Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I can't find a place more fitting.

Anyway,

I have this problem. I dropped my laptop, and on the right side (occupying about 1/4th of the space of my monitor) I see these lines that are messed up. I tried restarting my computer, turning it off, I even hit my computer :D to try to save it, but to no avail. And, the worst part is, it gets worse by the hour. Beside it, there is a dark part of the screen, and then everything is fine. I think it is a chip problem, but I really don't have the money. My computer was a 1500 dollar computer, my monitor is a beautiful flatscreen. I can promise you I tried everything I could, and my parents are gonna kill me if this is not fixed soon.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A laptop screen, or external screen?

well, either way, there's no real solution to "fixing" your problem. The only hope you have is of warranty. Replacement is the only fix available to you. If it's under warranty, great. If not, you'll have to buy a replacement LCD screen, or find a parts laptop on ebay for cheap of the same kind. Good luck there, bud
