I have dropped my panasonic tough book when it was powered on and it now it will not boot up fully. The height of the drop was half a meter.
Why do you think it will not boot up fully as it switches off after about 30 seconds?
My thoughts are it could now have a problem HD but i dont know where to access it so i can remove it and have it checked.
thank you for your help its greatly appreciated.
Yes it is VERY likely the harddrive that is damaged given the symptoms that you are reporting, most especially if the drive was in use when the drop occurred or if it was onto a hard surface. I recommend just purchasing a new 2.5" 320gb sata drive off of ebay (asking to make sure it is compatible with your system) as they only cost $65, and self disassembling. Instructions for disassembly can be found here:

otherwise you can take the computer into a shop and pay them to fix it.
