No worries, anytime. Hope they can fix it for you OK. If you feel adventurous, try opening up the machine and look for cables that have gotten pinched, see if you can free them up. Look also for connectors that, for some reason, have become unseated. Working carefully, of course: it could be a solution that is as easy as that.
Laptops are built to be portable, and when you move them, the cables and guts inside them move, too. That’s how things shake loose over time.
Good luck Mate. And Happy Independence Day!

I had a problem similar to yours a couple of years ago on a Dell laptop.
Turned out to be a read problem with the hard drive and it had to be replaced.
The best thing I ever did was invest in an external backup drive and Acronis software. It makes an image copy of your hardrive so in my case after I replaced the drive, booted to the Acronis boot disk and copied my back up to the new drive.
Had everything back the way it was before the failure in about an hour and ten minutes, programs and everything.
Best stuff on the market and not very expensive, about $80.00
Good luck
