Might not hurt to pop open all the covers and re-seat anything that looks
"re-seatable". I've seen problems crop up monts after a drop on Inspirons.
Mainly those little mini PCI modems that some of them have, popping loose
and shorting the mainboard resulting in all sorts of strange things.

Overall, they take a beating surprisingly well though, regardless of how
flimsy they may seem.
