so i broke my LCD, and because they're pretty expensive, i just hooked up an external monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse until i could afford an LCD (which i just ordered, but i'd like to resolve my issue in the meantime)

after i ran the most recent update, i could not get my system to boot. when i pushed on the LCD (to relieve some pressure probably) i could see a black screen with a big error message on it, and the dreaded "please restart your computer" gray box in the middle. when i try to unplug the monitor before i boot, it'll start up, but the second i plug it back in, i get the same error message.

is there any way i can resolve this without seeing my screen? like, can i rollback my updates? or am i going to have to wait for the LCD to come in? (i'm capable of doing the repair myself so i didn't see the point in paying $800 for apple to do it or me)
