I didn't break it. It wasn't even that much of an impact.

I would take it to someone to get it fixed, if I were you.

Also, does it have a warranty?

Yeah, pretty sure something broke. If you drop something and something goes wrong, it's busted.

As far as I know, laptops can be a real pain to repair, so it's probably worth just checking the warranty like Luc suggested.

if you don't have warranty, take the hard drive out along with the RAM and save it for another day
you can also use the motherboard if you want but it won't get as much use

google a local computer repair shop

take it in and have them look at it

the price will vary depending on the extent of the damage

Thanks, man. Its not that much of damage I assume. Just some small thing broke resulting in the screen becoming flickery, the whole system isnt completely damaged or anything severe.

i'm not exactly an expert but it sounds like it's just your screen that's damaged, if that's the case i don't think it'll cost more than 100 bucks
