I dropped it in the sink...

I dropped my ipod nano in the sink about an hour ago. I promptly fished it out and dried it off, but not before it was completely submerged in water. For a while the screen showed a very dark image of the last song to be playing, then it switched to the "charged" screen. Now it's completely dark, and won't turn on.
Any suggestions?

Do NOT plug it in.
Do NOT try to turn it on.
Wrap it in a tissue and put it in a zip-lock bag with dry, white rice for a week. This will extract the moisture. Tissue simply keeps rice out of the holes in iPod.

  • Dropped iPhone in the sink..

    Unfortunately, the sink did have some water in it :/.
    My phone is still fully functional; however the speakers buzz a bit. When I bought the phone I purchased an insurance plan from Best Buy and was told that it would cover anything, as long as I didn't lose it or have it get stolen. I can't find any terms and conditions in the paperwork I received, nor do I know the name of the plan (although I'm sure it's one of Best Buy's programs).
    My question: Does this plan cover water damage like I was told by the rep (I assume 'everything' includes water)?
    Also, if I were to accidentally drop my phone and crack the glass and brought it in, could my request get denied for possible water damage?
    AND finally, does the insurance plan guarantee a new phone, or a refurb? The only reason I'm asking is because it's only been a month after release so there can't be many refurbs in existance... right?
    Thanks!
    -Jason

    As long as it wasn't fully submersed, you should be alright, and assuming you have the "ADH" coverage option on your Black Tie plan.
    But, I'm not entirely sure on the refurb/service aspect, someone else will have to chime in on that.

    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
    Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Dropped iPhone in the sink, now it won't turn on

    Okay this is what happened:
    I dropped my iPhone in the sink. I dried it off but the speaker wasn't working (which is normal when you get water inside). So I used a hair dryer on the phone for a couple minutes and the speaker began to work perfectly again. However after a few hours the phone turned off by itself and would not turn back on - charging it was useless and resetting it didn't have any effect. So I began to use the hair dryer method again and it turned back on eventually.
            From then on the phone worked perfect except after a few minutes of usage, it would get colourful horizontal lines going along the screen and becoming useless to the point where I have to reboot it. This happened about three times before it would stop turning back on. Charging it does nothing, Itunes does not detect it and resetting it doesn't work either.
              I don't know what I should do, help would be grately appreciated. Also if somebody can please tell me what the problem actually is. Is this happening because of the water, because the battery is dead or because the lcd is failing? I really don't know but from the outside there's no scratches or marks on the phone. Thank-you in advance.

    I'd suspect this is where you completely fried it.  It sounds possible that had you left it off and let it dry out for a week or more, it just might have survived.  But by repeatedly energizing it with the moisture present inside, you shorted it out completely.  Water + electricity usually equals massive overloads from shorting, which in turn causes destructive overheating of components.  Did you notice any ozone odor coming off it at that point?
    It's toast now, sorry to say.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4 in the sink where it was submerged in water for not even 2 seconds I took it out and put it in a warm room by the radiator and most of it works but no sound and battery length is short and runs out quickly. Any ideals on how to help?

  • HT4199 I dropped my ipodtouch to the sink. Now i can not search the Wifi. please help me ;((

    I dropped my Ipod touch to the sink. Now everythings is working now but WIFI. Please help me to fix it. Thank you very much.

    Is this the problem:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If so then usually an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Other wise prose provide more information:
    - Does the iPod see the network?
    - Have you tried other networks?
    - Error message?

  • I need to open up the same web site in two separate tabs. Since I upgraded to Firefox 6 when I try to open the web page in a new tab from the list in the drop down in the address window it only gives be the option to switch to the tab already have open.

    When I go the drop down from the address window, rather than showing the URL of the website I want open in a second tab it says "Switch to tab." But I don't want to switch to the tab - I want to open a second tab on the same URL. If I want to open it a second time I have to manually key in the address. Is there some way to turn this off so I can open up the second tab using the same address from the drop down? I have always been able to do this with previous versions of Firefox.

  • How can I restore my bookmarks, and the Firefox drop-down in the top left?

    I cannot use Firefox as I always used to.
    It has lost all of my Bookmarks Bar, so I cannot go to, for example, my email link.
    It goes straight to a full screen display of my (Google) homepage and won't let me see the old Firefox drop-down in the top left corner.
    How can I get any Firefox help?
    I can just about survive using Internet Explorer - is that what Mozilla want?
    oh, it's back now. what happened?

    Hello,
    you can easily move the Bookmark icon to left using the Customize feature from the Menu [[Image:New Fx menu]] button on the Right top corner.

  • How to use the drop event of the tree control in LabVIEW 8.20?

    Hi,
                I am using the two tree controls in my application to provide a option for the user to drag and drop item from one tree to the other.  I have to validate the user selection. I tried to capture the user drop event  using the event structure. The problem I am facing is, I am not able to drop the item even though i have wired a constant true to the filter(Accepted?) in the event case. I have enable the property(Allow droping) in the right menu of the tree control also.
              While configuring an event case for (drop, drag entered and some thing like this) only I am getting the problem otherwise it is working fine.  
    What do i need to do to caprture the drop event ?
    Is there any way to avoid the item duplication while droping a new item in the tree control ?
    or how can i do this?
    Thanks,
    Pandiarajan R

    Hi Pandiarajan,
    I hope you are doing well today! There is a lengthy discussion on the Tree Control Drag & Drop feature at this forums post including contributions from the developer of the Drag & Drop feature:
    Tree Control Drag & Drop in LabVIEW 8
    By avoiding item duplication, do you mean that you don't want the same item to be in the old tree control or do you not want more than one item in the new tree control?

  • How do I add a drop shadow to the page in Muse?

    How can I apply a drop shadow to the page template in Muse? If I place a rectangle it will not change shape according to the page size. Is this a feature?

    Hello,
    You're most possibly referring to "Favicons", and they can be added in a Muse site from the "File -> Site Properties -> Layout" section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-05_2332.png
    Hope this helps.

  • I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

    After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.

  • I have had my iPhone 4s for a few months and the battery life was really good. Then around the same time I updated to ISO6 and I dropped it on the floor and since the battery life has been poor lasting only a few hours. Does anyone know why this is?

    I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.

    Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
    Apple to be checked.

  • I would like to be able to take a website that I use ofter and drop it on the firefox screen below the url. Then I will have a quick access. How do I do this?

    Question
    I would like to be able to take a website that I use ofter and drop it on the firefox screen below the url. Then I will have a quick access. How do I do this? I currently use this on my laptop, but recently bought a new computer and downloaded firefox and lost a lot of features that I enjoyed.

    Hi Ruthannw,
    I think you are talking about the [[Bookmarks Toolbar]]. That article will show you how to add sites to the toolbar and even how to display the toolbar if it is hidden in your new Firefox install.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and matched the other clips but when I drop it in the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself

    has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and fine and it matches the other clips in my bins but when I drop it into the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself and I can only see a small portion of the image.  What's going on?  I've noticed this has happened in the past randomly with other clips and it's driving me cray cray!  Any help appreciated greatly and thanks in advance for taking the time

    In the FCP Browser, click on the source clip that is showing up sized incorrectly to select it. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
    Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the sequence settings and post that screen shot here.
