dropped phone-will only show lightening bolt and gear on screen. Any suggestions?

Dropped and volume button was stuck so I turned it off. Won't turn back on. Only lightening bolt and gear come on screen.

Which phone model??? If it has a removable back try taking that off and unsticking the Volume button. That is going to continue causing issues.

You could try to reset the phone, but probably a qualified repair would be the best first step.
