iPod Nano Screen is messed up

Last weekend my iPod nano was sitting on the foot of my bed in a hard plastic case and it slid off onto the floor. It had been working perfectly before but when I picked it up and turned it on instead of the normal screen coming up what looks like a black and orange fern appeard on the screen.

When I pressed the select and play/pause button to reset it it started beeping at me and I couldn't make it stop for a while. I plugged it into my wall charger and nothing happend. When I got home I plugged it into my computer and iTunes didn't recognize it. While it was plugged in the screen flashed on and off showing that same scrambled image, each time it flashed off it would make a strange buzzing noise.

Is there any way to fix this? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Ok, I've tried just about everything plugging it in, trying to reset it and now it wont even light up when I press buttons. The only time the screen lights up at all is when its plugged in and then it flashes and makes an odd buzzing noise. I don't know what to do.

I'd rather not buy a new iPod I like the first generations a heck of a lot better than the second gens but I don't know what else to do.

You can replace the screen. Check places like http://www.ipodmods.com or http://www.iresq.com or Google for more. They can either fix it for you or send you the parts to you can do it yourself.
