Apart from the laptop screen which is corrupted but still intact and touch sensitivity still works properly, everything else works as normal. Not having the laptop screen displaying right is more of an inconvenience but not too much of one as my table is more like a workbench with power drills, screws, headphones, metal brackets, audio interfaces and MDF boards and has been for the past week I'm still figuring out what I need to buy from Amazon the things I need to construct the rest of my new studio setup like fixtures and fittings such as hinges, brackets, VESA mounts.ah man, that sucks.
i've had a few similar problems with tablet computers.
i hope you have a decent DAW recovery time
New screen is due to arrive on the 25th of January so hopefully not too long. I guess I now know just how much force it takes to break a laptop screen and how fragile they actually are. I've never seen any tests of just how durable laptops actually are on the internet. Youtube reviews never actually properly test the durability of any new laptop they get. All they ever do is talk about the specs, not the actual quality and durability of them and giving them a good test physically.
My plan is to build an exoskeleton frame container for this Thinkpad out of steel plate, wood, Perspex, and rubber-fabric, whilst housing motorised fans for cooling and possibly an audio interface housed in there also. It might be a bit heavier but then it will be bullet proof too.
My old laptop screen can be used as a light table with a bit of electrical wiring jiggery-pockery or perhaps light which I can use for some studio lighting.
