Roland XP-30 just met the hardwood floor

My faux-synth was leaning against the wall and fell face flat on the hardwood floor. It isn't powering up! No rattles inside. Should I junk it or what could be the problem?

It could be a lot of things. My guess is that some internal connector, most likely near the power supply, popped loose. I would open up the case, push down and wiggle any thing that is in a socket, and also check the fuse to make sure that the force from the impact didn't break the wire insde, I've seen that happen before. Tell me if none of these suggestions work, I have a few other ideas, but I think the one's I mentioned are the most likely.
