The laptop display is an LCD, make sure that the resolution
is set to the proper "native" resolution for that display.
But very likely the display has been damaged and will need
to be replaced. The fact that it works properly using an
external monitor indicates that the software and internal
video drivers are working properly. It could just be a bad
cable that goes through the hinge, but more likely, the LCD
is broken.
