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

Thanks for the fast response!
Is there any keyboard combination for accepting the mass storage device? So I can at least secure my data. Since I am able to boot into Maemo and I can see it actually sees the USB being connected.

Try using the video out cable with a TV to see what you are doing. Does the touch screen work, i.e. when it asks you if you want to use USB Mass Storage, and you press the screen, does it accept the input?
If not all isn't lost, you can still use xterm to scp your files across to your PC, or there is still the Rescue Initrd that can be loaded up to give you access to your data.
