Advice on broken computer--daughter dropped it?

I know this is a LOOONG shot, but my daughter managed to reach our laptop from its spot on the desk and she dropped it. Everything works fine as far as it starting up, but the screen doesn't work now. It is black or, at times, white. I was wondering if there is any way to connect a computer screen to a laptop, or whether anyone had any general advice or ideas as to how to fix it? Thank you.Advice on broken computer--daughter dropped it?
well, first see if the laptop is under warranty beacuse if it is they will probably replace it. Next take a lam,p and hold it up to the screen and look closely, if you see anything then it is just the backlight or a loose clip. Also, if it does boot up try placing a vga cord to it then using the function keys to swich to the mkonitor. if that dosent work then the laptop is pronbably shot. also, your hard drive might be broken,they are relativly fragileAdvice on broken computer--daughter dropped it?
It sounds like the connection to the screen may have came loose (its just a little cord, its happens a lot too). Its a simple fix warrantyour computer is still under any kind of warranty opening the case would void it.


In the case of conneccting the Laptop to a new monotor, there is a cable you can use, if you go to like best buy just tell them what you are trying to do.
Yes you can connect to a external screen/monitor but you would need the lap top screen to do it. Take it to a computer repair store like Frys Electronics (http://www.frys.com) or the one I use (Quality High Tec Services (http://www.QHT.com).


Hope this helps
it is possible if your laptop has another vga port on the side or and the back. What to do is buy a monitor and hook it to your laptop via VGA cable(normally blue) and boot your thing and press FN+F2 i think? or check your keyboard and look for a little square icon in the F rows
More than likely the LCD screen needs to be replaced.You CAN hook up an external monitor to your laptop.Plug the monitor into the vga connector plug and reboot.
You can connect an external monitor to the video port on the back of the computer and use it that way
