I just dropped my laptop.
I was able to put the screen back in the....screen.
Everything looks OK, but is there like a suite to check all other stuff,
mobo, hdd, dvdrw, ram etc..

:cry:

Will it boot? Not that I would try that if any components are exposed.

Sorry but I just broke a wry smile!

Have you not got a warranty/insurance?

I can boot, and everything looks ok at first sight.
Just tested my HDD, no errors either, now DVDrw check and then
some other components.

Good luck bro. I know how hard it would be for me to be without my machine.

I spilled a cup of hot coffee on my laptop once.....for some reason it didn't like it.

One of the more embarrassing moments in my life: I was walking down some stairs with my laptop and about half way down tripped on the dangling power cord. Ignoring the fact that I fell down half a set of stairs, my Dell 6400 laptop survived without a scratch after flying in the air and landing on the ground. I was expecting such a fragile piece to shatter into a million pieces 8O

If I may recommend...

Backup Your Data, NOW!!!

They should make them like they make the phones. I dropped mine at least 2,3 times from 10m high on a concrete floor. Still works fine.

I second Nickvd's advice. Backup your data each day. So when your machine crashes, you get a new one and get working again in a day.

Dude, what kind of phone do you have. I dropped my Palm Treo twice from my fat hip and it was dead and gone. Now I am sporting a RAZR.

Just an old brick (nokia 3210 I think).

Well, those good old days, it isn't what it used to be, e?

I've dropped my razr about 50 times and it is fine.

My RAZR is pretty resilient. My Treo was crap (both of them) :cry:

Aha, the good old 3210
Would survive WWIII.
