OP, if the outer case broke, there is a very real possibility the circuit board inside the thumb drive was damaged. If you have a USB extension cable (male on one end female on the other) you could try plugging in the cable to the computer, then plugging in the USB to see if that works. Also, if you have another computer or another USB port on your computer try that, the fall could have damages the laptop USB port. Good luck.
