I hook up an external monitor. If it's OK and the laptop LCD is messed up, then I lean towards the LCD or connections to the LCD...

Several months ago I accidently dropped my laptop and now I am having issues with the video. A friend of mine said it was the monitor, so I purchased one off e-bay. Today a tech was setting up a new internet phone service in my home and said it was my video card. If someone has similar problems could you please direct me in the approiate direction.
