Dropped and now will not swipe

[Guest stevecross]

Morning guys. I dropped my phone yesterday and now the screen does not respond to any touch, the rocker on the side works but i cant swipe the screen, even in cwm the screen is not responsive. what options are open to me before i buy another phone. I have just noticed what appears to be a small square with lines coming off of it in the top left of the screen, looks like a chip?

Yes capacitive buttons, i have tried to bang it has suggested but still not working. Not very impressed really with this phone apart from the fact that the ringtone has never been very loud and now a small drop and it stops working. I think next time I will pay the extra and change brands. The san fransisco I had previous served me well, It just worked for well over a year without a problem.
