Not to rain on your parade, but SanDisk does not provide any repair or re-furbishing services , at any cost.
Slcjsansa , if your screen is toast, and you’re up to the challenge, the Fuze’s LCD screen’s connecting ribbon cable IS plugged in rather than soldered as in other models, but you’ll have to get it apart first and of course get a replacement screen.
These are not sold anywhere, so your only alternative is to pick up a DOA unit from someone on eBay. Of course, with a DOA unit, it’s hard to know why it’s DOA. I’d hate to see you buy one that also has a defective or broken LCD.
But, it may just be a case of the ribbon cable in yours being jostled loose from the fall. There are some disassembly instructions and pictures of the Fuze over at the ABI forums. You may want to take a look.
Otherwise, it seems as though you’ll be buying a new player.
