    The laptop fell onto the floor and now the screen doesn't work properly.

    From wiktionary.org:
    Broken (2): Adjective. Not working properly.

    So... I guess by that definition, it's safe to say you have broken it. Sorry.

  • are you saying i should claim on insurance or are you trying to suggest that i am trying to commit a crime??

    i am asking a vaild question seeing if someone would be able to suggest if i have a problem i could fix quite easily or if its major and their is nothing i can do about it myself!

    if its the former then, banger9365 thanks for your advise

    It sounds like youve just made something loose, if its a cable you should be able to get it fixed pretty cheaply if you don't want to open it up yourself.
