I dropped my laptop, and it won't turn on...

Ok, so I was walking with my computer, and I dropped it. Now it will go to the Dell loading screen, but not past that. I can access the F12 menu and BIOS. It keeps making a beeping noise, and I really need my laptop. What do I do? I have Windows 7, and it's an E6520. Please help......

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Yes No

Tell us about the beeping noise? Any pattern to it? Can your BIOS see the hard drive?

It's soft and constant. I don't know about the Bios seeing the hrd drive, but I can try to check....

You might try to pull your RAM, your battery and disconnect the AC Power. Hold the power button down for 10-15 sec then reinsert your memory (one module only) replace the battery and see if it starts up. Check top make sure that the hard drive is properly seated as well.
