Hey guys, I been thinking on another forum I visit as un often as I can I seen a neat thread. ( one of the only ones I look at). It mainly is one general simple quick answer question thread. Either way those of us who don't have ppl to ask at a moments notice can use it like myself haha.

Well here goes,

? I have a 2004ish model 20" flatscreen tv its not thin just flat screen still the old thick type. Anyways that coaxial connection on the back going from tv to cable/sat source has like broken off of the TV. I guess years of moving it and stuff, Looks like it has broken off and a small wire has sheered off as well.

My question has anyone had this issue, is it cheap to fix or expensive?

Theres a quick reference pic. that screw in part.

Anyone with a question feel free to post in here, hopefully one of our fellow F150 members have been there done that and can put some insight quickly without a big post.

 

I had one do that one time. I just got a male connector at Radio Shack and hooked it up with a nut on both sides of where it exits the TV to hold it in place. But some of the newer ones are made on the circuit board. That would make it a little more difficult. You would have to solder some lead wires off of the board before attaching the connector. But look at both sides of the board before doing any soldering, because most of the boards are printed on both sides. So if you solder on one side, you may desolder the other side.

I only see line out jacks in the picture. If there are any line in jacks anywhere, you could just hook it to a VCR, and use it for a receiver.

 

Holy crap I just realized that, I could just use the RCA inputs. hmm on second thought I have dishnetwork tv they use like a wireless setup to access one DVR in the home. That line is ran via a cable cord only. I will take a looksy this week. Thanks for the reminder man I had completely forgot about rca inputs.
