I just dropped my closed laptop on the stone kitchen floor from about 4 feet. It landed screen (topside) down, like a pancake, smacking the floor.
The computer turned on with no problem, but the screen (which shows no visible, physical damage), just glows white across the top 3/4, while the remaining 1/4 has pixelated lines running through it.
Does this mean that I only smashed the screen, and that the computer should be fine? In other words, will it be worth my while just getting a screen and replacing it? Or do I have to go computer shopping?
It’s 5 year-old HP Pavilion dm1-1010sa, and it has done well by me these last number of years. 🙁
