    Remove and re-seat both the HDD and your CDROM drive...
    Do this with the battery removed and all power disconnected.

        Try reseating the CPU and memory. By the sounds of it the POST is failing.

        Can you try linking up to external monitor to see if you can get any more info?

        Are you getting any audible bleeps?

          You dropped it. Who knows what broke? Hard drive, other components? If I were you I'd take it to a shop or send it to the manufacturer for evaluation and repair.
