No sound after a drained battery

Hello,

About 3 days ago I found my Ipod completely dead of battery. I don't know exactly how this happened but I assumed that my music must have been left playing until it completely lost all power. Ever since then my ipod has no sound. It is only a dull static. I try to play songs and they won't play they are just stuck and video won't work either. I have tried all the reset and restore and all the "r's" without luck. Also my battery life seem to be dramatically shorter since this incident. Any ideas???

Thanks
