IPod screen is static after it fell into water

all of my problems started after the ipod touch fell in the water. First it would let me connect to any wifi at all but i got it fixed. now the screen is all gray (turns blue after a while). the ipod works only the screen doesnt. i can unlock the ipod and play music and games(suks with out visuals), but cant see where the **** i am! plz help!

I guess the first thing you should do if your ipod fell into water is shutting it off. Otherwise water and electricity can damage the electric parts even more. So in your case it could have been a slow process with the result of a damaged screen.
If the drying does not work anymore, you'll have to get it serviced, see the pricing here: Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ

  • How to I fix a phone that fell into water?

    My phone fell into water is there any hope of saving it?? Suggestions are also welcome.

    You can try placing the phone in a ziplock bag filled with rice for two to three days. The rice absorbs the water. But if the water has damaged the iPhone then Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Ipod screen goes blank after ios 5 update

    I've been having this issue since the ios 5 update, but it seems that sometimes when I use my ipod on my ipad I hit either playlist, artist, or ect and my screen goes all black. A temp fix is powering the ipad off and on agian. I thought that with the release of the update to ios5 would fix it, but I'm still having the issue.

  • Nokia 5130 fell into water

    Heya...
    My phone fell into a pool of water and stopped woring for sometime. I blow dried it n left it for a few days. It started working n continued to do so for a few days.. All of a sudden it switched off. When i removed the battery and tried to turn it on again it reaches the Date and time settings screen and becomes non responsive!!! What do i do?!?!?

    Not a lot I'm afraid. Any phone with water damage is usually on borrowed time as the insides of the phone slowly corrode. Even if you somehow get it going again, it will probably just be a matter of time before something else goes again.

  • Can apple replace my iphone if it fell into water

    can apple replace my iphone if it fell into water

    Certainly. But you have to pay. It's called an "out of warranty replacement".

  • My Ipod touch recently fell into water, but once dried, it worked with seemingly little to no problems. Today, after working for at least an hour, the screen froze and is now not working, but the sounds are still functioning.

    I accidentally dropped my Ipod into the lake, at the beach yesterday, but i caught it early and it wasn't too soaked... i wiped it off for the most part, and most of the buttons and the screen worked fine! i was shocked, and there were a few glitches with the camera and the slide button on the lock screen, but otherwise it was greatly intact! so i gave it a rest, put it in my purse, and picked it up fifteen minutes later, and it was working 100% normally again! when i got home a few hours later, i put it in rice for a few hours, taking it out every once and a while to check my notifications... it still seemed to be working perfectly, so i just set it down out of the rice, assuming the moisture was gone. this morning, again, everything was working normally, no glitches, UNTIL, i opened my instagram app, and the screen froze, and it seemed like it had two separate screens, and i held the Sleep button down until the screen went black... then i tried turning it back on, etc. and it still didn't work, and so i plugged it into the computer, holding down the sleep and home buttons, and itunes identified it as in recovery mode, and started updating. i tried again to press the sleep and home butttons, maybe pressing only the home button, because I heard the Siri noise, as well as the charging sound, but the screen was still black.... i checked my iTunes, and lo and behold, it had identified my iPod, and synced it to the computer, as if it were normally functioning. However, the screen is still not working, and Siri is not working either. The sounds may be the only thing that's functioning. Should i send it in?

    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G, $99 for the other 4Gs, $99 for the 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

    Sometime it takes a little while for the water to damage the iPod.

  • Ipod screen gone white after using 2006 updater!

    hi...my 5th generation video ipod has just had an update and the screen froze after i removed it... the screen then instead of resulting in the apple logo turned white and it is stuck like that. When i try again to restart it only turns black for a while makes a few beep noises and then the screen turns white again .... HELP!

    Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod.
    If the reset previously mentioned doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode, and use the updater to restore the iPod.
    With your iPod not connected to the computer, reset it for about 5 seconds.
    Then press and hold the select and the play/pause buttons for another 5 seconds or so. Then it should be in disk mode.
    Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure).
    That should cure the issue.
    If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

  • Ipod Screen Stays White After Update

    After I updated to 4.2, I turned on my iPod. It seemed to start up like normal, with the little apple logo, but then it went right to sleep. Now, every time I push a button, it only shows a white screen for 5 seconds and then goes back to sleep mode. It somehow is still fully recognized by my mac, though.
    Any suggestions?

    I would download the firmware and install it manually (by holding your Option key down in iTunes when clicking on Restore) and select the downloaded file.

  • IPod screen went away after updating to 1.3

    wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year of 2009!
    i have an ipod 5th gen 30gb (model number a1136), which i use very sparingly. i have had it since 2005. today i connected it to my computer which has itunes 8. itunes asked me to update the software on the ipod to version 1.3. i do not remember very well, i just have a hunch that my ipod originally had 1.2.1 version.
    as soon as the update was done, itunes gave me a message that the ipod will restart. after that, my ipod went for a toss. i see some coloured stripes, mostly white screen. itunes recognises the ipod, and i can even hear the clicking when i use the click wheel. the screen brightness goes high and low as it would when it used to work.
    please help me fix this issue. thanking in anticipation...
    regards.

    chris,
    restore did not work. i followed the 5 R's. the display remained white, with vertical coloured lines.
    regards.

  • Ipod Screen is black after getting "damp" in my sports bra on a run. .

    Went for a run...forgot my arm band so I put my iPod just inside my sports bra. My iPod quit working 1/2 way through my run! When I came home, it was DEAD! My computer wouldn't recognize it. So, I put it in a bowl of rice. The next morning, it had to restore and it could recognize it...but now there is no backlight! Is there any hope?

    Should have let it sit in the rice for at least 48-72 hours. 
     If you cannot find a solution on the DIY iPod Repair website, take it in to your local Apple Store or AASP.  If you are no longer under warranty and/or have AppleCare, it may be cheaper to purchase another iPod Nano. 
     Good luck! 

  • Iphone 4s Charger fell into water

    Hello all. As the tittle says, i had an iphone 4s charget next to my aquarium. Suddenly from a bad move, charger landed into the aquarium and pulled it out after 2 or 3 secs intantly. I left it 2 days to dry w/o use and decided to risk it by plug my iphone for charge. Seems to charge without problems. What you suggest me? Buy a new one, or stay with the old one that seems to work?

    I would stick with it
    maybe put it in a bowl of rice on the radiator or a heated flood to make sure it dry all the way out
    not too many sensitive components in the charger maybe some of the capacitators can get water damage and maybe the transformer can rust
    but even then it would not be likely to damage the phone
