    Hey guys,
    I've accidentaly dropped my g73 on the floor from like 40cm. It landed on the carpet and hit it with its right side. It still works fine except the screen..and touchpad of course :cool: Left side of the screen is "mirrored" to the right side and there's a white stripe between. Do you think it's a video card issue or just screen issue?

    First make sure that before opening up your computer you're not voiding any warranty.

    This probably won't really help but maybe changing the resolution would reset it somehow? It most likely isn't the gpu but you should plug your laptop into an external monitor to check if the issue carries over to the other monitor, if the screen looks normal on the external than it isn't the gpu 99.99%.

    I plugged external monitor and everything works fine. Played Witcher 2 for few hours with no crashes/freezes. Gonna check the lcd cable inside.
