Correct. I wasn't sure if there was some sort of reset to get the camera to communicate with it. I am used to taking apart and repairing phones, but cameras are a pretty new realm to me.
Exactly. Professional photographers have jobs because they are better at what they do than the average camera owner is. The same is true of service technicians. You have not had experience making the repair you attempted, and you probably overlooked something or misconstrued how a particular connection should be made. There's no shame in that; if you'd had the requisite training, you'd probably have done everything right. Or you would know how to test the part to see if there really is something wrong with it. But beyond that, your camera suffered serious damage in the fall. As others have pointed out, other things could be broken or misaligned that wouldn't be obvious. Neither you nor any of us would be able to check the camera out and make sure everything was working right. That's what the Canon service centers are for. They usually aren't cheap, but they do a very professional job. If they say your camera is fixed, it almost certainly is.
