Ugh. That's scary. I've dropped mine on a couple of different occasions moving it from A to B. Thankfully it's always been in it's carry bag, and it's always fired right up. That said, the black screen right before the loading bar in Windows always seems to take forever to go by after it's been dropped. My imagination, I'm sure, but it's like it knows you dropped it, and now its gonna make you sweat.
