Dropped laptop -- White Screen on bootup, am I SOL?

[50]

I have had an ACER 1810T for the past few years and while I was sitting someone stepped on my cord and the laptop came out of my lap and fell on the floor. When I boot up, the ACER splash screen doesn't show up and the screen is completely white. I don't think it is the hard drive, anyone have any ideas? Thanks

There are connects to the screen, either the connectors are loose or the screen is damaged. hook an external monitor to test the onboard video, if it works, you can probably just replace the screen or reattach the cables if loose

Sounds like the lcd panel is damaged. If you need help changing the lcd panel you can always go on youtube and type how to replace lcd panedl for then put your laptop brand and model number.

If you don't think you can change the lcd panel then you can send the unit to repair technician.
