Macbook resets whenever moved.


hopefully goes here , not "help" forum. i'm coming guys because i'm not use solving mac-related issues. i'm more of pc guy usually.

girlfriend's macbook (older white one. bought in 2008, believe refurbished. think it's 13" i'm not positive) fell few feet yesterday (it closed, hibernating), , thought fine until later night stuff kept crashing on , reset couple of times. refused boot up. started beeping @ 3 times instead of starting up, knew had ram issue. figured maybe got knocked loose.

took out ram , put in. no dice, tried again. time mac booted normal. thought it.

except now, every time moves mac @ (which important, being laptop , all) apparently gets jostled , computer resets. 1 of these times, beeped @ 3 times again, able boot without having touch ram again.

ideas of issue or possible fix be? she's running os x. it's , running fine i'm afraid move much.
 

not fix, beep codes explained here , here.

may have sudden motion sensor, responsible parking head of hdd when sudden movement occurs.
