    Busted panel corners... Repairable?

    I have a 50" Toshiba bezel-less that I replaced backlights in a few weeks ago. The tape didn't hold well so the panel started hanging from the top. The pressure caused the two bottom corners to shear off. I can see a court contact on the right corner, but the left is gone in assuming. The screen is not cracked anywhere else, but it displays no image.

    Is it at all repairable? I'm assuming not.

      I've done this before accidentally... Tossed it. Gave the new lights to the trash because it pissed me off lol.

      I use a glue to put the screen back on. B7000 maybe? It's used for cellphones so it can be removed later and cleaned up unlike super glue. Pain in the ass to get out though and needs a good day to dry. Never failed me so far.

        I used the proper LCD mounting tape from Amazon. Funky name but was actually 3M tape inside the package. I actually sold this tv and after a week the lady messaged me saying the screen was coming off from the top corner. I immediately told her to wrap tape around the top corners to keep it secured because she had it mounted on the wall. I offered to either repair, exchange, or refund. After a few days she brings it back and I ignorantly gave her money back without checking it. I plugged it in and no image. Took off the bottom frame and that's when I found the corners cracked.

        I told her to tape because I KNEW this would happen.. She messaged me the next morning saying she didn't have tape 😑 I said literally ANY tape will work.. Then I told her AGAIN. Well she obviously didn't tape it. Willful negligence and I should've checked beforehand, because it was 100% preventable if she had done as I asked. Oh well, she got her money back and I got a broken tv 😒😂

        I don't understand why manufacturers don't rubberize the edges of the glass. It would be cheap and add SO much more durability. Oh wait, they WANT it to break so you'll but another one.. Silly me 🙄

          Idk...I understand the corners chipped, but I'm not convinced that it is what's wrong. The contact in the one corner is still in tact, but it looks like it just dead ends down there for some reason within the glass. The other side where you don't see a contact looks like there's not even supposed to be one. Regardless, I expect there should be *something* on the screen like lines. I can't even get a half image disconnecting one side at a time. No flickering when poking at the corners or any of the bottom ribbons. I can hear the menu clicking around when I press buttons, but I see absolutely nothing but a blank, lit screen.

          Did you encounter the same thing? I did check the tcon voltages and they are good.

            You must be bored 😯😯

            No not the same thing.

            You can clearly see broken glass on the screen corners. I've had this before though.. every tv with broken glass acts different. I've seen many videos of a kid thrown item at screen and it just turns black and never shows lines or anything else.
