Help My phone won't turn on after being dropped for the first time... I didn't even drop it that far...

So I got a ZTE awe as a hand-me-down from my father not too long ago. It was in almost new condition. Barely used (he isn't really tech savvy as I am), never dropped EVER, never crashed, or malfunctioned.

So, about 2 days ago, I accidently dropped it from about 2 feet from the ground. After that, it won't turn on.

I tried taking the battery out SEVERAL times, left it on the charger the next night, the works.

I think it's a battery problem, but I just want to make sure if this is a sign of the phone being busted, or if it's savable.

all help is appreciated. thanks
