We need to know what laser it is. If it is a green laser you could have broken off the crystals. You need to open the laser anyway to look at the problem.
this is what i have 5mW 532nm Open-back Kaleidoscopic Green Laser Pointer Pen

Could a lot of things...
Is there any light at all? Even 808nm IR is visible as a very dim red... Don't burn your eyes. That would be the case if a crystal got knocked out. If you shifted the unit or something when you dropped it the button should feel weird, there may be contact issues with the spring, etc. If it is possible to take the kaleidoscope off the front of the laser it might help. Also, pics would help
EDIT: Never shine any laser into your eye, even if it's IR. IR will still kill your eyes. Point it at a wall or something.

Hmm then yeah could be that you knocked off the KTP crystal. It could also be some other optics you knocked out of place, but I'm going to say you're going to need to take it apart. See your other thread
