It doesn't seem to affect the way the stove heats, but it looks terrible, not to mention the stove has hardly ever been used. Is there a way I can repair this myself?

It has to be replaced for safety as some particles may fall while cooking your food. In the meantime you may use a rubber silicone as temporary remedy.

In addition to handling the heat, the glass must be whole to better support the weight of the pots and pans. Most common repairs I can think of would not handle the heat, or properly carry the weight.
It needs to be replaced.

Most likely, the answer is no. Glass stove-tops are not something meant to be a do-it-yourself project. The best thing you can do now (besides getting it fixed) is to keep your spices, potholders, kitchen towels, bread, or other lightweight items above your stove to prevent future occurrences. Good luck!

It will have to be replaced. I wouldn't tell you to lie about it though. It will be very expensive. If you call the company & tell you the truth they might help you as customer satisfaction.
You can try these links for the part.

I would say no. Try to convince the company it was a thermal failure and get them to replace it under warranty.

What a crackpot! No, I think it will need to be replaced.
