Question:

Broken LCD monitor by bb gun shot?

I was cleanin a barrel of a bbgun and accidentally pulled the trigger while it was facing my monitor and now its really distorted on the bottom right almost if something cracked inside and theres a bunch of colored lines left and right it looks really ******.I was just wondering, can this be repaired or i have to buy a new one? sucks.

Answer:

if you clean your bb gun while its loaded well, i smell natural selection
You have to get very lucky, as soon as you're done reading this, take it to a repair shop. There's a small but reasonable chance that it can be repaired with a few flaws after repair such as dead pixels. Next time, don't clean it near valuables you don't want to say good bye to.
Not a smart move to point a bb gun at the monitor
I don't know how Grace above thinks it can be repaired in any way except to replace it. I've never heard of any way to fix a cracked screen other than replacement, and I replace a lot of them in my job. The LCD is basically like glass with liquid inside. Once the glass breaks like that, there's no way to make it whole again, just like how glass can't be put back together once broken, especially with liquid inside it and LCD glass also carry electrical signals across and through it. That's how it works. Unfortunately, you'll have to buy a whole new monitor. It'll probably be cheaper than trying to get the LCD panel replaced in your current monitor, but you can always make some calls to find out. Best of luck. P.S. Never work on or clean a loaded gun, of any kind :-)
