My laptop screen looks like it has two curving crisscrossing wite threads on
it. Turned off, it looks like they are cracks, but not to the feel. Else
works fine. Is it hazardous (eg mercury)? If I do nothing, will it get
worse. I may have leaned on it, but don't recall any accident.

If it's old, it could use CCFL back lighting which has a small amount of mercury. I don't believe there's any in an LED based display.
 
You may have cracked it if you closed the top and there was something inside just a wee bit bigger than the gap between the screen and keyboard/mousepad.
 
If you can see the defect with the laptop turned off in a bright light on an angle, then the inside glass layer is cracked. These cracks do generally get worse. If it's a newish laptop, you can change the screen.

I do not have one. Perhaps contact them and see if they can get you one?
About 4-5 years ago, I needed a manual for another piece of equipment they made back in the 80's. I called them and was able to purchase it.
Also the upgraded unit, the VA-62, has a few more features and may be a viable alternative to acquire and find a manual for? It is 5-6? years newer.
Good luck

I know that about HP. Been specing lab equipment for my uses in our/my labs for 35+ years. Apologies if it came across that way
