Internal Hard Disk Drive Not Found

So I was having some anger management issues and kinda smacked my laptop. When I tried to turn it on, it said that my internal hard drive was not found, and that I had to try to reseat it. But anyway, I tried to do the PSA System Assessment or something like that, and here are the results:

Error Code: 2000-01 42

Validation 111434

Msg. Hard Drive 0 - S/N 1 4D6S65NS, Short self test unsuccessful

Please help

Hi Sarenas285,

I hope you have your files backed up, because your hard drive needs to be replaced.

You need a laptop SATA drive for this system. The replacement procedure can be found in your manuals. To reinstall the operating system, follow the link below.
