Parrot Bebop 2 won't charge

Long story short: My stepmom flew my Bebop 2 into the side of her house and it came crashing down, upside down, from about fifteen feet up. After that, it didn't want to power on. Then we got it to power on, and it turned off mid flight, flipped over, and landed upside down in the grass. Since then I can get any power and the charger flashes red. I only have one battery so the quick change on the charger option is out. Whist anybody else have any suggestions?
 
Could this be it? Notice the bottom terminal in the pair that is second from the left. It looks like the copper was knocked off. Would that prevent electrical connectivity and, if so, can fix that by adding a bit of solder to it?

It seems overly complicated for something as simple as a battery connector.

I'd recommend tying a new battery and see if that does the trick.

Oh, update, I tried a new battery and it did the trick. ;)
I am going to see if this one can be fixed and have two because, well, you know. I'm going to have to get one of those "Nintendo" screwdrivers that looks like the Mercedes emblem, though. Dangit.
