    Hello, I am new to this forum and i was wondering if you guys could help me out.

    I own the netbook mentioned in the title of this thread and small lcd was hit against the edge of a table and shattered. After getting replacement i installed it and the new screen did not work. Thinking that it may have been the wiring between the screen and the lcd i tried to use and external monitor. At first the netbook only worked in safemode but now it does not work at all.

    Does anyone know what is wrong with this damn thing? And if so, how do i fix it?

    Thanks in advance!

    Can you verify that the hard-drive is OK.
    It might have been damaged during the hit-the-table incident.

    You'd have to connect it to another computer in order to check that.

    There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the hd. Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?
