I turned on my Mini today and have just bars on the screen. Pretty sure I broke it by closing a car door yesterday against the pocket it was in.

Looks fine physically, but random grey lines instead of text.

Does turn off (blank screen instead of book cover) and lines change with page forward etc. so motherboard is okay AFAIK.

Doubt I will try and fix it so if anyone in Canada has a dead mini in need of a working motherboard and the time or inclination to fiddle with it PM me and I will ship it (postage collect) as I hate to just throw it out.
