Is there any way to get touch screen working for unit that got wet?

i recently had my ipod touch fall in water for a few seconds, and since then my touch screen will light up dimly, but is unresponsive. the unit works for sync on my computer, as well as playing on my bose sound dock. only the touch screen seems affected

If the liquid damage has occurred recently you should try to dry it completely before attempting to use it. Have you tried putting the iPod Touch into a bag/bowl of uncooked white rice? That would help to pull all the remaining liquid out of the iPod.
If, after that the iPod's screen is still not responsive then it's something you may need to have repaired or replaced.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

Get a new phone, either by buying the latest model or getting an OOW replacement and you will receive one like the one you have now.

IPod Touch got wet, died. I need my notes...

My iPod Touch got wet and it's gone. I can get to the screen (albeit dim) that shows the slider to unlock it but the touchscreen is unresponsive. The computer won't recognize it.
My main problem is I have some very important notes that I need.
Does anyone know how to get the notes from the backup file "data.syncdb"?

This might help:

My IPOD touch got wet and now only shows a white screen. How to fix?

My IPOD touch got wet (it was not submerged in water, just rained on) and now only shows a white screen. How can I fix this? I already dried it in rice, and reinstalled it on ITUNES.

unless you have apple care which even that probably doesnt cover water damage. youre gonna need to buy a new screen. probably set you back $60 something. look up ipod touch 4g lcd screen in google and look for sites like amazon or something. unless you wanna have apple charge you like 100 bucks for it or probably more

My ipod touch got wet and is no longer working - i purchased a new ipod touch and want to know how i get my purchased apps onto my new ipod

my ipod touch got wet and now is broken - I purchased a new ipod touch and want to know how I get my purchased apps onto my new ipod touch

To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
To redownload iTunes purchases see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My Ipod mini got wet..is there any hopes for it? HELP PLEASE

My ipod got wet by mistake. Is there any way that it could survive? Or and i better of just getting a new ipod.
Also after is was wet( i didn't know) i plugges it into the charger and started 2 smell smoke. It didn't catch on fire but the bottom of both the charger and the ipod mini got somewhat burnt.
HELP!

In my opinion you made a big mistake by trying to turn on the iPod by plugging it into the charger without letting it dry out first. You should have left it somewhere warm and dry for at least 4 or 5 days to ensure it completely dried out before attempting to turn it on or plugging it into a charger.
To be honest, I think you need another one!

I have an old ipod that got put through the washer. I want to restore it but i already have a new ipod. How can i restore my old ipod without losing all of my new itunes songs?

I accidently put my old 2nd generation Ipod nano through the washer a few years ago. Well after that it would no longer work do to water damage. After a while i got a new Ipod (the same type) and was able to get new songs to put on it and what not. Well i was playing around with the one i washed opne day and found that i could still restore it on iTunes. However, it wont let me restore it without losing all of my music and what not that i got for the new one. I would like to continue to use the old one, but I am afraid of losing all of my current stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can restore the old and keep the new? I am in desperate need.

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.

HT4623 how to fix a iphone 4 that got wet and won't swipe to get in

I need help my iphone got wet. it still works but i can't swipe to get in. I can still recieve messages and stuff. I put it in rice for 2 days but i still have this problem. How should i fix this??

The damage has probably already been done since you powered it on after getting wet but... turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. It might work after that.

ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.

Help for ipod touch not recognized by itunes

I am posting this to try to help others who have N ipod touch and windows is showing as a digital camera and itunes does not recognize after updating to 8.2.1. I tried EVERYTHING (uninstalling itunes, reinstalling, downgrading itunes, removing pics out of storage folder,restoring ipod, searching google for drivers for ipod, trying to find the right driver using device manager, made sure apple mobile was on and working, checked device manager under universal serial bus controls and apple mobile device was not listed, tried plugging in nano n itunes recognized it immediately... I found that alot of ipod touch owners had the exact same problem when upgrading itunes, but could not find a solution that worked..after about a week of trying fixed the problem..
Download the newest version of itunes, dont install just download the itunessetup file, then go to google and search for and download 7-zip and after installing 7-zip right click on itunes setup file and click 7-zip extract, go to the extracted folder and double click on apple mobile device then repair it, restart comp (mine still wasnt working so i tried one more time) went back to extract folder and double clicked on apple mobile device and uninstalled and then reinstalled then went to device manager and looked under universal serials bus controls and to my suprise apple mobile device WAS FINALLY listed, plugged in ipod and opened itunes and there it was, my ipod

I tried what you said to do and it didn't work.

IPod touch got wet, can not restore with iTunes

I have a first generation 16 GB iPod touch that wicked up water over night from a glass surface. I didn't notice the water until morning when I picked up the iPod. I tried to turn it on but it was dead.
I dried it out using a desk lamp until moisture was no longer visible under the screen. I connected the computer and the dead battery/charging icon appeared.
Once the iPod received a few minutes of charge the display changed to 'Connect to I-tunes". I open iTunes and it displays that "an iPod in recovery mode has been detected" and to restore the device. I press restore and iTunes downloads and extracts the software, but either of the following errors occur...
1. I-tunes tries to communicate and say's 'waiting for iPod', at which time the iPod has the apple logo and the spinning circle. This continues until the iPod is disconnected, and then iTunes says "the iPod could not be restored, an unknown error has occurred (9)".
2. When iPod is in DFU mode and I open iTunes, It recognizes an iPod in recovery mode and sends commands to the iPod for recovery, iTunes then waits for the iPod and it's display stays black. When the iPod is disconnected iTunes says "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error has occurred (1601). When disconnected and reconnected the computed makes the usb device connected but iTunes doesn't see the device until iTunes is restarted.
3. I 'shift' click the restore after iTunes recognizes an iPod in recovery mode. I point iTunes to "iPod1,11.1.1_3A110arestore.jpsw" (which is the version it came with) and it almost immediately gives me an error, "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (20)".
Since I am getting prompts on the iPod, I am hopeful to start a restore somehow... Is this asking too much ? Is there another way to start a restore ? Or is this something that can be fixed by sending it in for repair ?
Thanks Kindly

If it was just plain water it may eventually work again. But..... you broke several rules for trying to save wet equipment: you should never use heat in an attempt to dry and you should never try to charge it or connect it to your computer.
Slow drying out may be accomplished but putting your touch in a jar with silica gel packs (if you can find them) or plain white rice (NOT 'minute rice'). Then wait!!! several days.
Or is this something that can be fixed by sending it in for repair ?
Your touch has built-in moisture indicators (one is the white patch at the end of the headphone jack). If your touch shows signs of moisture, you will not be covered by the Apple warranty.
Have a little patience and with luck it will work again.
