I accidently dropped a plastic jar (less then 7oz)onto the area to the bottom right of the keyboard. It's heavy enough to where I'm worried something could be damaged internally. I've checked the HDD for errors and it says it's fine. I also checked the program Crystal Disc Info and it also says everythings working normally.  I don't hear any odd sounds or anything that appears to be abnormal. Do you think I have anything to worry about?

As you note, the hard drive resides in that area. If the hard drive was actively reading/writing when the impact occurred it would be more likely to cause damage. But since you've already run a diagnostics and don't hear anything unusual then I can say with confidence you are fine. :OpenSmile:
