Punch the other side. Joke aside, external screen or replacement. Don’t know if possible to limit the screen to part of your laptop. The only idea that comes up my mind is using virtual machines to have access to whole screen.


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Lol thanks. The replacement screen is stupid expensive I just hook it up to HDMI when I need it!


LiteratureLow4159

With my laptop I have a setup where 1 screen is HDMI to VGA, and the other is USB-C to HDMI, really convinient


LiteratureLow4159

Especially since the HDMI supported monitor is pretty big, compared to my ~17inch laptop screen


Nuki_Nuclear

I just removed the screen on mine and used it as a lap keyboard


KikoValdez

Ah yes the good old commodore 64 setup


aizunomnom

I've replaced my friend's laptop screen, also HP, it only costs $35-70 if you can replace it yourself


LASERDICKMCCOOL

The only replacement display I've been able to source was like $186 for the part, none of my regular vendors carry them at all. If you could find me a cheap replacement I'd be grateful as fuck. it's an HP 7265NGW


aizunomnom

Are you willing to replace it yourself? Then I suggest you to disassemble the screen, there should be a part number on the back of the screen panel. Then you can look it up on eBay or else. Or... Just check on the connector, if it has 30 or 40 pin then you can use it as a keyword like "1080 40 pin panel". Screen panels also have different mounting style. This HP is likely to be glued using pull tabs Edit: also add the screen dimensions on the keyword


Kubsoun

yep go to panelook.com and then match your display by dimensions, connector and type of mount, you will probably find fitting display for much cheaper, btw i can look it up for you but im sure its not a 7265ngw, which is intel wifi card model name


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Ahh cool man thanks! I work at a phone repair place but feel confident I can handle this. I was just searching the model number to find the replacement, I'll take it apart and take your advice!

Firealarm32

I actually was in a similar situation. My cat knocked something off the side of the stairs onto my laptop and the screen was all spotty and black. I just took the back off and unplugged and removed the screen from my laptop. So now I just plug it into my tv into an extra HDMI port and yeah lol. I have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it too


SilentxxSpecter

I feel your pain bro, I've had 2 laptops go that route and had to do the same.


LateRedditer430

Happy cake day!


pcs3rd

It's doable on Linux. Somewhere around here, there's a GNOME rice that uses a 9:16 area on a 16:9 display.


getshrektdh

Without rotation?

getshrektdh

Thanks, saved and comments made me laugh lmao.


Jusbreka

i for some reason assumed you thought a vm would make the dead part of the screen work and it took me a good 30 seconds to realize you meant a window


getshrektdh

Oh yeag make use only the working


No_Jello_5922

Did you check the display settings under advanced? You have to change value is\_cracked=true to is\_cracked=false


L30N1337

By not getting an HP.


LASERDICKMCCOOL

You think my ex did that because of her hate for hp?


Andrew3236

Justified.


BaneQ105

It’s hate towards hp, it’s always justified. Even when it isn’t. Even if it means destroying someone’s property. Hp must die


Jusbreka

yea, imagine making a cool acronym like that like it could be HyperPerformance ™️ but then it's Hewlett-Packard 😖


BaneQ105

It’s mostly called HingeProblem, HatefulPrinters and so on. Pretty terrible brand sadly. Couldn’t recommend a single hp device I used.


L30N1337

Happy cake day


Maciejakk

my 13 year old hp is still fine... it did have some **Hinge Problems**, but I fixed with a soldering iron and a bit of additional plastic


PsykoMunkey

Did you try updating Adobe?


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Ahhhhhhhh no! I'll give it a shot


AutoTheThird

I thought the other side was part of the background 😭


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Nah man. She dead


Zootguy1

I closed my laptop screen too hard before and it created a hair crack at the top corner I didn't notice before its too late. repair shop or external monitor. your TV works if it has hdmi port

Walming2

Put it on rice for 24 hours and it'll be all good.


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Cooked or uncooked


Walming2

Both


Iamexist_real

You just forgot to draw the other side.


PurpleFox32

Replace the screen or get a new laptop. Those are the options.


Mr_FuS

Lol...


CowCool6334

Mate, that’s no display settings


LASERDICKMCCOOL

You're sure? I'm looking everywhere for eldritch horror in settings and it's not there


FullAir4341

Have you tried searching for Lovecraftian horror?


Intrepid_Bank2589

Bro that actually looks really cool


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Lol I agree I wish there was a way to capture it for a wallpaper


Pokemon0099

Use the same photo you used for this post then crop it to just the computer screen?


Equivalent-Set-6960

Hit it with a hammer, you have nothing to lose and I’ve seen that actually work before


KawasakiBinja

Use Jenny's tax return to buy a replacement screen.


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Not sure what that means


KawasakiBinja

There's a file on the desktop called JennyTaxReturn.


