Dropped laptop. Everything seems to work, but screen messed up

Have full screen, but over that seems to be a layer which covers half the screen. It has vertical and horizontal lines with what looks to be a crack running at 45 degrees from top left of this layer to bottom right.

Screen split in half horizontally and duplicated

You didn't supply the make , model of laptop or the OS you are using? Has there been any damage? Dropped? Open Control Panel, Display adapter, Uninstall the Graphics adapter, reboot. Allow the Windows OS to apply the generic driver. post results with info.

The screen is only half full

If half of the screen is working the only option is replacement, go to www.ebay.com type make and model of laptop, refine search to screen to check out pricing.

My HP Compaq mini 110 has a half striped screen...Everything works except for the fact that the screen is half white and a little black...I had recently dropped my computer from a couple inches off the...

The screen polarization has gone bad. it is not worth the trouble. if it is laptop take it to a tchnician to be replaced. They are usually extremlely pricy and cost almost as much as replacing the laptop and will probably be an upgrade as well. if it is a laptop you can always use the external monitor port and use a different monitor.

I dropped my LG Shine flip and half the screen is black

If you have done this kind of repair before, you could look on eBay for a replacement screen and price will vary. If you don't know how to perform a repair of this magnitude, you;re better off and will come out cheaper just buying another phone. If living without text doesn't bother you, no loss.

I dropped my laptop and the screen is messed up

You can purchase just the display piece for replacement. It is tedious to take apart the whole laptop because the display is plugged into the motherboard at the bottom, but usually cheaper than replacing the whole computer. Instructions for replacing the display piece can be found on the manufactures website in PDF form. Displays can be also be purchased from the manufacturer but it is much cheaper to buy them from a highly rated seller on Ebay.

I dropped my laptop and now the screen is messed up.

Ack. Sounds like you might need to replace your screen (sounds pricey but is cheaper than a new laptop). You can find second hand/refurbished screens or another Aspire with a working screen being sold for parts on Ebay or here

On a side note, if you a have a PC monitor lying around, you can access your files by hooking it up to your laptop via the dvi slot. Granted, it seems a bit ghetto but its a quick fix until you get something more permanent.

I recently broke my iPhone screen and completely shattered a dell laptop a few years ago. You know all those people who are adamant about you buying proper carrying/protective cases? Screw 'em.

Broken screen

You might find a replacement LCD screen on EBay.
Failing that you can connect your laptop to an external monitor, of course you would be desk bound.
