I told him to connect it up to a desktop monitor to see if that would work, and it does. So something has gone wrong somewhere with the monitor -- he says it looks as if the laptop might have been dropped because the casing seems slightly awry. My question is this: does anyone know if it's possible to open up a laptop to check whether wires etc. have come adrift? If so, is there any chance of repairing it? Obviously this will depend on the damage done, but theoretically ...? He's bringing the laptop to work for me on Thursday to see if I can do anything -- I'm happy to have a go at opening it up but don't hold out for much luck Any ideas from you guys? Thanks.
