G'day David
take it to your local camera shop & ask them to examine it > and -if- it is repairable, sent the bill to whomever dropped it Regards, Phil

If it still takes pictures, then the mirror moves when it's supposed to.
One of the vulnerabilities of Sony dSLRs and SLTs is the sensor shift image stabilization system. When you first turn the camera on, it shakes the image sensor to see if the stabilization system is working. If it makes a nasty noise, it's possible that the camera is trying to shake the sensor but can't, or it's shaking it uncontrolably. If that's what's wrong, that's usually about a $300 fix. Check to see if the image stabilization system is working. Try taking a photo using a long focal length and a slow shutter speed (stopping down the lens to get a proper exposure) and see if you get motion blur due to camera shake. If you do, get in touch with your local camera dealer or Sony Technical Support.
