Not SURE if I should post this in the software or hardware problems, so I took a guess. lol.

Anyway, This morning, I dropped a LAPTOP. About 2 feet onto a concrete floor.  Now when I try to start it up, the light with the lightening bolt over it blinks three times and nothing happens. I have tried holding the power button for 30 seconds, but still nothing.

Any ideas on what happened when I dropped it?

All I know about the laptop is:
HP G61
Windows 7Hi,

I suspect that some connectors or hardware parts have been misaligned.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01732674&cc=ad&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen

I suspect the main board or battery damaged, or battery connection with laptop is damaged from the fall. Remove the battery and look for damage to it. If no damage FOUND, this laptop will probably have to go in for servicing especially if the laptop is powered off an outlet and still showing this problem. ( One last step would be to remove the battery and power the laptop off of the outlet without battery and see if it will boot or still flash the code ) *If powered off the wall its completely dead without flash CODES, then the charging circuit is LIKELY damaged on the main board and the battery is too weak to boot the computer and unable to take a charge due to a cracked trace in the circuit board etc.

 At this website, it refers to this problem as:

Insufficient charge on the batteryIf the battery light LED (which looks like a lightning bolt  ) flashes, the battery has insufficient charge to start the computer. To resolve this error, try the following solutions.
