Aluminum Macbook Dent

[mjkusy13]

I just had a metal lock fall from about 4 feet onto my aluminum 13 inch macbook, creating a large circular dent on the back in the process. The macbook was closed at the time so it only hit the back, but it definitely hit it hard. The apple on the back weirdly flashed on and off when this happened, so originally I thought that this was an indicator that my screen had possibly broke. However, everything seems fine, and the only damage is aesthetic in the dent on the back. Is there anything that I should be looking out for, and any idea why the Apple logo flashed for a few seconds? Thanks

When it hit the computer the force of it probably triggered the opening sensor, and the computer thought it was open for a second upon impact. That is my best guess.
