Dropped my laptop

[Tetra]

Hi
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1667G damage

The laptop was dropped from about 4 feet onto a ceramic tiled kitchen
floor
It boots up ok
The screen has pixel damage to the left hand side which varies from
day to day
Programs which require processor use result in locking/freezing and
the only way out is to re-boot
The laptop appears to have landed on the bottom left-hand corner, as
the case is sprung slightly and the volume control wheel has been
pushed into the case and is inoperable
The internet can be accessed, but again the laptop email program locks
up in use

Anyone care to hazzard a guess as to what would be wrong and is it
fixable?

obviously something is wrong, personally, i would think maybe a fan of something has become dislodged, do you know anybody that is very technically minded, if you do let them try to fix it, you've nothing to lose, unless it's still under warrenty

BTW: dropping the laptop is probably not covered in the warranty, but it is worth checking, that's it it is still under warranty

I think this is what has happened to mine. I bought it from eBay as a little project. I had to replace the screen and I thought that was it but now I'm having loads of freezing problems.
I cleaned out the fan and that has improved it slightly but I installed everest to do some tests and I have found that is keeps everheating.
The only option I have left is to replace the fan unless anyone can think of anything else. Maybe you have the same problem.

Have you got decent home-and-contents insurance - sometimes they will pay out for a smashed lappy. Best of luck!
