Long story short my nephew decided to use his scooter in the house and in his own words "gently bumped the TV" and now the panel has a big white blotch and I think it may be physically broken (too much screaming over the phone to get the straight answer).... I'm finding a new-found fondness for our cat and dog ruled household right now... 
Anyway... I already gave my brother my two cents on the issue but is this something that is even MILDY worth getting repaired? It's gotta be about 1.5ish years old and he was always complaining how dark the TV looked when playing anything from his DVD (and some cable too) back when he first got it and never could figure that one out. Well he said... My dark TV problem is gone anyway...
So any reason to think this sucker is worth fixing? I assume no but on a similar note what should he do with it just put it out when his town does ecycling or maybe donate it to .... I dunno ... I'd say an electronics training/vocational school but maybe I'm dating myself given todays world of disposable everything.
Any insights would certainly be welcome...
Oh the model is: Sharp Aquos LC-C3237U (a 32" unit IIRC).
