What should I do with it? I'm guessing repairs are going to be uneconomical so Tip or sell? Seems like such a waste to tip it as it still looks brand new, no damage to screen but clearly a broken panel inside from impact damage.
Sods law that my insurance company emailed me last week to say they have decided not to renew my insurance policy (think they are going bust) so I can't claim on my insurance.

The panel is not something that would be sold as a spare. No doubt the electronics are still good and could be sold for £20~£30 each - there's usually 3 or 4 main boards, so you could get around £60~£120 selling those parts (you would be lucky to get £5 for the remote). Obviously if you are going to strip it down you need to be aware of the risks and you need to determine if it's worth your time & effort.
Currys are selling a 4K 55\" panel for £359.99 & Argos are selling a 4K 55\" panel for £399.99 - I guess that's why there are so many of these going to land fill!"}],"commentCount":12,"interactionStatistic":5,"articleSection":"Ask"}
