hrg, try to reset your ipod. Press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously for at least ten seconds, then the LCD display will clear and the Apple logo appears. If that does not work, you may have bigger issues after the drop. I would disassemble it and check for disconnecting cables, cracked logic board, damaged button. Follow the instructions on here to determine any damage.[guide|1127] Good Luck and let us know how it is going.
