I left it on the charger all night while on by mistake. I realized it about thirty minutes ago, went to turn it off and unplug it, and dropped it.
Now it just won't turn on. I've removed the battery, removed the SD card, tried turning it on multiple times to no avail. It shows a blue power light for a little bit and shuts completely down.
I couldn't boot into Luma3DS or whatever it was again that boots when you hold start.

Any info on how I goofed it up? Advice on fixing it?
