaired but electronics don't unless it's something really simple. LCD/Plasma TV repairs are often limited to swapping in a new backlight bulb and sometimes replacing a bad board.

I've seen that depot (not in my district). Do the security guards still frisk all of the employees before they are allowed to leave the premises?
Talk about a repressive workplace!
