I dropped my ipod in water and now the screen wont respond to my touch, would resetting it make it work again?

I can still see everything and it's charging but I read somewhere that if I reset it that it would work again but I'm not sure if that is true and I don't know how to reset it

That happened to my mom's phone. but she dropped it in tea:( If I were you, the best bet would be to put it in a bowl of rice, so that it is covered, and leave it there for a few days. The rice will hopefully soak up all of the water that's in your iPod. Hope this helps!

I dropped my ipod 2nd Generation, and now the screen turned white there're many cracks in the screen. But im pretty sure the touchscreen still works. Is there any way my screen can work again? so that it isn't white? pls help

Please help

I'm in no way an iPod technician - but I have the same model as you. If you have cracks in the screen, I'm pretty sure you need to get the screen replaced. You can see what's involved by looking here:

Unless you're already an electronic technician, you'd be better off having it repaired.
Having said that, you might compare the repair price with what a newer iPod Touch would cost you. Here's just one sample page with pricing:

If you buy a used one, it might be just a little more than the repair cost.

I dropped something on my mac and now the screen is messed up. Can this be fixed?

I am a performer and I had a mic on a mic stand in my room while I was practicing. I accidentally moved the wrong way and knocked my mic off of my stand onto my macbook pro and now the screen is messed. I don't really know a lot about computers so I was wondering, if I take my macbook to the apple store will they be able to fix it? Also, If they can fix it, any idea how much it would cost. Thanks!

The repair will be a replacement. It is an expensive repair well into the hundreds of dollars.
Ciao.

My ipod got wet and now the screen does not respond to touch

i droped my ipod touch in some water and used the rice method to save it but now now it will turn on but it won't respond when i try to touch it. any ideas

Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If yu still have the problem then it appears that the water damaged your iPod and service is required.

Dropped my phone in water and now the camera doesn't work, any ideas why its' the only thing not working

I somehow knocked my iphone 4s in the sink of water and everything seems to work except the camera. Is there a way to reinstall the software or does anyone know what I can do other than using phone protection insurance? All my pictures are there and they upload and share but just can't get the camera to take pictures.

The device is damage, it was dropped in water. You are lucky that the device works at all.

I was using my iPad and then I locked it and now the screen wont light up and when I plug it into iTunes it doesn't show up under devices

I was using my iPad one morning looking at ebay, and then I locked it and came back and when I clicked the home button nothing happend. When I clicked the lock button nothing happened, when I plugged it into iTunes nothing happened and it didn't show uunder "Devices" on to side. Please help me I don't know how to fix this and it's been two days since it happened.

I would then try and do a hard reset like Fernando recomends if that doesnt work you might need to try a DFU Restore.

I reset my IPod because there were gray lines down the screen, and now the screen is flickering, any ideas?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost (not sure which reset you did)
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

If you have an Apple Store near you, take it there and have them check it. If you don't, I would send it in for service.

After drying the iPod in a sealed container od uncooked rice for a week with changing the rice daily, try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

I dropped my phone and now the screen is going funny.

i dropped my iphone on the ground and now the screen is going funny. by that i mean it doesn't always click on the things i want and it doesn't let me unlock my phone, what should i do?

Get it fixed. Take it to an Apple Store for them to look at.
Dropping electronics on hard surfaces does have a habit of making them go "funny" - best to avoid doing that if you can.
