Got the laptop to boot up this morning!
PeppA was doing a little cleaning, had picked up the laptop, then accidentally dropped it an inch or two. That was yesterday.
Last night, on my way to bed, I noticed that the two LED's that were on, were both blue, instead of one blue and one red. I opened the lid, and hit the power button. It started the boot sequence!
However, it didn't boot. It started beeping, and gave me a black screen with a flashing cursor on the upper left corner.
That's happened before, and I've found that if I stop it, and hit the power button again, usually a total of three times, it will boot up.
It booted this morning. I'm still getting the "flashing" issue with the Start button, Show desktop button, the arrow to expand the Quicklaunch menu, and the last icon on the screen that I used.
Now to find out iff there's anything I can do to save it. I've got some files I want to transfer off as well.
