First of all, I’d like to say that I’ve found already many useful guides on this forum and I’d like to thank everyone!

This time I’ve decided to write a post, as I have a bit peculiar situation with my laptop, which has recently fallen down and seems to have gotten damaged.

The laptop unfortunately fell from approx. 1.5m. After the fall, the screen was still displaying image, but the image was stuck. I force shut it down and when I turned it back on, the screen was not displaying anything anymore (not even the backlight turned on). I visualy inspected all internal parts to check whether any of them were in any way damaged, or if any connectors were loose. Everything seemed fine. Also the screen seems perfectly fine. I tested the hard drive on another computer and it works fine. However, still after turning the laptop on, the screen is not responding. Alongside that, the fan is acting funny, turning repeatedly on and off in the first 20 seconds after turning the laptop on and then starts cooling fully (not sure if this is normal fan behaviour). The flight mode indicator light gets turned on, but the hard disk reading indicator light does not flicker like it usually does.

After disconnecting the screen’s connector and connecting the laptop to an external screen there was still no image.

What could be the underlying issue for these problems?

Thank you a lot in advance for every kind answer and help.

Attaching image of the board. The screen’s cable is intentionally disconnected to allow getting a clearer picture.
