Hello guys!
This just happened to me like 40 minutes ago or so.
I plugged a MIC in my 1215B netbook (long cable) and I felt the urgency to go to the bathroom.
Unfortunately, my foot got caught in the mic cable and I tripped. I heard a big crash noise, and turned around. Luckily, it was the mouse that had fallen, but my 1215B was about to fall. The AC cord kept it in place and I managed to grab it before it fell. It might have fallen on the armrest of my chair, so the impact (hopefully) was kinda absorbed, but it never touched the ground.
Table height is about 1m, and the armrest is roughly 15cm from the top of the table. It wasn't THE big fall but...
I panicked, picked it up, and found out it was still on and running (even downloading some music lol).
There were no visible physical damage, and I just checked the SMART analysis and shows no damage to the HDD.
Ports work fine (haven't tested ethernet or HDMI, but USBs and audio do work) and I hear no strange sounds coming from inside. However, I haven't restarted it yet, and neither did I do a complete checkdisk analysis.
I'm pretty worried about something being damaged, but since it stayed on and I haven't had any problems since then (I'm currently writing on the netbook), can I assume the pseudo-fall didn't ruin anything?
What tools can I use to determine my entire hardware integrity?
Thanks in advance.
