Man....this day sucks. Im at school right now where about ten minutes ago i went to take a leak and my ipod feel right outta my hoodie and landed in the toilet. Thank god i didnt get to pissin before this happened. Shit wont turn on or anything. I heard if you pop the cover off, let it dry, it might be able to be revied. Man i hope i can fix this thing though cause i got mad heat on there and it would take me forever to replace the songs.

    Hey man

    This may shine some light on your situation:

    a few weeks ago my girlfriend ran my Ipod through the WASHING MACHINE for a FULL 40 MINUTE CYCLE! we're talkin soap, suds, frothy business goin on and everything.

    anyhow, I got it back and it obviously did not turn on. I opened it up with a flathead screwdriver (be careful doing this, but it isn't very hard). Then I got a tupperware and filled it with uncooked rice and put the ipod in the middle of everything, made sure to get the rice around the parts. The rice actually takes the moisture out of whatever it touches so it works quite well for this type of thing. I put the open tupperware under a light (about 8 inches away) for 24 hrs.

    I took the Ipod out, shook all the rice away (I had to use a paperclip to get some pieces that were more stubborn) , and I snapped it back together. Plugged that shit into my computer and not only did it turn on but it had full battery and all of my songs were intact!


    I think you'll be ok.



    good luck.

    well lots of real rare 90s hip hop that i got from people, encoded, mad old rare records that i had friends encode for me. Records i recorded just for it. Just lots and lots of shit that would be hard to replace. My big 160 gig hd, with all the backups took a shit on me a few weeks ago, so i lost like 65 days worth of music on there. that is getting fixed though. I just setup the rice bowl though so ill let yall know the deal.

    This may be common sense, but don't plug that shit in until it's completely dried out or all hope is lost.

    I dropped my Nextel phone in the toilet earlier this year. It went through many stages of drying out but after about 24 hours shit was working like normal. Although charges don't last as long on it as they used to. That little sucker is a beast though.

    Best of luck man.
