Good day everyone. I recently replaced my laptop screen and ran into the 0x000000ED BSOD. I'll tell a story so that the details will be more clearer.

I was basically playing Faster than Light at 3 AM in the kitchen floor before my girlfriend got angry and decided to kick my screen and break it. I wasn't even mad though. The important thing to take away from this was that I did not turn the computer off; instead, I let it enter hibernate/sleep mode on its own because I didn't want to lose whatever was on my screen (notepad was open and so was FTL).

6 months later, I replaced the screen and everything was perfectly fine. However, when I turned on the computer and went into windows, it was disgustingly slow perhaps because of the fact that it was hibernating for months. Then windows crashed on its own and restarted. However, this time, a BSOD would flicker after the "windows loading" screen and then the laptop would restart. I thought that perhaps I misconnected the new replacement screen, but it doesn't seem to be the problem.

I used F8 to prolong the error message and got a 0x000000ED error message (UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME). I decided that this issue has nothing to do with the replacement screen and perhaps the fact that my computer was hibernating for so long. Could such a scenario damage my HDD?

Hi,

the kick might of damaged the HD,

You might want to install it in a desktop to see if it still works and retrieve the data out of it.
Then try to reinstall windows.

You can download Hard disk sentinel to a desktop to see what report it gives you on the HD

Hmm, well she kicked the LCD very lightly to be honest, but it seemed like the Toshiba bezel/LCD was about to break anyways and it gave in then.

Regardless, I'll check it out. Since this is a laptop HDD, I probably would need to buy some casing for it before I can connect it to my desktop, right?

Furthermore, I don't like to continue using HDDs when they present problems, so where can someone buy replacement HDDs for laptops? Do laptops require specific companies/brands?

You can buy usb adaptors for $5 at Amazon or you could download a copy of recovery console and use that to boot to and try a file system check on your hard drive. Be sure to get the recovery console that matches your system.
