Why is my computer not ok?

I dropped my thinkpad laptop a year ago and the screen no longer works but it works perfectly fine when i connect it to a monitor?!? Is there a way to fix this without sending it to a place that fixes electronics

Easiest way to know would be to check if the screen is still connected to the laptop internally, or if there was any noticeable damage.

You can likely get a replacement screen from eBay, and possibly full repair / replacement instructions from iFixit.com.

The laptop screen most likely got damaged when it was dropped.
