My granddaughter stepped on my laptop (the lid was closed) now there is a black spot on my screen. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Its up in the left hand corner I can still see 95% of my screen.

shoe, I found this article that might be of some help.

Dead pixels can be extremely distracting when you are trying to use a computer, appearing as black spots on your screen. Each individual pixel on an LCD screen is made up of three diodes -- one red, one blue and one green. If all three fail, the pixel will appear as a permanent black dot. In some circumstances, you can bring a dead pixel back to life by using a recovery application on your monitor. Recovery applications force the pixels on your monitor to change rapidly, potentially re-awakening the faulty diodes. Alternatively, massaging a dead pixel with a soft object can sometimes fix the issue.

Here is a video that might help too.
