Not sure what the problem is?

Hello all,

New to the forum.

On thursday of last week, I dropped my laptop on the floor, cracking my screen, and busting the corner of the casing.

The screen cannot be seen through as there are lots of blobs of color. It was still running and I could still hear stuff in the background.

I decided to shut it off by holding the power button as I couldnt see anything.

On friday I decided to hook up a monitor, so I did, and it went to windows loading screen and wouldnt load windows. I then just shut it off, and wasnt home all weekend so it was left off.

I got home today, and decided to retry my laptop. I hooked the monitor up and it finally loaded Windows, I logged in and it froze on my desktop. I waited and it still wasnt working. So I shut it off again, and restarted it. It started up again, and now everytime I try to click something, ie wireless on the task bar, or network places, or really any program, it just freezes.

What is my problem? Why will windows load but I cant do anything. Are there any solutions?

I hope I gave a good enough description as to my problems, but if you need more info please feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance for the help
 
ur laptop is hurt better take it to its hospital lol .... i mean take it to service center... as ur laptop was on the floor after the bungee jump... it definately need some repairing... i guess u have guessed so far that there is some hardware fault...
and hey sorry for ur laptop incident..
 
I would think either the screen is shorting something and causing the freeze
or the shock to the hard drive corrupted the OS.

It wouldn't hurt to try reinstalling the OS. Unless you have a bunch of data
on it that you need. Then I would suggest removing the drive and putting
it in an enclosure so you could attempt to back the data up.

Or, you could try to get it networked to a desktop to get the data off.

Just some suggestions.

Thats my guess too... Could have knocked the memory part way out of the socket, damaged to the HD or as another user posted, the screen could be causing a short or something.

I would take a look at the memory, could be a quick easy fix but don't hold your breath.
