My goodness!!! That really is a pain when it is a silent but deadly death. You never know the laptop will give out until it does. I hope everything goes well!

Good evening everyone. Bad news. My $1,400 laptop (Lenovo Legion Y740) is broken after two and a half years of using it. Long story ahead, skip to bottom for summary.
Moving into my college dorm, I dropped my laptop. It wasn't a particularly hard impact or anything, but looking back, I think something broke inside the laptop. A week and a half passed without my laptop giving my any problems, so I thought everything was going to be fine. Wrong. One Tuesday afternoon, I power up my laptop to discover that it can't get past the booting screen. I try everything: turning it on and off, trying to start it in safe mode, but nothing worked.
I take my laptop to Student Technology Services (STS) in the hopes that they'll be able to repair my laptop. I had to miss esports tryouts because of that (future varsity League of Legends player btw), but whatever. It'll be totally fine if my laptop is fixed in the end. Now its the next Tuesday, and my laptop is fixed. Awesome! The sad thing is that they had to remove all of my files and reinstall Windows, but since they also backed up most of my files, everything is (mostly) fine.
I start up my laptop, and everything seems normal. Some programs became corrupted once I transferred my old files back to my laptop, so I had to reinstall them. While installing Adobe Premiere Pro, my laptop froze up. So, I restarted my laptop. Guess what? The same problem happened again, and I couldn't start my laptop up.
So here we are. My current plan is for the STS people to give me my backed up files on an external hard drive. Then, I'll buy a new laptop (one that isn't internally damaged), and transfer my files. However, during this time, I cannot work on videos. I'm very sorry about that. I have one video that I've already uploaded on YouTube, waiting to be made public, and two other videos that need only a little bit of editing. Right now, I have my schedule set to having one video uploaded once every two weeks until I can return to the working conditions I had before this mess. I'm so sorry that this happened, and I'll try to not have this happen in the future.
tl;dr: I dropped my laptop, it broke, I can't create content anymore but I'll still upload a video in two weeks.
