Phone Dropped, screen not working but LED is flashing (blue to white)

Hello, as obvious from the title I dropped my Galaxy S6 and the screen is black. Turning the phone one just gets me a flashing LED and nothing else. The phone is still in the warranty period. If I sent it for servicing is there any way for them to know that I actually dropped my phone?

Is there anything inside the phone that can break or shatter from a meter-long fall?

Or is the screen broken because something is misplaced which shouldn't be much of a big deal?

Thanks a lot

elchinaxundov, Check the link below and play the vid., as the Samsung phones are subjected to drop test and from 1 meter should have survived. Return under warranty for repair/replacement/refund. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Thanks for the tips. The fall was DEFINITELY below 1 m. And assuming that Samsung decides that the damage was done by fall and would not be covered how much should I approximately expect to pay in order to get a screen replacement?

by

Wow, that's like more than half the cost of a phone. I'll see what I can do :)

Just curious, if a screen stops working because of a fall, does that mean something is irreversibly wrong with it that it needs to be replaced or does the fall make something displaced inside that can be fixed without replacement?

by

Just A screen replacment is commonly needed drops can lead to other issues at this point screen replacement is the best option

I see, then I'll probably won't push my luck and go for the screen replacement. Thanks for the advice :)
