How Can i fix my Ipod touch from water damage?

So awhile ago i dropped my ipod touch 8GB into a toilet  (water was clean). I got a new one a week later after trying things to fix my Ipod touch. But now i wanna see if ill turn on again since last few months. I have tried to press buttons in a certain way to turn in on but still nothing.I tried plugging it into my computer but still nothing.So i wanna see if anyone has a few things that may help me. Also if after you dropped you ipod touch into a toilet and grabbed it out n dried it off with something and started pressing buttons is it certainly not going to work again?
~ Thanks

No. When you drop an electronic device, DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON. If it is on, power it off immediately. Just because the outside is dry doesn't mean the inside is. Once you turn it on while still wet, it will short circuit, and you will probably never see it on again. What you should do is power it off immediately, then get a bowl of rice or silicon packs, and put it in there for two nights. This is the best way, as the rice/silicon packs soak up all the water. After two days, you can power it on, and it most likely will work. Be patient. After one day it will look dry enough, but looks are deceiving. Sorry to tell you, but there is nothing you can do to resurrect it.

    How can I fix my iPod touch. It will allow me to go on the Internet while it's plugged in but when I take it off the charger and go on the Internet the iPod will shut off. I have tried to reboot the iPod but it still does it.

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will normally exchange your iPhone for their standard out-of-warranty exchange price. If you want to try and fix it yourself, you can look here:

    You can also search the web for "ipod repair" to find shops that can attempt to fix it.

  • How can I separate my iPod touch from my new iPhone account?

    I recently purchased an iPhone and my daughter has an iPod touch...all on the same account. How can I separate the two? I can message her but its like I'm sending it to myself and I end up getting it twice. They are synced together. I can se what she does and vice versa. Need help!

    Have her get her own unique AppleID to use just for iCloud and iMessage.  You can use a shared AppleID for family purchased content in the iTunes and app store.
    Once she has her own AppleID, delete the iCloud account on the iPod touch and create a new one for her with her own AppleID.  For iMessage, just select the existing AppleID in settings, log out, then log back in with her new AppleID.
    Then you will each have your own separate iCloud and iMessage accounts.

  • How can I update my ipod touch from 5.0.1 software to 5.1 ?!

    If u know just tell me abut it because i can not open safari,apps,etc...
    i want the new software because i want siri.

    Siri is not part of iOS 5.1 for the iPod touch, so if that's your only reason for upgrading, you'd be wasting your time. Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S.
    If you want to upgrade, though, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    or if you have WiFi from your iPod go to the Software Update section of the General settings .

  • How can i fix my iPod Touch 4g speaker?

    My iPod Touch speaker keeps shorting out... It will work for a couple minutes and then shut off... Is there anywhere I can get it fixed within two weeks...? Note: I have a three year warranty. Also, my iPod's Lock Button has stuck. I have taken exceptionally good csre of my iPod, so i dont understand why it has broken...

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    You must have a third-party warranty since the Apple extended warranty is only for two years total. So if not covered by the Apple warranty contact that warranty provider
