Dropped laptop, leads to kernel panic?

Hello.

I just dropped my laptop(when off), I tyed booting, but after I started X, I had to forcefully shutdown( doesn't look good:( ) .It's trying to run a 'ext2fsck' when the kernel panic occur's,

Code:

Inode 383423 has imagic flag set.



Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

etc...

Any advice from the expert's would be helpfull.

It was loose ram(from the fall), my dear laptop is fine!

I know what you mean....I still have this feeling that somethings wrong lurking inside that I can't get to...or fix...
It made me feel better to take it apart and put it back together nice and tight.
