What would you guess this is going to cost to fix?

According to pacparts.com, a mirror for a Toshiba 42H82 is only $37.30! Your TV isn't a Toshiba by the looks of it, but I imagine it's in this ballpark.

Is this worth trying to fix?

Absolutely! Unless you want a new TV...then you can tell your significant other that it's toast

Is this a possible diy thing?

Not too difficult, really. Remove all the pieces of the old mirror and vaccuum up the smaller pieces. Get as much as you can and don't be afraid of tipping the TV on it's side and shaking pieces loose if need be (the TV is more rugged than you might think). Then just remove the mirror retaining brackets from the cabinet and, with a helper, fit the new mirror and re-attach the brackets.

Do check the lenses for scratches. If they're scratched, don't freak right away...get it all back together and see if there's actually any visible signs of the scratch in the picture.
