Need some asistance	Can't Post

Hello there recently I have switched cable services and so I unplugged the boxes and such to return to the store. On my return home I find that the part where my cable wire goes into had the copper piece from my splitter stuck in it. This is of course a issue since the other copper wire cannot go into the tv. My first instinct would be to remove the back of the tv and do this, however this is a good tv and I would not want to have a accident. So any advice or tips or instructions would be great.

unfortunately a small needle did not work, I have removed the back of my television as a hope it would come out better through the back but I dont see a way to remove the piece of wire.

Tuners don't pose to much of a problem to change, but be weary that it might be on a double sidded board. That can make it a bear to get all the little pins out. Some chip quick and a solder sucker should do the trick though.

I didn't say anything about t 2 sided tuner. They don't even exist I don't think. I am refurring to the board the tuner is soldered on to. But yes, those are basic accy's needed for board repair.
