(Almost) dropped laptop, still working but very slow
Hi there.
I was unfortunate and clumsy enough to almost drop my laptop the other day. I managed to catch it in the air before it hit the ground, but it immediately turned off because the battery was moved slightly when I caught it. It seemed to work afterwards though - except, as it turned out, it's now incredibly slow.
I figure I have to send it in for repair, but before I spend money on that I just wanted to ask here first - could it be a software issue caused, perhaps, by the power being suddenly cut? Or is a hardware issue much more probable (as I fear)?
Thanks in advance :)
