Oh jeeze... My parents are gonna kill me.... Anyways here's what happened. I have a laptop computer. There was a smudge on the screen and I went to wipe it off... AND THE SCREEN CRACKED. The inner part cracked, not the outer part. Now there is a black blob on the left of my screen and I cant see anything exept about a 2x3 inch triangle on the top left of my screen. Luckily I was able to use that to set up the properties to accept a second monitor plugged into this one. But I need to fix this before my parent's find out. Is there any way I can fix this without spending money? Or am I royaly screwed? Please, I need your help on this one. I don't want to have to cry myself to sleep over my laptop...

You didn't do anything wrong, you were just trying to clean the screen. I would just tell your parents what happened, they'll understand. Accidents happen after all :shrug:

Afterwards, try to find out if you have a warranty for the laptop that may be able to cover what happened to the screen.

At least you have that second monitor to use until the laptop one gets fixed. They should care if it was an accident and you found a temporary way around it. That's just my guess though.

Hey do not worry it is ok anything can get just as anything can break even solid steel safes can break after all metal just does not (doesn't) bend.

Yeah just see if you can get it replaced under warranty. My laptop's display went blank after 3 days and I had to get it replaced. Just don't make a fantastic story up about it to your parents. The screens aren't exactly protected by much so cracking could happen pretty easily; I'm always worried about mine.
