I've got the same problem with my 400D although mine hasn't been
dropped. Like you I've tried to clean the focusing screen and mirror but
to no avail. I came to the conclusion that I could end up doing more
harm than good so I've given up. It doesn't affect my photos.
I may get it sorted professionally sometime in the future but as one
poster on the POTN Canon forum said:- "Dust gives the viewfinder
character and lets you know you've actually been taking pictures".
