The peice that actually hooks to the back of the tv is broken i have superglued it back 3 times and i broke it again last night to hook up the atenna to watch the super bowl and when i tried to hook up the cable again this peice fell out now the tiny peice inside if the peice that originally broke how can i fix this without having to spend another two grand on a new tv.

Answer 1

You need a soldering iron more than super glue. Take the broken parts to a repair shop and ask them what they think. Many shops would want to swap out the entire circuit board, but I think a conscientious repairman can actually make the repair for less than $100.

Answer 2

It depends if it broke apart of the circuit board inside of it.

If the piece of the board came out with it, then they will need to replace the whole tuner. Usually costs about 100-200 for the tuner depending on the Brand.

Then about 60$ for labor, and extra if they have to pick it up.

Answer 3

the only thing i can think of is to get an adaptor that will convert your antenna signal into an rca signal. maybe even an s-video signal. then you can use a different plug.

or, you could always have a tv repair guy come and fix the plug. the parts will be about $10, and the labor will be anywhere from $50-$200. its up to you.

Answer 4

If all that is missing is the antenna connection, any good electronics person can fix this with a soldering iron and a few min time. Contact your local repair shop and tell them the problem. They can probably quote you a price, too.

Answer 5

it can be fixed for cheap if its just the tuner piece broken. If you have messed up the tuner board, or gunked it up with too much super glue, it might be a little more, but still worth fixing.

Answer 6

well not much you can do unless you want to put it in the shop but they will tell you it will be cheaper in the long run to buy another tv
