Dropped macbook. Shut off and made beeping noise. Working now, should I be worried?

My macbook pro fell on the floor, it immedietly shut down and began to make 3 audible alarm like beeping sounds over and over again. From what I could gather it sounds like the ram probably became dislodged. I risked a forced restart of the computer and it appears to be working fine now (currently in the process of backing it up). Was it just a false alarm, or should I be worried and need to take it in? Thanks!

If it's working OK, I wouldn't take it in to Apple unless you feel you should. However, it might be a good idea to open it up and re-seat the memory modules. There are two in your MacBook Pro. It's very easy to open your machine up, remove the modules and put them back in. If you're in doubt how to do it, go the the ifixit site and look at their step by step instructions.

Go into Apple System Profiler (About this Mac) > Memory and see what is reported as to memory installed.

I thought about that as well, making sure everything was in there nice and snug. Unfortunately I don't have the drill bits for the mac. Also that would void my warranty, correct (thank god I ended up opting for the 3 year deal)?

It appears all ram slots are being used. Thanks!

You don't need drill bits to open a MacBook Pro. If it's standard unibody MBP all is needed is a small philips screwdriver. If it's a Retina MacBook Pro the base will be fixed on by security screws, no need to undo as the RAM is soldered to the logic board so can't shake loose.
