Is this panel shot for sure?

[ljintexas]

I suspect this panel is bad due to these images when powered up. Can anyone confirm my suspicions?

It's not just bad... that's a crack in it. It's never going to work again.

Thanks Tom..Just wanted to be sure that was not an image because you cannot see the crack when it is not powered up. Even with a light. What could cause something like that if the front panel is intact and the set has never been opened?

Something/someone hitting it.
It's pretty hard to crack the outer surface... easy to damage the inner surface.
