I dropped my camera when I was walking down the stairs in my house last summer. It was on at the time and I was recording a video. It dropped from about a 5 foot height since it was in my hands at the time. When I picked it up, the screen was black and it wouldn't turn off or on. The screen is still black when I try to turn it on, and the lens doesn't move in or out. I have fresh batteries in it, so that is not the problem. Any ideas? It's no longer under warranty. It's a couple years old. I think I bought it new around 2009 or 2010.
It is toast - same thing happened to mine - the shock from the impact killed the LCD.

you can hang it up and get ready to buy a new one because its not a do it yourself job and it would cost more to have it fixed than it would to buy another one just like it

It appears you've knocked the camera lens barrel out of it's guides. On the outer rim of the lens barrel are small channels which match with metal pins sticking out of the barrel guide (the part of the camera where the lens slides into on switch off) I've seen people tell others on the Net to bash the camera with lens down on a hard surface. PLEASE, PLEASE don't do that. It may work once in a thousand tries but it will more than likely make the problem worse and even snap the metal pins off or scar the barrel for good.
I'm afraid it sounds like a definite trip to the repair shop. Its certainlý not something you should attempt yourself unless you feel confident you can handle extremely complicated and extremely fiddly work. I purchased probably 20 broken cameras to work on before even attempting opening a customers camera and of course they are all different. Your camera requirers a complete pulldown as the lens is the last item to be extracted. I pulled apart over 50 lenses and then got them reassembled before daring to do the same to a customers and fell confident about it. So your camera deserves a good tech who knows his stuff. I always worked under the rule "if it's not fixed you don't pay" but I doubt if there's too many around anymore. Maybe that's why I'm not dring a Ferrari.
