Q: 1st generation ipod hold button is stuck
I have a 1st generation ipod nano. The holi button is stuck on hold and I can't use the controls on the ipod. I have a dock that I use it on but don't have a charger for it so I don't know if I can access on the computer.
iPod nano, iOS 9

The Hold switch may have become faulty. See if you can do this procedure to Reset (restart) iPod (data is not erased)
Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support (see section iPod with a click wheel)
If that does not help, you'll need a USB docking cable to connect it to the computer, to access it with iTunes and try a Restore.
NOTE: If this iPod nano is really the 1st gen model, it may qualify for this
