The cable hookup plug broke off clean. It's a 54 inch 2002 big screen phillips/magnavox. How can I repair it? Please help my little ones like to watch wttw. I have no picture at all since the plug came out.
Sorry Rochelle. This repair is going to involve having to take apart the tuner assembly, re soldering a new Female F type fitting back onto the tuner. This is if the board on the tuner is not damaged or cracked. You need a high wattage soldering iron to solder onto the metal tuner plating. This could also melt the inside of the F fitting if you do not play it careful. This really I'm afraid is not a job for a novice. An experienced tech should be able to handle this repair without too much of a charge, unless of course the board is cracked or is damaged like I mentioned before. Then the tuner assembly would need to be replaced. Good Luck

Thank you! I will have to call a repair guy. It does not appear to be damaged on the inside from what I can see. So hopefully it will be cheap to repair. Have a great one!
