Manufacturing guarantee wont cover accidental damage.

And you dont have home insurance (which would have had an excess anyhow) so I think your stuffed

Problem is with compact cameras is that there are so few places to take them when they break or get damaged. There are lots of places that fix DSLRs etc but thats because most DSLRs work in a similar way.

Sorry to hear about the damage, I'd maybe give the manufacturer a ring and ask how much it would cost to fix/replace damaged parts. Likelyhood is that you might be better off buying a new one if you can afford it - a lot of people on here own compacts and will hopefully be able to recommend a good new one, hopefully that works with the printer.
