Most likely it can be fixed. The question is how much do you want to spend to get it fixed. It probably is one of three issues;
1. Loose connection between the video cable and the LCD screen.
2. Defective LCD screen.
3. Defective motherboard
If you are lucky, it is problem #1. In the fall, the cable became dislodged.
If the fall caused either # 2 or 3, then either component would have to be replaced.
Do you have an external monitor than you can hook up to the laptop to see if you get a picture?
Is it under warranty? In other words, did you buy it new and the warranty is still good?
