Hey guys, I'm new to this forum so I hope this is where I can post this question.
Anyway, I have a Vizio 42" Plasma TV (VP422) that I'm fixing. Im replacing one of the F-buffers (still waiting for the part) because the owner had put in a screw that was too long and scrapped the ribbon cable and connectors. Well, I got that fixed but the front glass on the Plasma is cracked but the Plasma panel behind it is intact. I went ahead and just removed the cracked glass and put the Panel back onto the trim. I was wondering whether I can watch the TV fine without it? It seems like the actual glass had some tint to it but dont know what its purpose would be other than for protection. I couldnt find any place that sells brand new glass panels so it might be my only option.
Any thoughts whether I will be able watch TV without it? (as soon as I get that F-buffer).
Heres some pics of the glass:
