    Hey everyone,

    just wanted to double check-- is this a video card problem or a screen problem? Laptop fell from a 4' drop, either on one of the sides or the closed-lid side (ie top of the laptop). Haven't had time yet to plug it into another monitor to see what happens...

    Thanks for any help you can give me.
