Soo.... does this mean my monitor is ******?
i dropped my laptop on my toe a couple days ago (hurt like shit)
and it worked fine no issues today i was using it, everythings fine, i put it into sleep mode and when i turn it on again POW
at first i thought it was some weird Leaf design that some program put in (there were no red/green/blue/yellow/ lines at first just the black leaf)
:/
these kind of things covered under warranty?

No, that's accidental damage, and most warranties do not cover that.

lol tough luck buddy. the only way to still use your laptop though is probably to plug in a moniter to the laptop if you can. use an s-video wire if you have one cause most laptops have an s-video end.

I think some of the higher end HP line also has accidental spillage or drop replacement warranty too.

get a new laptop, hook that one to your TV with the HDMI out and use it as a HTPC or something.
