LCD failure
Hello,
I accidentally broke my LCD screen. So I opened my laptop and unplugged the plugs - and plugged in a monitor via HDMI. I can't plug my broken LCD because the wires are torn.
I get the LCD failure LED (7 white 2 orange).
Despite I have a HDMI monitor, my LESs will give me the error code and the PC shutdowns after aprox. 10 seconds after booting into windows (I can log in etc...).
What can I do so this stupid PC doesn't shut down? Everything else is working fine.
Model: Inspiron 17 gaming.

Sounds like there is more damage than just the LCD itself, but it's worth replacing that first - most systems won't even POST without a working display. If that doesn't solve the problem, chances are you've got some other damage -- could be a damaged hard drive (particularly if an impact took out the display) or a damaged mainboard.
