Hello guys,
My question may be somewhat strange or really lame but I am in need of help since my situation is pretty dull.
So first off I would like to mention I am using a laptop which screen is broken and can not see even a pixel through the screen.As I was browsing on it through my external monitor I accidentally switched the refresh rate to a higher than the monitor's native RR, which prevented me from seeing anything at all.The next day I made another idiotic mistake by connecting my laptop to another display which worked fine,so I assumed if I uninstall my Intel graphics driver all settings regarding refresh rate will revert to fabric settings and I can probably use my screen.As most of you might guess I totally made one of the most stupid mistakes.Now I can not access my laptop under any circumstance.I went to a IT specialist and he told me he couldn't access the hard drive for some reason , something about it being necessary to be the same brand (Lenovo).I am still wondering and seek for insights, is it possible to install on my spare hard drive a fresh copy of windows with a graphics card from another laptop and then put it back on mine ? Will this work I'm interested in any kinds of options as long as there is an alternative instead of getting a new laptop ? Thank you in advance

You should still be able to access bios no? Even without the graphics driver I am fairly certain that you should be able to see the screen at bios with the proper bios updates. Try updating your bios to get in there. Once you're in there I would just Install another WIN 10.

You could try what Callsign Zulu said. If your worried about loosing files, you can boot into safe mode to get your files back.. You SHOULD be able to access the intel settings from safe mode and possibly turn the refresh rate down from there.
