cause = fell down stairs?

does it charge?
first remove the battery from the car and then put it back in. check all the wires.

It sounds like one of the wires from the battery to the pcb is not connected... if it's totally dead, then power ain't gettin' to the pcb. I would re-solder all of the connections between the battery and pcb for starters. If that doesn't work, set it on fire and take pictures.

Well Hog, you asked for it! That's funny! You can say shit in Da Hood Pimp!
So you get no steering, forward or reverse. At the bottom of the basement steps, did anything come loose? (body, PCB cover, heat sink, etc) As Hog asked earlier, does it charge?
A fall down the steps shouldn't break any internal wires but anything's possible. (unless you're talkin cement steps)

Stalker,
"Does the battery Charge"? (charge light come on)
So on the controller, it steers left & right, runs forward & reverse ?
And you didn't find any loose or broken wires? Make sure the batt makes a good connection to the terminals. (tighten terms)
