Bought a cool little tube tv over the weekend only to have it damaged in transit. Not sure if I can file a ups claim or anything as I didn't open it the day I got it (yesterday) due to time constraints, and there is no obvious damage to the box, so I doubt they'll do anything anyway.
Problem is that the monitor on it was pushed into the box, which then pressed the nec pcb against the back of the case causing it to snap in two. There looks to be about 12 traces that was cut due to that. I'm attaching pics to the post.
Is this repairable? Anybody willing to tackle this? Could I do it myself, looks pretty basic around 13 or so traces big solder points. Would just join solder points together with wire, where the traces were broken, then probably hot glue those down so they can't move around to much.
One problem is that the video wires going to the main pcb are soldered to this board. Should I cut them and put on a molex so I can have this board repaired, is it even repairable, should I just try it myself, or maybe find a small electronics shop around town.
Thanks for any advice.
