Disassemble laptop?
Is it safe to disassemble laptop? My phone fell right in the middle of the keyboard and now it relaying a "no media, Fail to boot" error message. From the research I have done, I think its a disconnection of the hard drive from the motherboard.
PS: it keeps on beeping when turned on and a diagnostic test says the hard drive is not installed.

Very little disassembly required - one screw and the drive slides out.
However, if the system was powered on when the accident occurred, you're more likely to find the drive was destroyed than just loosened. Power off, remove or disconnect the battery and remove and reinstall the drive. If it shows up again, run a diagnostic on it (F12 at powerup). If it does not, replace it with a new one.
