Oh bummer! I've done that before, but luckily the television remained intact. ;)



Hmm, I think all the other columnists are mistaken and your cable is just fine. The place that the cable screws into is not. If I'm wrong I apologize. Getting a new cable isn't a problem and I can't see why you'd need to ask about that.

I am not a TV expert and I can't even imagine how the metal piece could have come out, but it does sound like something that could be fixed. My advice is to take a picture of it and bring the picture to Radio Shack or a similar store. The people at Radio Shack know what they're talking about and they should be able to tell you exactly what to do. You may be able to fix it yourself. That would be much cheaper than paying someone to fix it for you. Good luck. :)

You should be able to buy another cable wire to put in the back of your TV, however it requires some knowledge. First off, you may need a long cable to go from your basement to your living room and it's not always easy to do a job like that. This is something you should let your parents or someone knows this kind of stuff work on.

Yeah that can be fixed. If it's just the part that's screwed in, buy a new cable. If the wires are actually ripped out, it'll need to be soldered back together by a professional.

I believe you can buy another cable for it, but I think that's the only thing you'll be able to do.
