Dropped my laptop

Clarifications

that sucks. but as long as everything is running ok except the fans i say you got lucky and dont worry about it.

Its not clear to me from your description if you are getting video, and if the system boots all the way into Windows.

The RAM may have bounced loose. The hard drive may have froze up, and the internal video cable may have come unseated.

You may try reseating the RAM, and removing the hard drive and seeing if you get any video.

You also may see if the video will work with an external monitor.

that the cpu cooler has come loose and its shutting down to save itself. The fans would rev and slow I guess depending on its current reading. I would also check to make sure all fans are tightly plugged in. A good time to clean out dust etc while you have it all appart.

If the laptop is in warranty, I would bring it to an authorized service center, as if you opened the laptop, it probably would void the warranty. If not it, could not hurt to open it up and re-seat all the connections and see if anything was jarred loose, depending on your comfort level. (As a side note, laptops are very fragile once you get past the outer casing. It does not take much force to break a tab or crack the LCD screen while trying to remove it from the case taking it apart.) It sounds like it could be shutting down due to a thermal problem (fans slow then fast).

I can get it open to the point I have the display separated and can see harddrive. From there I will need some guidance.
Thanks!
