    I have a recent TV with a cracked screen - my cousin died in Fortnite and busted it with a controller. Is it feasible to buy another, identical TV, switch the panels, and return the TV and say it was broken when we got it? The screen has no obvious signs of damage when turned off.

    If they’re still making the same exact model of the TV just buy a new one and put the broken one in the box then return it....


    If not your way should work....only if it’s a crack though

    If it’s smashed they’ll know you broke it

    In the old days I would grab one off the store shelf and return it. Just to get my money back tho.
    They got wise to that so I just buy what I need.

    Most stores reserve the right to refuse refunds on electronics. They request you use the warranty procedure with the manufacturer instead. Once at the manufacturer's warranty department, the item would be tested and the fraud would most likely be discovered at that point.

    Also the big TV consortium is working on a system to black-list people who abuse their warranty programs. They are going to use the cameras and microphones to detect subversive persons by their audible and physical profile, and any TV sets in your presence will either 'lose signal' or bear their fraud departments report on you right there on the screen for everyone to see.

    the panels themselves? you'll want to open your current TV and determine whether it'd be difficult to remove/replace it, it may be soldered/glued/moulded

    if you try to return the whole TV in the new one's box they'll likely compare serial numbers and tell you to get fucked when they don't match

    he's talking about buying a new TV and returning 'it' the next day, most big stores will exchange/refund if it's within 7 days

    Yes, I was just thinking that. I will be switching the panels and sending the new TV and the old panel back.

    I was actually going to get it delivered - it's more straightforward to claim it arrived broken that way.

    No, not for electronics. Usually, they have a sign now-a-days prominently displayed that electronics will not be refunded or exchanged.
