Bezel fitting/alignment problems! (Happ's 27" bezel w/Toshiba 27A33 TV)
sofakng:
Well...
*Maybe* I could call them and get them to send a 25" bezel, but they already sent me a free replacement for my 27" bezel and they didn't charge me or ask for the old one back, so I'd feel a little embarassed about asking for yet another replacement... Although I wouldn't want to pay $30 for another bezel.
Decisions decisions...
Maybe one of the solutions mentioned above would work for me?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Sylentwulf:
You have a spare 27". Try cutting it and stuff with the one you already have that's broken, you're throwing it away anyways <shrug>
sofakng:
Hmmm... yet another change.
I called Happ's (they must hate me), and they said to tell UPS I refuse the package with my new 27" bezel -- that way it will be auto-returned to them.
They are going to ship me a 25" bezel instead.
Did you have to cut your 25" bezel very far to make the 27" TV fit? I'm a bit worried after all this... I'm praying that the 25" will fit my 27" TV perfectly (when cut) =)
I hope you're right about the 25" bezel =)

Well, I didn't say it was going to be easy...
It will fit if you trim a little of the inside edge. That's what I did previously, and it worked well. It isn't easy trimming the edge, though. I think I used scissors, but it was several years ago.

Yep, my father said the same thing when I told him... (he's helping me most of the construction since I'm not good at woodworking).
However I grabbed a pair of scissors to see if they would cut my junk 27" bezel and they worked perfectly. The cut through the plastic without any problem what-so-ever.
So, as long as I trim the entire inside edge I think I should be fine. Hopefully I don't have to trim it so far that I'm actually trimming the curved part of the bezel but even if I do it shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for the suggestion about the 25" bezel though. I think thats after I cut the new bezel it'll look and fit much better than the 27" one did.
If you have any other suggestions or advice on cutting this new bezel please let me know!
Also if anybody else has any suggestions or thinks I should keep the NEW 27" one, please let me know before Monday because thats when the new 27" bezel will arrive from UPS and I will either refuse it (send it back) or accept it (and send back the 25" one)
Thanks again for all your help!
