I dropped my iphone 5, in it's case, not too far from the floor. it was like 40% charged, but now it won't turn back on. the charging screen comes up, then the apple logo comes up, but then it goes back to black. it was charged when it happened though.
does anyone have any clue as to what's going on? i don't want to lose my pictures and notes, but i also really don't want to have to take it in. I

Speculation:
The battery might have disconected itself...
or hasbeen damged; you could try to charge it
i have a samsung galaxy s6; it fell down and wouldnt turn on again; my friend told me to charge it and surprisingly it turned on!
regardless of the outcome:
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
IF A FILE DOES NOT EXIST IN AT LEAST THREE PLACES IT DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL

Also you might be able to create an itunes backup on a pc/mac

OP again. I should add that this is only when the iphone is plugged in. when it's not it's completely black.

>my friend told me to charge it and surprisingly it turned on

Unless you were an idiot and deliberately disabled it, you already have a backup of all your pictures and notes. Go to the iCloud website and log in with the same id you use to buy stuff off the app store. You'll be able to see how you're using your storage, which will tell you if your phone is backed up, and hopefully also when.
Don't bother restoring your phone or anything, this is clearly hardware. Apple will restore it if they repair it, because they flash a diagnostic OS on that tells them what's wrong. Third parties can't and won't; they'll just poke stuff til it's fixed. Probably best to take your phone to a generic phone repair shop, and tell them you dropped it.

That's not a problem on iOS: it backs itself up to iCloud every single night, unless you're an imbecile and turn it off because muh botnet.
