ipod went through washing machine

[anarchyfan]

I forgot to take my 4th generation nano out of my pants yesterday and when i realized what i had done i went and got it ASAP, my nano was clean but seemingly useless, next morning i plugged it into my comp for bout an hour and unplugged it. later that night i plugged it back into my comp and then unplugged it, i did this about 3 times and now its charging and syncing. Also i accidentally washed my other ipod nano (1st gen) but dried it too and that works fine!

Mine went through Washing Machine and Dryer, like... 4 days ago. Still nothing, i put it in rice and everything but the screen still doesnt work. When i hook it up with iTunes it says its syncing and everything but the screen is white.(plus it kinda.. melted? and now its hard to plug in) PLZ I NEED HELP! i might go crazy without music!

I ran my ipod through the washing machine about a week ago. I had tried turning it on, and it did nothing. I blow-dried it for about 10 minutes, then put it in kitty litter for a day. After that, I put it under a bright lamp for about 3 days. And lastly, I ran a few hand towels through the drier to warm them up, and wrapped my ipod in them. I did the towel thing about four times, just to be sure that my ipod was dry.

I plugged it into my computer, and everything showed up as normal. It works perfectly now.

I think the key is to not plug it into your computer, because that will short-circuit it. My friend ran her ipod through the wash 3 times, and every time, she used warm towels to dry it, and every time, it started working again.

*Sorry for the double post, but I meant to say that the key is to not plug it into your computer until you're SURE that it's COMPLETELY dry.

My ipod nano 3rd generation silver 4 gb went through the washing machine. I plugged it in and it started to work, but there is still water under the screen. Any ideas on how to get the water out?

I have washed my 2G nano and it went through the dryer and all. Its been in my shorts while swimming numerous times and after a day or two of drying it works good as new. Just give it time and let it dry while you lean it against something. They are preaty tough for their size:P

Ok so the iPod touch is pretty battered and already got a soaking but finding it in the washing machine made my face as white as a sheet. I can't even cry. Operation bring back to life without dad noticing commencing...

So, I use my 12 year old brother's iPod more than he does. I put it in the pocket of my jacket after getting off the school bus today, and totally forgot about it. It went through an entire cycle of our washer. I have no idea what to do. My stepdad is trying to fix it. No luck yet. He says he could've fixed it if I didn't try to turn it on. I've already apologized a thousand times to my brother. I owe him big time now. :(

I put mine in a bag of couscous, wrapped it in a laundry bag, and put it on the radiator for three days. I plugged it in just now. It works but the screen is water damaged. Everything works fine, though!

Actually the internet doesn't work. I can live with that.

My iPod nano went through the washing machine and dryer about a week and a half ago.
I let it rest on the radiator for the whole time and tried to turn it on and it works fine now.
my advice is to leave it for a while and it should be fine.

I did the same thing a week ago. I put mine in rice and just took it out today. It wouldnt turn on so i went to plug it into my compter, but it had gotten bashed and wouldnt plug in. i just bent it back and all was fine with plugging it in. I plugged it into my computer and the screen light up, but is still black. I can listen to music still, but i cant see a thing. Also sometimes it beeps. I dont know what t do! I dont think that i can get a new on e for a while and i cant stand not listening to my dear music! Anybody have any advice???
