Laptop Dropping, Among Other Things >_>

Dropped my laptop on Sunday before we headed home to Logan. Yeah... *headdesk* That was bad. Anyway, I thought it was fine for a while, until I noticed a problem that wasn't going away. Every time I boot the laptop up, it reverts the screen resolution back to 800x600. Yeah-- not so cool. But! Fix found already! Turns out that the display

How old is the laptop? If it's more than maybe 2-3 years old, it's not likely to be worth it, especially if the fan has gone bad and completely needs to be replaced.

If the fan isn't bad and has only somehow lost its power connection or something, then that's easier to fix, but I still wouldn't take it in anywhere to have them do that-- I'd probably get someone who's semi-familiar with laptop disassembly to try to fix it for me.
