Default Phone won't turn on period, charged, without battery, etc
I dropped my phone on accident and the back cover and battery came out. Well when I put them back in my phone will not come back on. I've tried hooking up to a charger that works to get it on, took the battery out and back in several times. I've tried every combonation of button holds on the phone I can think of and nothing will get it to turn on.

The bad thing now is it's unlocked, rooted and the leaked JB update on it, so I can't really send it in for replacement if there is something wrong with the hardware side of it.

uhm, assuming your from the states and are insured by asurion, you dont need to worry about sending in a rooted device.
they really dont care regardless of what they say. ive sent a number of rooted devices (faulty epic 4g touches) and they never complained or said anything.
plus, if you cant turn on the phone, how will they? theyd have to open it up and change parts and what not... by then, youll already have your new device :]

I called Verizon and they want me to take it into a store to see if it's got any water or physical damage to it. I don't know if that's a good idea just in case they do get it to come on. Then what, they'll see the lock icon on the bootup and know it's unlocked won't they?

If they get it to come on, tell them you want it back now lol, you don't really have any other option. But the nexus is a developer phone, root should be expected in my opinion, it's a simple Linux "system accessibility" tool.
