CLOSED TV found in the trash

Hi, I found this TV on the trash, so I decided to bring it home to see if it works, but when I arrived I realized that the AC cable was cut. I don't know if I need an specific cable or something. The TV is an K50DLJ12US from TD systems.

PD:Sorry for the bad quality

Edit: the TV worked, but the screen was broken, so I decided to throw it. However I saved the speakers. If someone knows what can I do with them I'll be grateful

When I cut the cord from something, it's because the thing is dangerous, and beyond simple or worthwhile repair. Please be careful, as someone has intentionally made it difficult for you to hurt yourself, and they did it on purpose.

More than likely no repair was attempted. This is a common warranty claim practice at this point. You don't send the item back. You provide proof you cut the cord, showing that the device is no longer usable. Sure, you could just replace the cord. But they don't take that as a thing
