Q: I dropped my phone my macbook air keyboard and now the screen is not displaying properly
I have a mid-2013 macbook air with 8G RAM, 512G HD and i7 CPU. I accidentally dropped my phone on the keyboard and for some reason my screen is now all messed up. There is a segment of the screen that is about two inches wide and in the shape of an L where the vertical portion of the L is white and the horizontal portion of the L shows a spectrum of various colors.
I'm using a keyboard cover but for the life of me I can't explain why dropping something on the keyboard would make the screen all wonky. So, the question is, did something happen to the board, the wiring, or the actual screen? And, if so, what course of action do I take? I should mention that I'm not averse to getting my hands dirty. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
