Answer» My mom has a dell all in one type desktop. She knocked it over and now you can only see 1/2 the screen. The computer was expensive for her income. Is this something that COULD be fixed as the computer itself SEEMED to work if we hook up a different monitor. Quote ...hook up a different monitor. You have answered your own question.Maybe part of the monitor screen was damaged and the repair would be to replace the screen. The cost of a monitor repair may be more that the cost of a good used monitor. Check with some local people, or look in a list of thins for sale in your area. Also, on eBay a used monitor goes for about $35 for a 15 inch size. You might even want e to see if thee is a exact replacement monitor for the dell all-in-one. Another idea. Some TV sets have an input for VGA or digital monitor. You might have a FRIEND or family member that has one they are not using. [I was going to suggest you drop the monitor again. But I didn't.] Geek is spot on with this one... there is no sure to a damaged display other than using a different display as you have or replacing the damaged screen. She is very lucky that the hard drive didnt get hurt in the process as for is that happened the system wouldnt be usable without that repaired so she is very fortunate that of all damage it was just the display only. I have a friend with a new laptop that he placed the laptop on the RECLINER and walked away and and his MOTHER sat down on it by accident not looking just sitting and she cracked the display to wheer nothing shows. The solution for him was to connect it to his TV and use that as the monitor with the HDMI port. So the laptop is more of a desktop now, but at least still usable. He cant afford to get it fixed so its no longer a laptop i guess.To be 110% sure i would double-triple check all Control Panel settings...i've seen this before and the display turned out to be fine. Just a thought.Thanks we will give it a shot
