Help my wife dropped my MacBook Pro

Yep, she dropped my laptop. Hopefully someone can tell me what to do when you have the white/gray screen with the Apple in the middle and the timer below the Apple just keeps going in circles, it never boots up. There is a small dent on the bottom of the laptop and it seems to have fallen on the flat side and not directly on the edges.

MacBook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I would connect the router via the USB port but I'm not sure that would work, if not one of the ethernet connections, restoring wirelessly could take days and days.

THanks for all the info. I just ordered a 250GB Seagate. This machine is limping to the barn and I CAN"T WAIT to drop the new drive in. Productivity will go up at least 25% I am certain!!!
