Hey guys
I just dropped my phone and the phone is refusing to turn on.
The LED light is blinking red four times in sequence and its repeating that sequence only.

Any methods to get it to boot up or should I take it down to a hardware guy to check if i've messed it up completely?

Please help!!!

similar to having no MFI, damage to the flash rom maybe? could be a wrong guess tho

how does it exactly blink? blinks four times then stops for a few seconds and comes back blinking again?

Whats MFI?
Its just not turning on.. I've been trying desperately to get it to boot up even.

Infact, i hooked it up to the computer and the USB connected sound comes, but the LED is still flashing and Device Manager is not reflecting the PIN and saying Device Not Connected.

HELP Please!!!

YES! Thats excatly how the blinking goes!
Now that I have the apploader started, its stopped blinking, but it had all the previous apps unchecked..
Should i go ahead and check all the apps again and try loading them?

Couldn't hurt. May not fix everything either, but you're not going to damage the phone by running the AppLoader.

Going ahead and finishing the Apploader by selecting all the unselected apps. Will update once it is complete.

I've got to be BOLD in these situations!
And wait patiently while it "Connects to the device"

Sounds about right. The hourglass is a good sign.

Did you try pulling the battery and letting it reboot on its own?
