I was playing a game on my laptop and as soon as I picked it up to move it I heard a sort of scratch sound and now my screen is flashing pixelated squares on a black screen. I cannot turn the computer on and off and im 99% the battery is dead. What do I do?

If you can't turn it on, then you are unable to run any diagnostics to find out the problems.
This is most likely a failed screen, but this could also be a failed video chip -- and you have no way to check out either.
You only option is to take this to a local laptop repair shop and see if there is anything they can do for you.
