QUOTE(Days Nearly Over @ Aug 16 2005, 1:08 PM) I'm sorry .... but I find this quite amusing. I'd like see that happen to everyone here who owns an iPod or an iPod mini. (Around my area of course. ;x)  Thanks.....

don't say that it got in your laundry because they wont accept it. Wait a couple of days for it to dry inside and return it. Say that it doesn't work anymore. lol!

QUOTE(OmG_iTz_KiMi @ Aug 16 2005, 1:11 PM) Wow, aren't you irresponsible.  (no offense).As everyone said, try to stop the washer NOW, and get it out, and then look for your warranty(if you have one). It already went through the washer, I found it when I opened the door. |

This happened to me, cept not in a washer, it was raining and it dropped:
First, your warranty receipt is not needed, the Apple worker can tell by the serial number on the back of your iPOD. 2nd, if it went through the washer completely, it is infrequent that you can save it, as the battery is connected to the ipod internally and you it still gives a charge. The water had a prolong connection and I say probably killed it. What I did was let it dry for a few weeks and bring it back to the apple store, say it suddenly stopped working. Unethical, but it is not of great cost to Apple, as they will recycle your iPOD later anyways. You will get a refurbished iPOD, and they will refurbish your iPOD wen you trade it in. Why i let it dry is because I heard there's a water marker inside the iPOD to prove that it's gone into water. I dunno, they never checked mine, the apple worker was nice and gave me a new one. So I told them mine died suddenly one day, and the gave me a new one. kk. Heart wrenching experience nonetheless. |

LMAO, I remeber I do that ALL the time...not with something as exspensive as an ipod, I did it with my gameboy advanced though...and my gameboy color.
QUOTE(boobooxpp @ Aug 16 2005, 2:57 PM) sell it to someone for -5 less and buy a new one xP I did that to my gameboy color...it was great, the person came back and was like "WTF!" and I was like, "Dude, you BROKE IT?? Sorry man, no refunds." and shut the door. DaTru KataLYST also has good advice. |

you know, usually i'd say open it up, disconenct the battery, and gently pat off as much water as you can, then air dry.
but it's an ipod and you can't open it so you're pretty much screwed. |

Yeah, if it's still under warranty, Apple will pretty much replace anything, even if it was clearly the user's fault that the damage happened.

QUOTE(xXCheshire_CatXx @ Aug 16 2005, 3:37 PM) Is there any way I can save it?? Or do you know how to open it up and could tell me?? Do not open it up. Some kid in Australia tried it and pierced the battery. The battery reacted violently and exploded on him and he had to be taken to the hospital. |
