Panasonic 50" TX-P50X50B advice please

[piccy]

Just been given a Panasonic 50" TX-P50X50B for repair when the guy dropped it off he managed to crack the screen , is this a glass front or part of the display itself and is the set now useless or repairable still

just for the record the initial fault was light blinking 7 times ,

awaiting any replies , but guessing its a write off ....

have looked on forum for and found replies re 7 light blinks (red) just none for 50x50 but if screen is still useable then will start repair process using these links

Useless unfortunately. Though usually 7 blinks is due to a crack in the panel on these newer models. So, the crack probably just spread.

Hi Tom66
thanks for quick reply ,
just had another look at the front of this tv the damage appears to be a deep ish scratch on the front with cracks running off from it but none of the crack lines are feelable with my fingernail on the outside of the screen, can you give me any pointers of what to check on this tv for the 7 lights fault , ie checking the panel or any other causes , apparently it has gone like this in past and come back on after a few days , or would the screen be classed as a hazard should it fail while working ?

if still beyond hope is it worth keeping any of the panels from the unit or could they be faulty as well if the panel is cracked
