Hey /g/. I accidentally hit my computer with a drumstick and

you need to replace the screen

Install Gentoo.

No, it's fucked. Look on ebay, amazon or aliexpress for a replacement panel if it's cheap enough.

>>62351583
get new screen

You broke it.

NVM guys, fixed it ;-)

>>62351605
How much would that cost? Also, there's no physical cracks. I don't really understand computers well so I'm not sure how that works.

>>62351644
that depends on the screen
call HP

>>62351632
Who the hell are you

>>62351644
bout tree ffiddy

>>62351666
Ok thanks.

Looks like the bottom right of the scren works. Install a TWM and just use that area.

>>62351583
It's not the screen, it's the RAM. The computer has become too slow and it's not able to send all the pixels to the screen in time before the next frame kicks in.
Just buy more RAM and everything will be fine.

I've got a laptop like that and I just use it with an external monitor now. you can replace a laptop screen relatively easily but you'll have to open up the laptop a bit and unplug a ribbon cable or two. You might even be able to upgrade the panel to something better than the one you broke

win+p is the keyboard command in windows to switch back and forth between monitors, in case you can't see the screen well enough to do it through the menu

>>62351741
>BUY RAM
AHAHAHAHA
just download it nigger

>>62351678
Get out you goddam Loch Ness monster

>>62351741

Thanks. I'll try it

You broke the fucking screen you caveman

>>62351860
the screen is broke ya dingus
the panel
the display

you need to buy a replacement lcd panel that fits your model number and replace it, its not hard.

in the mean time you can use an external monitor

>>62351860
You broke the panel of the monitor.
Its is the thing that shows you the picture idiot.

>>62353240
Stop chimping out and have a banana.

>>62353240
You dingus, you won't fix it, just buy a new screen and replace it.

>>62353288
I'm pretty much broke

>>62353282
I don't like bananas all that much.

problem: you broke the fucking screen
solution: either find an alternative, fix the screen, or buy a new laptop
i suggest a thinkpad t420 as they're very durable and you can hit it with your drumstick all you want :~~3

have you tried rice?

My computer is still playing percussion performances and I'm not even sure what they're even competing in. I also don't even remember finishing typing in 'snare cam'

>>62353356
Thanks.

There's not even brass or woodwind. Just drumline and front ensemble

>>62353312

Either suck up to it or get an external screen. Where I live, CRT monitors are given away for free, I'm sure you will find a cheap one in your area. They're old and make an annoying sound but beggars can't be choosers.
It's either use your laptop as a desktop or get a new screen, you can do one while saving up to do the other. There's no way around it, those are your options.

>>62353483
I'll do that. Thanks

>>62353558
Do what? Buy a new screen or get a CRT monior?

From the way you post I'm not sure if you know what a CRT monitor is. It's one of these. Check if your computer has the right port before you get one.

>>62353613
Buy a new screen. I just need to save the money

>>62353639
Shig

>>62351583

Which side is broken? The side with the skyscraper or the side with bearded guy?

>>62351583
Plug it into a cheap external monitor. If you don't have one you can get one at a thrift store or pawn shop for $15-20.

>>62353704
The side with the skyscraper. The bottom right is the only part that works.

>>62353670
Like I said, where I live CRTs are given for free, just get one if you want to use your computer at home while you save money.

>>62351583
>>62351826
They are messing with you... Just buy a replacement screen. If it's not available then buy a Thinkpad next time. Thinkpads are easy to upgrade and replace shit on.

Or listen to this guy: >>62351753 if all you do is use it at home anyway. It's not possible to fix this without a lab that can make a new screen much cheaper anyway.

>>62353979
Fuck you I was trying to help, if he doesn't have any money he should just get a CRT for free.

>>62351583
I know this sounds weird but you need to rub fluored substance on the damaged zone. Toothpaste worked for me, I know it sounds fucking retarded but it worked

>>62354099
I was not saying anything bad about that. That is a great idea. But the whole "get more RAM, that will solve it" nonsense is not helping anyone. Everyone here has at some point known as much as OP does regarding technology, it's not helping anyone by telling him to get more RAM is what I meant.

Swearing doesn't make you sound any less retarded. OP, DON'T rub toothpaste on a screen. Use thermal paste and fullscreen display an image with a warm color. With any luck the paste will keep the heat on the screen and reflow the liquid crystals in the LCD. It's a hack together fix and is liable to break on you any time even if it does work, but if you have a techie friend that does CPUs they ought to have a spare tube and then it's a for free/beer.99 fix until you get a proper solution in order.

Both of these solutions are mostly relying on witchcraft and there is no scientific basis for this.

>>62353312
Yeah and so is your screen.

Put it in your microwave oven. The heat from the microwaves will repair the dead pixels.

>>62354444
That doesn't look the same at all.

OP you probably already have a monitor around that works. Does your computer have an hdmi port? or a vga port?
most modern tv's have both and would make fine interim monitors

turn on text to speech and use it as if you were blind

>>62351644
Type your computer model and replacement screen into google. I've done it for one of my 17" screens for like 150 dollars.

You need take your screen out of its cover and unplug a ribbon cable. Connect the new screen using the ribbon cable and try to re-use the old tape to keep everything snug and connected. Assemble the cover back on and you should be good to go - just don't lose any small screws.

Buy a MacBook Pro.

>>62353240
Update your GPU driver and then use a dead pixel fixer program. What you have is effectively a very large number of dead pixels.

Hardware engineer here, that display is not "broken" like most people are telling you. You can see the display turns on just fine, the problem is that a few hundred pixels just dislocated from their frame because you literally hit it with a fucking drumstick.

Maybe, it's possible to fix it by heating (I'm not trolling, search for "reballing"), when you heat the laptop a little bit, the tiny parts moves around, it's very likely that the pixels will move back to their frames. You can heat just the display, or if it's easier for you, the whole laptop, no problem there, those laptops are supposed to handle up to 100ºC (Search for Intel's T junction temps). So don't worry, you can literally put your laptop in the oven at 100ºC for 30 minutes and the display may fix itself. If it doesn't, just replace it anyway.
