Default Broken LCD TV screen
So, my little LCD TV dropped off the table and then onto the floor. I picked it up and now it is cracked.

What should I do? Are there any successful self repairs that I can do? Or any repairs that would at least fix part of it?

No warranties btw.

I don't think there is much you can do, when LCD's are broken I don't think you can repair them as crystals maybe destroyed or the ultra small wiring between them.

Even if you do manage to repair it I think you will have hundreds of dead unrecoverable pixels.

Sorry...

Well, no, I don't think you can fix it. It looks like you tried to carve a starfish out of it D:

I have a question.

Is it still safe to use the TV and watch TV on it? I know some parts of it is broken now, but I can still see 70% of the screen. And are there any bad lights that may ruin my eyes?
