Default Need help diagnosing problem

I just got this helicopter for Christmas. I want to learn how to fly well so I can do some aerial photography. I've flow it a few times but had a crash on the last flight. It fell from about 100 ft after the battery died (I know, rookie mistake). Luckily if feel in some soft brush and appears perfectly fine. Charged the battery and tried to fly again and nothing happened. I took the cover off and again everthing was in place and the connections looked good. I know it is getting a signal from the transmitter. When I turn the transmitter on it keeps making a clicking noise about every five seconds. The manual says it checks the gyro when the transmitter is powered on and I think that is what the clicking noise is (it's more like a motor noise than a clicking noise). So my guess is that it's the gyro that is preventing it to start because it keeps trying to check itself but fails. Any ideas?

I have a Double Horse (Shaung Ma) 4-channel single propeller helicopter, model 9116.

Thanks for the help.
