Hi all,
My lovely dad miss judged how far the tv was and went to put the ps4 controller into the tv screen. The tv is 2-3 months old so I hope I dont have to replace the tv.
My question is does anyone know where I can get the samsung tv panel replaced. It is a 4k 55" samsung UA55RU7100K.
Any help will be appreciated.

Wow that sucks. If you have household insurance perhaps trying to claim that might be easier?

Disclaimer, i have no idea whether or not this is a viable option, just making a suggestion
 
Insurances cover accidental damage if you took accidental cover.
 
My dad said he will call on monday to see if they will pay out. But then what, will they pay full price of the tv or some of what we paid for the tv. And do they take the tv after pay out. I never had this happen.
 
Hey everyone that we have collected items from always says its never the full amount of a new tv of the same quality so No on that one and Yes someone will collect the tv most likely it depends whether your insurance send the instructions to someone to collect it
 
My insurance has always replaced like for like (minus excess payment) or paid current replacement value.
 
You will not be able to buy a new panel. Nobody keep stock of them.

1. The authorised repair center will install a used panel (if they have stock).
2. The price of the repair will be almost the same cost as a new unit. Labour is over R750 p/h.

If the insurance claim does not work out, buy a new tv. You cannot fix the actual panel in SA. Components inside the TV frame can be repaired.
 
Thank you all for the help, my dad called the insurance company and they are going to replace the whole tv for R1500.00 excess. I appreciate all the help :)
