Q: Dropped my Macbook Pro

Hi,

As many people have before me, I dropped my MacBook Pro about 2.5- 3 feet from a table when I closed it, not knowing half of it was sticking off the edge. It didn't have any dents or noticeable damage of any sort. The thing is when I tried to turn it on, the white screen turned on and stayed like that for a while. Then a picture of a folder with a question mark started flashing in the middle of the screen. So far it doesn't do anything else. I opened the bottom to look for any damage there, but nothing looked out of place and I didn't want to mess with it... So now I'm just wondering if all is lost or what on earth to do with it... There are no Mac stores or any computer places in my area, otherwise I might take it there... Please help!!!
