An HP Pavilion 17 laptop was dropped from a low height onto a carpet. It mostly still works, but the display resolution is very bad, almost as though the text is pixelated. It's readable, but with difficulty. (It's fine if I use an external monitor through HDMI.)
I've tried to change the Windows 10 display resolution settings, but this just changes the size of the text without actually improving the pixelated look. And curiously there are no options between 1280x768 and 1600x900. I'm sure there used to be more options.
Would it be worth trying to open this thing up and seeing if it's a matter of a loose connection somewhere? Or does this sound like something not repairable?
Thanks
EDIT: As per Tetsujin's suggestion, I have added two images of text from the machine. One is a screenshot, the other is a photograph of what it looks like on the display.
EDIT2: I have the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and it has not turned up any issues. There was no designated Display diagnostic, but the System Test included a Video Memory component, during which what looked like a scanning line moved down the screen.
