I started by logging into OsTicket.

I then went to the tickets tab. There are 2 open tickets. I began triage by prioritizing Karen's ticket due to Organization-defined Policies/ SLA, perceived business impact, and ticket age.

Based on Karen's post. I assigned the ticket to myself, updated the SLA to C, and changed the help topic to Personal Computer Issues from Business Critical Outage

I called Karen to gather more information. By asking questions, I was able to analyze the issue more effectively. I was also able to arrange a pickup to begin hands-on diagnostics and repairs.

Below is the step-by-step diagnostic procedure I used to determine whether the screen was damaged or the integrated graphics chip was damaged. The result was a damaged LCD.

To begin the repair, I had to determine the make and model of the laptop. After I checked if we had replacement LCDs available or if I had to order them. Lucky we had replacements on site.

Below is step-by-step instructions on locating where the make and model sticker is located and the box where I found the replacement laptop with the LCD.

I continued updating the ticket by posting the repair process and stating that it was successfully completed. I delivered the working laptop and power adapter back to Karen. She confirmed the laptop booted and the screen was fixed.

Below is the screen replacement process with pictures.
