    If you mean an old style fat one, then I wouldn't think so, I threw mine out.

    But an LCD or plasma might be different, or ebay?

    Lets face it the repair bill is likely to be more than it is worth, write it off is my advice. Can't see anybody needing it for parts for the same reason.

    You could repair it first, then sell it on if you think it'll make anything.

    My aerial bloke mentioned to me that his actual original trade was repairing tellies, but the trend is now for chucking them out and replacing and that sort of work is drying up. It might be worth your while looking in the yellow pages. If you are in the Newry area I can let you have this bloke's number by pm - I doubt if he'd travel to Belfast for a broken telly.
