Have been given a laptop to 'look' at by a relative who suspects his
daughter may have dropped it though there is no obvious outward sign of
damage.
Appears to boot OK but screen is blank. Adding an external monitor confirms
that it seems to run OK.
However, I have also noticed if machine is tilted back slightly it cuts out!
Oh and the battery doesn't appear to charge (though it might be dud!)

Is this beyond repair or going to be expensive?
