1378805 2014-07-08 09:42:00 The panel would need to be replaced and likely cost more than a new TV so yea insurance claim.
If no insurance then better start saving for a new TV. :(

1378806 2014-07-08 21:41:00 If a friend of mines experience with a 3.5 year old Sony is anything to go by then no as they most likely can't get a replacement panel.. paulw (1826)

If you they didn't need to make a claim in the past and if they didn't have insurance for the years, by not buying insurance would have paid for the TV replacement. After the Wellington earthquake we put duct tape onto the TV's stand to the cabinet :D

Its just a matter of cost & how much you want to pay .

Just go to JB Hifi, look at the prices of some 40" TV's & you'll see why the TV repair industry is pretty much now gone.

1378809 2014-07-09 04:49:00 When you replace it attach it to a cabinet or wall mount it. My last 4 TV's have all included a strap to allow you to secure the base down to the cabinet and my tilt and swivel cantilever wall mount bracket only cost about $130 from an online supplier.

I always have home and contents insurance but when stuff like that happens to me It doesn't immediately occur to me to make an insurance claim but as people have mentioned that's what it's for. Depending on the value and your excess of course.

I don't think so the money would have been spent on something else not saved for accidents

But insurance is mainly for those big disasters....you come home and find the burglars have cleaned the place out, or the house burns down or such......the savings on no insurance wouldn't cover all that....

There are a lot of examples, just this week someone who lost a house (and contents) is said to have not been insured.....
Down South there was a house fire (on rental) and tenants had no insurance.

People were being helpful, giving them clothes and stuff, landlord came down and was sympathetic...he was insured of course on the house.

But even so, insurance companies tend to chase the tenants for that sort of thing - normally contents would have covered them for damage to the premises.

1378812 2014-07-10 23:56:00 Ive been without home insurance for 15+ years . Saved me thousands .

But now, after having a tree fall down & hit the side of the house in the last storm, Im thinking its time to get insurance .
However, not having insurance meant I got everything fixed & tidied up quickly & with zero hassles.
The aborist said one old guy had a tree smash through his living room & insurance are just giving him the run around.
