Carefully replace the plastic cover. Replace cover screws.

Repairing is more environmentally responsible than disposing of a TV in a landfill. You are saving the environment from the Lead (Pb) glass from the rear of the CRT and Barium (Ba) glass in front screen.

There is very little danger of the CRT imploding or cracking if you use common sense, they are built for shipping and rough handling. The cadmium in the screen is unlikely to escape even during breakage, and is not much of an environmental hazard.
