Acer aspire bootup problem

SWMBO is experiencing some trouble with her Acer Aspire One 722 P1VE6.

The other day it had a small brush with gravity. All seemed fine until it was shut down, 2 days later, and then didn't want to boot up again.

A message appeared "No bootable device detected". A quick look revealed that the case underneath the machine was not sitting correctly. This was removed and the plug to the HDD was reseated. Subsequent attempts to boot resulted in the message "Check cable connection PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM"

After a reformat all appeared as normal except that, yes you guessed it, it will not boot up from shutdown, hibernate is fine. After a restart or shutdown the Check cable connection message reappears.

I don't want to rip it apart to much as it is still under warranty, but my suspicion is that something on the motherboard has been displaced when the little tyke "jamp" off the windowsill.

Any ideas how best to proceed will be appreciated.
