Recycled LG Smart TV as a Chrome Cast?

Hey all, I work in an electronics repair store and a customer opted to recycle a smashed 55" LG smart tv. The controller itself is fine but finding a replacement panel was next to impossible without hitting up ma boi Quin Tan Yan to buy in bulk on Pannelook. The controllers don't have any obvious display outputs, is it still possible to remote into it or use it as a Chromecast Audio or something? they don't fetch much on Ebay.

 

 

The rest of the tv is going to a local highschool to be used as a theater prop if anyone was wondering.

This is why you recycle broken tvs, not try to repair them.

The panel costs more than a new tv.

yeah they've already opted to recycle. we're the ones in charge of doing that now and have no idea what we're doing. re-purposing is the best we can do. sucks it's a smart tv board and we can't do anything with it.
