[Dropped] WD MyBook Essentials and Acer Aspire 4715 Z
Hi,
Yesterday while en route home, I dropped my bag which contained both items about 2 feet. It were the last two steps in a staircase.
First off, I was so pissed at myself knowing how careful I am with my gadgets. I just couln't believe I dropped them.
I'll be using quote tags to separate both hardware.
In any case, upon getting home, I did what most people in this case do, do some rigorous testing until I find the damage/s that my stupidity at the time has caused.
First off was the Acer Aspire, there were no physical damages except for the broken hinges that locked the LCD at the front. Take note that these are not the hinges at the back which allow the LCD move.

I'm guessing there's no more fix to that?
Secondly, I've done some brutal testing with almost all the hardware components.
Here's what I used for said testing:
TestMem support page. TestVideoRAM
Then, luckily enough, no damage to those either.
After testing, I tested the speakers and webcam too. They were still functioning correctly.Anything else I can do in this situation? I feel terrible up until now and would like some advice.Second was Western Digital MyBook Essentials
The hardware damage was the shell at side was not aligned with body. This happened only on one side. I managed to carefully stick it back on it's proper alignment and I see no physical sign that it got misaligned in the first place. I'm thinking it was removed from the latch when it dropped and I simply put it back in.
Then, the first thing I did after seeing that Windows was still happily able to detect it is back up all mission critical for me and family data.
Then I wen't on ahead and used HDTune to test it, which took about 700 minutes
