The outter casing (body/outside hardware) has no scratches or dents except from previous drops which all had happened without the soft gel case.

YOu think N9 would survive this:

oh so you had the silicon case? i might have to rethink my decision "to case or not to case"

using newton's gravitational law to model a non constant acceleration? now thats diff eq i'd rather not lol

@lumiadude doesnt matter how high, it'll reach maximum speed in a few seconds

Regarding disamble of the N9; My two year old son managed to get hold of my phone when charging and of course he managed to break the flap covering the usb connector. I watched a youtube video how to disamble the N9 and this is the first thing he removes with a single snap when opened. I tried this but it was impossible to remove. I used tools to get a better grip but no luck. Anyone tried to remove this themselves?

I had no problem to put this off. just pull

Now my question is, seeing that it did blink, is there some sort of miracle to know for sure if it can still be a functional device?I be looking for to know if this phone can be salvaged or good to throw away at my local dump site.

It was saying good bye. Poor little robot, waited 10 minutes (when You wondered if You should even bother going down to pick it up), keeping itself alive, to blink twice, saying goodbye.

And now, You're wondering, if You should put it into trash dump. Cruel bastard.

Lmao, I honor your world, but sorry my good friend Estel, it's all just in the name of good humor. Would never give my N9 away after I bought it on 11/11/11 and Got it stolen and Got it recovered. And yes it was just like you said. A poor little poor wondering if my best friend is alive, seeing it blink twice, saying goodbye, waiting for its return to be alive again.
I have all the intention to bring my baby back to life... Long live the N9 and lumiaman go away with your shitnonsense !!

It must have fallen face down... on the glass first... And The I phone too... and the one thing that's common in both of em is the glass.

Disconnect the battery, reconnect it, then put it back together, and from a PC, run "flasher -i" and connect the USB cable.

If it responds, the main board's alive.
If it doesn't, it's dead, or you may want to investigate whether all the connectors are still where they're supposed to be. The N9 does not make a rattling sound when you shake it up.

try taking the screen off, and ensure the battery is connected properly. I once had the same thing when taking my n9's screen off, turns out the battery plug was slightly dislodged. Its somewhat secure, but after a fall from the 16th floor... probably became dislodged somewhat

I vote that if he resurrects it, he gives his phone the name of Jesus.

At least you'd have a great story of why. A friend of mine... his ex-girlfriend's insane parents were Jehova Witnesses and one day her mother had left her cell phone in my friend's car, and it said "Jehova" no the front.... I just shook my head.
