Question Blackberry Storm dropped on carpet from chest height, black screen. HELP?

Hi,

I have had my (Used) Blackberry Storm 9500 since may/june time, and I dropped it on grass once before. It blacked out, then came back on. This time, I dropped it on carpet, and it hasn't responded for at least a day. I've tried several battery pulls, took the battery and sim card out through the night, charged it, wiped everything off it. Nothing seemed to work. Should I just leave it turned off, in a draw for a bit. It's not under warranty, so it would cost to repair.

Any help would be good, thanks.

UPDATE: I pushed the battery in, and the screen came on. I think it's a battery problem?

It sounds like you may have a loose connection/wire.

What would happen if you dropped it from the height of my belly button?
