Our LCD tv was knocked off its stand by our daughter. Thankfully it just missed landing on her head but the screen was cracked. You can still hear the programme but there is no picture. We bought it about 3 years ago when they were alot more expensive than they are now. Can it be fixed or is it worth fixing. We have a free 5 year guarantee with it but that probably wouldnt cover this type of damage. Would it be worth claiming on our house insurance? We have had 2 small claims in the last 3 years. Its a 42inch philips lcd. Thanks.
 
If the screen is cracked, then it is generally uneconomic to repair these. You could phone a few TV repair places to seek their advice. Guarantee will not cover this type of damage, so you have a choice of claiming from house insurance or just taking the hit. What's the excess on your policy?

Adding a 3rd claim may make your policy very expensive to renew. As it is, with 2 claims you would find it difficult switch insurance company.
