Mitsubishi Screen Replacement

[Larry Fowkes]

A person I work with has a Mitsubishi WD-52531 big screen television. I
believe this is a DLP projection set? He called earlier today and although
he did not give me details apperently someones foot ( his I would guess)
was kicked through the screen. Aside from the idiot enrolling into anger
management classes what is involved in replacing the screen assembly and
where can it be obtained. I have to guess that there are some rather precise
alignment issues? Is this a job to be referred to an authorized service
center only or is it likely to be so expensive that even though the set is
less then a year old it is not worth the expense?

Appreciate any input ... Larry

I don't think Ben is really very political, just apperently an idiot.

"Technologically advanced high-definition 52-inch 720p rear-projection LCD
TV with two built-in HD (ATSC) tuners"

I assume a factory authorized center can repair this economically.

Just for anyones information who is in ths situtation. We called
Mitsubishi's 800 number and were transferred to their parts department. The
inner screen and outer cover and special tape required for installation were
in stock and came to around $350.00 delivered. An expensive outburst for
sure (turns out it was his wifes foot ...hmmm) but not as bad as I had
thought.
