Unable to hard reset Lumia 525 AT ALL

Just a bit of a bio on my phone:
I dropped it once and it hit the ground at the top left corner and the entire screen cracked. It was so screwed, even after repairs it would switch off when i remove the battery cover, put it in my pocket, and sometimes when tapping the corner with something rigid.

The other day, while using my phone normally, it suddenly switched off, and after booting, it showed THE DREADED sad smiley face/sad face. I went through everything on the internet. I downloaded LSRT, NSU for Retail, and Windows Phone Recovery Tool, used the alternate options for phone restore (i.e. My phone wont start up or respond/My phone was not detected), but, nothing.

I have no clue what to do. I've used LSRT one time before, to downgrade back to 8.0 when I was testing out WP8.1 DP, and this is the second. Please help
