Before you did this, was the screen functioning as per normal?
yup, i was just playing osu then i bsod, after that, i tried booting it back twice but directly blue screened, & i can't boot it back since.

PS: ive been able to get the caps lock blinking again, so hopefully i can reboot it after a few reboots. For some reason its also very sensitive, pressing the space bar normally will cause it to blue screen, i however never dropped it so i don't see why it would have an hardware weakness as such.

sorry if i take a while to reply, im currently trying to manually deobfuscate a malware & just trying to rebuild its code

well it does, there is no corruption on it (ive been able to boot in windows and everything, but it bricked again), theres only 3 things that i suspect being the reason to why this happens: CMOS battery (ive replaced it, didn't fix anything), actual laptop battery & BIOS corruption.

PS: the 2 times i was able to boot on it said there was a CMOS corruption somewhere, i don't know if that help.

I've yet to experience a space bar causing a BSOD.

Apart from that, how Is It functioning?

the space bar didn't cause it, but the weight did i guess since ive been able to press the space bar very lightly a few times. it is still not booting :C

Either way, It was/Is related to the functionality of the space bar.

What're you experiencing when trying to boot?

it isn't, putting any presure on it caused a blue screen, however it would just boot back up, i have a seperate keyboard & mouse but there weren't anywhere near at that time

Judging by your comment below, I'm under the Impression that It Is related to the space bar.

Greetings! i suggest doing this first: open your laptop and then clean the Ram and if you can remove it and put it back again thats good, and also remove the HDD or the SSD and put them back again, if the problem accure again try to see the screen cable inside maybe got removed by mistake.

cant remove RAM & ive already did that, the display cable is still plugged in, it is unlikely it is anything to do with the display

By not laying a finger on the unit, I don't understand how this Is possible.

Probably by coincidence It crashed.
