I accidentally cracked the bottom of my laptop screen, which lead to dead pixels in my screen. It started out small, but they have been gradually getting bigger, making very noticable black or dark blue streaks and blobs appear on my screen. Is there a way to halt that progression, or fix the screen?

As I work for an Insurance Company I find this kind of frauduent behaviour both deplorable and illegal, and another thing ... blah blah, only kidding! ;)

You may want to back up any data/files off the laptop before it takes an untimely tumble. Also, make sure you don't live in a bungalow, the insurance company might see through that one.

Normally, "dead pixels" are not repairable. A good cost-effective solution is to replace the screen yourself (it is easy even if you are not a technical person - look at some on-line guide). Some websites distribute brand new LCD panels with affordable prices. You should easily find your model number and order a new screen (it is normally within $50-150 depending on model)
