Display stopped working shortly after it was dropped. Started having black screens after being turned on for a while, then more frequently and sooner after being turned on. Moving the lid past a certain angle made some visual glitches; it looked like the static from a damage HDMI cable. I took it to a repair guy, he put new thermal paste on my processor, and showed me the display ribbon I needed to buy.
When it arrived, alas, I was impatient, and not sure I could afford the price he quoted me for the repair, so I tried to fix it myself. No love; display won't turn on at all.
Is there a chance I can fix this myself? I'm on a fixed income and don't have a lot of wiggle room with finances.
