Hi fellow gerbils i'm going to rack your brains for some help with a laptop problem.My roommate fell while carrying there laptop earlier today.They supposedly did not drop or hit it when they fell. Just kinda held it to there chest then landed on there back.Non the less it no longer seems to be working properly and i get bombarded with pleas to fix it as soon as i walk in the door from work. The problem unfortunately is beyond my normal scope of simple solutions.What's happening is the screen no longer comes on when you turn the laptop on.All key board light's come on. the small blue led connected to the base of the monitor comes on.The laptop can be hooked up to a normal monitor and runs and operates perfectly normal.Only the laptop screen stays blank.It does not come on by itself at any time during post or boot up, but here's the weird part. If i push in the lid button in the top left corner.The screen flashes on for a split second after i release.I can even get a sorta strobe light flickering picture by rapidly pressing it.During this the image is perfectly clear, no color or pixel distortions, and is just as bright as it always is..... any ideals???
P.S. the laptop is a hp dv8380us specs are the same as in the link below except this one has 3gb of ram and a 7600gt gpu running windows 7 32bit
