Hello ,
So a few days back I dropped my laptop , an elitebook 8470p from my hand . The fall was really short since it just dropped from the desk to the chair . After that when i tried to reboot it took me to a recovery state asking me to scan memory and hard drive first . Memory scan came out fine but hard drive one returned with a "cannot be found" error . I tried rebooting but it keeps giving me no boot device , hard drive found .
I did open the laptop and just saw that one of the screws had come off , not from hard drive . I put that back in and didnt notice any other problems . Could it be that the hdd couldve just like gotten a shake and disconnected or its a totally hopeless case and I'll need a new drive ?
Thank you in advance .
