3DS XL Advanced Black Screen of Death! (Stuck in sleep?) HELP

3DS fell out of my pocket while sitting down (not even 2ft) while it was in sleep mode with Animal Crossing New Leaf in it. Opened it later only to be gifted with some sort of black screen of death that only displays the sleep mode screen and freezes when I try to get to the home menu screen. Nothing works, I called nintendo and they won't fix it unless I pay a fee due to the fact that its physical damage, total bullshit. Things not even 2 weeks old. If you have any tips please comment.
