Error 99 in Canon EOS 350 D

I am desperate; I am at Normandy (France) to see the D-Day sites...something I've waited to do for 40 years. Accidentally, my Canon 350D fell on the ground; I picked it up and it worked fine as I took dozens of picture in Paris...but now that I'm here, absolutely nothing will turn on, even though it downloaded picture to my laptop just this morning. Please help; what can I do?

FYI, after the accident, the Error 99 message came on...but then went away; is there a link here?

error 99

The aperture diaphragm of the Kit-Lens may be "damaged" by unkown reason(s), such that it cannot stop down. Prove it when you try the depth-of-field button several times, the stopping-down action may fail sometime.

Therefore, I have to bought another second-handed one to solve this problem!

1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove the lens, battery, and CF card.
3. Allow the camera to sit without power for approximately 20 minutes.
4. Insert a fully charged battery, and turn on the camera.
5. Depress the shutter button as you would to take a picture.
Does the “ERR 99′ message appear? If it does, then the camera should be
serviced. If it does not, then please proceed to the next set of steps:
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Insert the CF card.
3. Turn on the camera.
4. Format the CF card in the camera.
5. Depress the shutter button as you would to take a picture.
Does the “ERR 99′ message appear? If so, then the CF card is the most
likely source of the issue. Try using a different card.
If the message does not appear, please complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Clean the lens contacts by gently rubbing them with a pencil eraser
or soft cloth. Be careful that you do not let any debris fall into the
camera body.
3. Reattach your lens.
4. Turn on the camera.
5. Depress the shutter button as you would to take a picture.
If the “ERR 99′ message only appears when one particular lens is
attached, then that lens should be examined by a service technician.
If you see the “ERR 99′ with a different Canon lens attached, then the
camera should be serviced.

the flash cant pop up.  assist it with your fingernail.   when you push the flash it clicks right??  if it cant pop after 3 tries itll give an error.

In my case, when using an old EF 35-80 lens, using manual focus completely cured the problem. Therefore my deduction is that The EOS350D has not sufficient power to drive the focusing motor of a lens where the friction has increased a bit, whatever the reason (dirt, dried grease in lens mechanism, wear, etc... 

Solution #6 is what exactly Canon emailed me few minutes ago and is not the solution, in my case.. I still get err 99.Maybe a different memory brand. Never buy Canon. The "International Warranty" is not really international....just for the USA and maybe Canada.
