Tyler93 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Alright so pretty much I'm an idiot, My iPod must have been in my pants cause I just went to put my clothes in the dryer and my iPod fell out. It's an iPod touch and I'm 90% sure it was completely dead before it went in, Is there anything I can do or am I screwed?

essiw Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Not sure what you mean by "dead" but the only thing you can do is to be sure you let it completely dry before turning it on again. Because IF it still works and it is wet inside it could give short circuit (sp?). http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

Bows Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Put it in a bag of rice and close the bag. Let it sit for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Put it in a bag of rice and close the bag. Let it sit for a few days.To expand on this - the rice is a very effective way to draw out all the moisture.

Mercifull Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Rice bag as above then in the airing cupboard for a few days. But if its been in the washer on a hot wash with soap and everything then there is a very good chance its dead. Claim it off the house contents insurance.

Lord Diddy Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Keep in a rice bag (it has some good reasoning because it absorbs water) and let it sit for at least a few days. Make sure to flip the ipod on different sides to allow all the moisture to be absored through. Don't try to be impatient and use a hair dryer to dry it (contrary to popular belief it doesn't work and its actually harmful) or try to turn it on after a few hours, if anything is wet inside and you run electricity through it , then all your hopes of reviving your Ipod will be gone. Leave it alone for a couple of days in a Zip-Lock bag, and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakaan Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 My friend accidentally put his iPod touch through the wash once, it turned out completely fine on its own except the camera on the outside didn't work (which he wasn't too concerned about). As long as you get it dry you'll be good. Come support my max total goal here. Briobe122's 10-step guide to staking:1. Get cleaned2. Vow to never stake ever again! (very important)3. welfare tds and get claws4. kill glacors til i get boots5. bandos ffa or more tds til i have around 50m6. realize that it is far too hard to rebuild using steps 3, 4, and 57. give up the vow to never stake again8. go back staking and make your bank back9. if you failed at step #8, Go back to step #110. if you succeed at step #8, you will eventually feel the need to make money for rich people stuff, have a bad day of staking, then get cleaned anywaysPain is just weakness leaving the body.
