Just two on my Galaxy S3 and i managed to fcuk up a screen on a HP laptop. I didn't realise the LED circuitry was stuck to the bezel when I removed it and it tore the ribbon cable.

I just dropped it from 3-4 ft when it slipped from my fingers, it fell straight down to the floor oriented the way you'd view it. Something caused a vibration and the stem cracked, letting the air in. At least I got a flyback transformer out of it to play with...

I don't see myself breaking an LCD yet. Knock on wood. I bet my phones or laptop may be the first one...

I never cracked any either. Then again, I don't do that much work on LCD TVs and monitors. Only have repaired like 11 or so LCDs total.

As for CRT - how do you crack that?!
These things are tough to break. Even a story with pictures of one guy here (on BCN) accidentally having his 100 lbs (~45 Kg) 24" CRT roll down the stairs a full story and still working afterwards.

I just don't know how it happens on such a large scale.

Well, for LCDs (especially TVs), the Wii-mote usually does it.

Hm, just one so far. It was back in the mid 80's and I was carrying a so-called portable table model out to the customer's car. The thing must have weighed a good 75 lbs., the handle was at the top of the set - and it pulled free from the set. Probably busted some of the other tubes, too, talk about a downer .

Zero
I find it amazing when you look on ebay and craiglist, to see how many "AS IS" units are because the screen is shattered. For TVs and monitors. I just don't know how it happens on such a large scale.

1. I dropped a CRT monitor.
It wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be.

Just wandering people how many Crt, Lcd, Pdp or Oled screens have you cracked accidentally ? This could be when repairing the display or just pure harsh luck.

I can proudly say in all 322 Tvs I have repaired (so far) I have never accidentally cracked a single display Of course some that haven't been economically repairable have met the sole of my foot lol