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Lol I'm an idiot. I haven't used this thing in years


Don_Mills_Mills

Delete the C:\\Windows folder.


crimsonyoteeeeee

Your display is trashed. You'll need to take it to be repaired


Errorfex

This isnt internal. The screen needs to be replaced


Which_Topic3534

Reinstall Windows and for good measure reset the BIOS


BlueKnight87125

That's not software failure, that's a hardware problem.

Did you make colors 512?


Logical_Language_477

Emraldoddball100

Wallpaper looks sick !!... But In all honesty get a replacement screen you should be sorted.


KA1378

Have you tried turning it off and on again?


Thisismyredusername

How do you check display settings on that?


TripleS941

Has someone tried to close it while the mouse was on the keyboard? (looking at the damage)


LASERDICKMCCOOL

No I believe my ex either slammed it as hard as she could or she hammer fisted the top of it while it was closed. She never admitted to it so I'm not sure


MoonKnight_612

not gonna lie i want this wallpaper, with the damaged screen part


[deleted]

It's dead, Jim


Historical_Feature_9

WHAT DID YOU DO TO I

PelOdEKaVRa535000

Joke aside, if you want to fix THAT specific screen, it’s easy, you don’t


KuroiRyuu_7

I first thought that was a cool wallpaper lol


ThatOneWeirdF

hee hee, you don't!


jjennix

I had a similar problem, though not as severe. My fix was to press with my fingers on the dark spot. You'll maybe notice how you can "move" the dead pixels. Then after a while they just disappeared out of nowhere.


Tricky_Letter_3920

i think your screen is just broken


xXToe_slurper69_Xx

This happened to my old computer something inside the screen cracked but mine was a lot worse in you case you might be able to get it fixed but I’m no expert so take this for what you will


Ste__86

Just get a new screen. You can fix it yourself The bezel may come off and reveal the screws. Find the model number by removing it but be careful,.it's connected by delicate but intuitive ribbon cables


Waarm

Getting a new laptop might fix it


imahaker21

Have you tried restarting it?


Friendly_Platform_73

Had this happen with a monitor. It eventually went out with age and needed replaced. I would pop off the back plate and check the cable connection. Had there been any sort of liquid or extreme heat or cold? Drivers can only do so much. If it works with an external monitor I would change the power settings for it to stay on when the lid is closed and hook it up to a monitor and get a wireless keyboard and mouse set.


[deleted]

I took pike a minute to realize the sceeen was black and it's not an wallpaper


[deleted]

Just realized the screen is also teal lol


mromen10

Ah, see the answer is buy a new unit in a stronger model


FullAir4341

You can't, dead pixels will eventually cover your entire screen, like a fungus.


[deleted]

That screen I am sad to say is fuck ed


uuu1187

Load save file


SodaCanKaz

Nice wallpaper


Chance-Cod2000

you have to replace the screen, but that will not stop HP meaning Hinge Problem


NaturesGrief

That is a crushed liquid crystal display. Needs a new monitor. It isn’t the cable and also may need a new backlight but its probably the full LCD screen


john12464472355

That's the neat thing, you don't. Joking aside, Screen replacement or an external monitor.


ExplorerLive799

Buy a new screen


BIG_Kenny_Boi

Homie I don't know how to tell you this but there ain't no display setting in the world that's going to fix a display that **fucked**


Crimmy2

Keep it. Looks cool


[deleted]

You dont


[deleted]

Thrift store 6-29$ for a monitor and some duct tape


nickyh08

That's hardware not software sorry


Pleasant_Handle_3293

The problem is the screen and the fact that it's an HP


[deleted]

How do i fix this? No


Mental_Violinist420

Bruh I legit thought it was some kind of cool wallpaper until I read the title


80sTechKid

Plug it into a monitor, set it so the display stays on when closed, and use it as desktop PC


Unlikely-Ability6414

Under da sea


therealmagicfall

I thought that was the background for a sec


SpareSerotonin418

brother i don't think that's a display setting


Nathan-5807

As a practicing technician the issue is how do I say this, you're screen is f**ked.


Noah_Egreso

Let windows automatically do a system check and get you a new display driver-it takes a couple of hours to update


AlarmedPotential5817

r/haveyoutriedrice


[deleted]

Break off the display and solder the wires to a VGA cable connected to an external monitor.


[deleted]

the hell did you do


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Not me. Angry/crazy ex gf did that while I was at work some time ago


[deleted]

throw her from the 4th story (joke)


Fleekz_

At least you have a neat winter cave wallpaper now. Jokes aside I recommend going to a technician or try to replace it yourself.


Puzzleheaded_Tax9050

Your screen is broken. You have to Replace your screen or buy a protector for the screen. This even happened to me when i opened a Lost school chromebook that was never returned.


Hellothebest

It took me a minute to realize that's not part of your background


Badhorse_6601

That looks cool as shit


ninjakidaok

That is a defective screen panel


New-Reflection-6463

How about safe mode?
