I would try Ebay or try google to see if you can track down a panel. The panel you need is a M260TWR1 R1. The problem you may find is that it will cost more to replace the screen that what the set is worth.

The manual for many Element TVs are available from the company's support site: http://www.elementelectronics.com/support/ . They have a couple of different 32" TVs listed in the drop down menu list of model numbers. Which model do you need a manual for? The manual for the ELDFW322 is available near the bottom of http://www.elementelectronics.com/2011/12/eldfw322/?model_number=ELDFW322 . To print the manual, either open the PDF with Adobe Reader (or a similar program) and print (File > Print) the file to a printer connected to your computer or put the file on a USB flash drive or optical disc and take it to your local print shop. I hope this helps. Please post a comment with your model number for additional support.Cindy Wells
