Is my laptop broken?

[bellavsinger34]

I got my laptop on Christmas 2017 and I dropped it on January 5th 2018. How do I know if it's okay? My laptop is a HP, I need help ASAP. My laptop seems fine, but ask me if it's doing certain things that broken laptops do so I know what's wrong. Make sure to tell me how to resolve it, thanks.

Most modern Laptops can handle a fall and survive.

If it turns on and the screen is working the only thing that could really be damaged and start breaking is the hardrive (if its mechanical and not an solid state drive) which unfortunately besides a grinding/screeching noise give little warning when they are about to go out sometimes.
