it is a TOSHIBA laptop. Starts with no problem. but nothing shows on the screen except this funny - shapes -. I know the nearest computer repair is around the corner. and i also get in my mailbox every day - visitkas - computer master, computer repairs, cheaper then cheap and for - pensioners- still a discount on top of it...
anyone any idea what happened here? the laptop was apparently NOT dropped.

Somebody sat onto it and crashed LCD screen.

Somebody sat onto it and crashed LCD screen.

Or some keys, a packet of cigarettes, a pen, or a wallet, what-ever, was laying on the keyboard, and the operator closed the screen, and then a strange sound appeared for a short time, followed by the words "Oh shit". Or the operator see something on the screen they do not like, and they hit the screen hard.

New LCD module, piece of cake to replace, if you can find the right LCD module.
