My 49g+ fell off my book, and onto the floor. I know this is coincidental, but therein lies the humor:
When I picked it up, the display read: DROP Error
The machine was on, and likely had an empty stack. It must have struck the <- key. Incidentally, it split the case open, and there are rattling sounds from within. This was a 2.25 foot drop onto linoleum flooring.
This reminds me of an HP ad for the first notebook (HP 100?) which showed it being dropped onto asphalt. Has anyone dropped a 48g? Damage?
