Today I dropped my phone on the floor. I had it in my hand and I let it slip.
The battery fell out and I quickly put it back. This has actually been the first time i've dropped my phone. When I tried to put it on the LED light gets white and stays white for like 1.5 to 2 seconds. (Longer then it usually does) The background lighting from the keyboard lights up the whole time.
After the LED is out the background lighting is still on.
No response on the screen whatsoever. It stays black, the multiboot menu does not start up. I am really afraid I broke my screen. It does not have a big scratch on it or something. It's still normal.
Is there anyway I could check if it still functions normally? And is it possible to change the screen without buying a new one? Can I still recover my data?
EDIT: I guess it is really the screen. I tried using the 1 button. (Boots into normal Maemo kernel) and the lighting from the keyboard dims for a second. Means it's actually booting.
How did I break my device this fast

I dropped mine from waist height and it required a trip to the shop to replace the display to fix it. Had symptoms quite similar to yours. It got rid of the two bright points for several months, but they came back eventually. That was almost a year ago and it is still going strong.
