Hey guys. As the title says, I dropped my phone from maybe 1.5 feet from a bed, and now when I try to turn it on it will not get passed the white HTC logo boot screen.

The phone is rooted, and was working perfectly before the drop. I can get into HBOOT (I think it's called that), by holding volume down and the power button, but when I press "Recovery" to access a nandroid backup, I once again get stuck at the white boot screen.

Any ideas?

Have you tried taking the battery out and let it sit for.a few.minutes?

Yes, I've tried that many times. I managed to get into the recovery option and ran a nandroid recovery I backed up the other day, but still I'm having the same problem.

I get to my lockscreen, and I can see that the phone looks to be working fine, I can see I have 3G running, and wifi, and my provider is on the screen and the clock is working etc, but the touch screen is not working so I can't open my lock screen.

Sounds like the drop jostled out the digitizer flex cable.
