Morgan ⚧️Does anyone have ideas for how to fix a laptop after its screen was taken off? We don't want to put the screen back on bc it's broken, but snipping those wires made it so the computer won't start. Apparently the wires they snipped were bundles of insulated wires and there was a bit of a spark when they snipped them, so I'm afraid there was a short. Would that make the laptop unfixable? <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/computerHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computerHelp</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/computerRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computerRepair</a>
