For the second time. Except for some superficial damage, nothing was really harmed the first time my Macbook had a drop. But I just accidentally dropped it again and now it seems like the damage is more serious. The screen that I had on when it dropped got stuck. Even the cursor isn't budging no matter how hard I rubbed the trackpad. Tried switching it off, nothing happened. The screen just won't react to anything I do and I'm freaking out. My last resort is to make a visit to the Mac store. But before I do that, perhaps any of you have had similar experience you want to share?
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like you never actually powered it off (nothing can remain on the screen once power is removed). Hold down the power button for ~15 seconds. If it doesn't have an integrated battery, you can also just remove the battery and unplug the power cord. Then try starting it again. It may have just frozen. A drop can also easily kill a hard drive, though, even with the Sudden Motion Sensor built-in, and also damage other components. I would definitely take it in for service if it continues to have problems.
