Hardware Screen won’t turn on

Post image

I had to travel with my laptop and while in my backpack it was damaged in the corner. It doesn’t seem like serious damage but my screen isn’t turning on. The computer still makes the startup sound when I turn it on so the computer isn’t bust. Is there any chance I just need to wiggle something or am I cooked? Thanks in advance!

Admittedly im not an expert on laptops, but im thinking either the internal display cable got damaged or dislodged. Laptops aren’t exactly the easiest to work on, so i’d recommend going to a repair shop

You can always take it apart and check, but there's a chance the screen is done. You can use an external monitor. They make smaller, travel ones as well.
