First lubricate the screw top with WD40 and then fill it up with no more than 8 oz of water. you should be able to find a manual online.
Steam comes out the handle
You need to disassemble the wand and apply thread sealant tape to all joints. This should solve the problem.

The fall might have damaged or moved the trigger so that it does not depress the valve on boiler.
Try removing the screws which hold the handle together. The cap needs to be removed to allow the handle to separate.
Once the handle is apart check the trigger piece looking for any broken parts.

Shark professional model 505.
It sounds like the themostat inside the unit is broken. The only solution to fix the unit is to send it to the manufacturer for repair.
I'm unsure of the cost for the repair but it might be cheaper if the unit is older to throw it away and buy a new steamer.
Trigger not working correctly
You might need to de-scale the unit to free the stuck valve.
Keep the unit unplugged.
Fill the unit with a vingar and water (filtered or distilled is best).
Screw the cap back on and place the unit in a sink upside down to allow the vingar and water to reach the valve.
After a few minutes press down the trigger several time to work the solution into the valve.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem of getting the cap off. I ended up popping the black cap off and then used wd40 on the metal screw that was still attached. I then took a pair of pliers and turned and it came right off.
