tv screen been shot

[mrcabrach]

left my gun in the livingroom and when i was not there my 7 year old son was watching a film with bad guys that he didn't like too much, well you can guess what happened next
the bullet didn't penetrate the screen just sort of ricochet off the corner but the bottom 1/3 of the screen now has lines across it & the bottom corner has turned green has any one ever replaced an lcd screen
Its a sony bravia 42" was hopein to repair rather than replace
thanks for any replies in advance

Sorry, I still worry that you'd ever leave it where a 7 year old could get to it.

The safe place was in the back of the fire the wife was fizzing & the gun was sizzling it was a plastic pellet gun fireing pea sized plastic balls never thought it would manage to do that

Plastic pellets or not, just imagine getting shot in the eye with that, leaving anything that dangerous near a seven year old is irresponsibility in the extreme, you should be ashamed to call yourself a parent.

An airsoft gun. Thankfully. The thought of him owning a real firearm is rather disturbing.

To answer the original question, I think it very unlikely that the screen can be repaired. But guessing is pointless. Take it to a professional repair shop. If you are lucky, they might have a similar model with some uneconomical internal fault that they can rob the screen from.

well on the packet the gun came with it said not sutiable for children under 36 month so recon he must have been at point blank range. pure quality components that stand a knock are a thing of the past.
if its made in china its sure to be crap unless its a toy gun i guess

It's not a knock. It's a fairly high velocity impact. LCDs are fairly fragile, it's their nature. Would you like another 5kg or so of toughened glass in front ruining the viewing angles to prevent it from being damaged by irresponsibility, or will you just lock the projectile weapons away in future?
