Try connecting an external monitor to the laptop’s HDMI port and check what the display is like on it when the laptop is on. Even a TV can be used as an external monitor if you have the appropriate cable to connect the two together.
I don’t know Chromebooks so not sure if you have to press any function keys to extend the display from the laptop to an external monitor or not.
If there is a display on the external monitor and it is OK then perhaps there is a faulty video cable connection (due to the fall) on either the motherboard or the LCD panel or worse case is that the LCD panel is faulty.
