I've fixed a zillion of these myself. On the newer TV's, these connectors are not attached very well from the factory and all it takes is for one to run with the TV with the cable still connected and you will rip the connector out of the tuner. When I replace the connector, I always solder it in place. That way, it will be much harder to rip out. I've had a few where the tuner was damaged to the point of having to replace it; but, most of them can be fixed if you're patient and watch what you're doing. One of the TV shops loves to get TV's with broken RF connectors because that's usually an easy $75 for him.
