Hi Nutsohairy -)).
It sounds like you have damaged the drive. Although HDU's these days are pretty solid dropping them can still damage them, even a little drop as you say.
Try doing a drive scan for bad blocks and see if that picks anything up.

I would double check and reseat everything you you can, Ram, HDD etc. Most laptop's have access panels on the bottom to access Ran and HDD. Try these first.
