Laptop took a knock...

[Evol]

Long story short my mrs tripped in our living room while holding her laptop, which managed to bounce about 3 times and end up on the other side of the room.

The lid was closed thankfully, but now it wont boot. Just hangs on the very first startup screen.

Is it likely that something is well and truly screwed? I know harddrives are pretty sensitive to knocks and the like - or could it just be somethings come loose somewhere?

Any response or input welcome.

The laptop is an Acer Aspire Gemstone 5710, or something along those lines. Was bought as a present by her parents about a year ago.

I had a look on the underside, it appears only the battery is removable without unscrewing some screws in other compartments, is it worth me having a look?
