Aspire e1 572g black screen

So, my very first time in over 10 years on a community forum, generally others post the same questions and I collect the answers. I own an acer aspire e1 572g, very good machine and im very satisfied with it. I recently had an accident, my sister  checked her emails and she put the laptop in a wrong place, so it fell. Long story short my display disconnected from the motherboard i think, also there is some kind of iron sticking out. I don't want to screw anything up and i don't have money for repairs at the moment. So i connected the laptop to my pc monitor. It worked, now i have a huge problem: i was trying to switch my default gpu from intel to amd, and i read that i should disable it from the device manager. Instantly black screen. I tried in a moment of desperation to short circuit the bios chip as suggested by others, since I can't unplug it from the motherboard. It didn't work, plus im not getting power on my USB ports anymore. Its quite an intricate and elegant model so im afraid to do things without first consulting someone. Is there a fix for this? I need the laptop back and running in 3 days, but it doesn't matter how much time it takes, if it will work again. A good idea i've read was creating a shortcut to enable the driver, but i have no way of doing that blindly and i don't know how to. Im desperate here, help would be a huge relief because I've ran out of ideas.

    Capra,

     

    If you can get to the advanced options screen you can try to boot into safe mode. It will use generic Windows display drivers and should get you going. You can perform a system restore, if needed, or change what you changed that caused the issue to occur in the first place.
