#bc rn i try to type stuff onto the slides on my computer and then write everything down after class bc i'm not fast enough to write

[jothriku]

So like, if anyone is good w/ computers (particularly macs??) I’d really appreciate any tips bc looking at stuff online hasn’t really helped so far :’(

my computer’s a 2016 MacBook Pro (w/ the touchbar)

i was lying on my bed w/ the laptop around my feet, open, but I never once touched it or kicked it or anything

once I realized it was still open, I moved to close it and slide it onto the ground. I saw that the screen looked on, but black and there was a sorta crack/damage in the bottom left corner of the screen

im p sure the ‘crack’ is on the inside bc there’s no crack on the surface of the screen. it kinda looks like when u drop your phone and it makes the pixels on the screen get all messed up and little lines start appearing?? except on a smaller scale

no matter how many times I turn off my computer or how many keys I press, the black screen won’t go away. I’ve tried typing in my password and closing the laptop a few times but nothing

it’s definitely on & can charge I think (it made the noise when I plugged in the charger), but this black screen won’t go away

I really can’t afford to take it to get fixed tbh. ppl online said it’d cost anywhere from $600-800 & like. I DO NOT have that type of money rn (especially since I’m about to take a trip to go see my grandma in Central America??)

I /need/ my compter ASAP tbh, and in any other situation I’d get over my reservations & try to open up emergency commissions to cover the costs of repair, but seeing as my computer isn’t working I don’t see how that’s gonna happen

If anyone has ANY suggestions or tips, please tell me. I’m making myself sick w/ worry and guilt over this & idek how it happened!! thank u

#i really wanted to have this one drawing done by tomorrow but... #im juat really smad. if i knew what happened i might be less upset but rn im just. ugh #also ty to @kahswan for already trying to give me suggestions #ill keep looking online to see if theres anything i can find but #id really appreciate any help any of you could give me #tbd
