I got my ipod wet, dried it out, and now it won't turn on.

I didn't get it totally wet, but water seeped into the buttons, and if you held the home button or the lock button long enough water would come out. I dried it out for several days, but now it won't turn on or open itunes when I plug it in. It also had a low battery when I got it wet so now it has no charge. Is there any way to fix this without paying any money?

Your best bet is to return your iPod to Apple if it's under guarantee. I for one don't believe in guarantee since it's an utter waste, but there's still a chance that they might exchange it for a new one mate. If it's not covered then you've got to pay in order to get it fixed, I'm afraid. :/

  • Reset ipod back to factory yesterday and now it won't turn on

    I rest ipod touch back to factory yesterday and now it doesn't come on at all

    First thing to try is a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Next would be the troubleshooting in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

    I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

  • IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
    Best of luck.

  • Please help me! - My Apple Care ran out and my macbook won't turn on

    Hi!
    My macbook refuses to turn on. It started with the fans not functioning properly, and then the display kept on turning black. Now it won't turn on at all. Every time I press the power button it boots up, and I can hear the fan and the corner light goes up but it shuts down after a few seconds. I took the battery out but that did not work. My Apple Care just ran out so I would rather not take it to the Genius Bar.
    Thanks!

    Mariposalatina,
    Normally you can get your files back if you take it to a good enough technician to know how to not touch the files to repair such a situation.  If the machine is over 4 years old, the most common reason for the above symptom is a dead PRAM battery or capacitor. 
    Maybetomorrow,
    At very minimum call around to find out if there is a technician in your area who will fix that battery or capacitor without touching your data, or at least will extract the hard drive so you can put it in an external hard drive case and attach to a newer computer.

  • Got iPod wet, then Dried it out and now..?

    i have an iPod classic, and i got it wet, kept it in rice for 9 days, and now it's dry. when i went to plug it into my computer, the screen lit up white and the headphone jack started buzzing. iPod is from late 05 or 06, is it a lost cause? please help, any answers appreciated.

    9 days should have been more than enough time to absorb all the moisture out, but depending on whether or not the iPod was still powered on when it got wet could mean that it was short circuited by the moisture.  I'm afraid it won't help, but its always worth a shot to work through the 5 R's of troubleshooting first before assuming its a hardware issue.

  • MY IPOD GOT WET AND NOW IT WON'T TURN ON! D8

    Help! My iPod was in my bag and my water bottle leaked all over everything and I had not discovered my iPod was wet until I got home. D8

    I've heard a lot of different theories on how to revive water-damaged iPods. You should search the forums--you will most likely get hundreds of similar posts. Methods I can think of off of the top of my head are:
    1. Put in a warm bowl of rice in a warm spot
    2. Put on a sunny windowsill for several hours
    3. (probably don't try unless you're totally desperate) put in a warm oven on a towel with the door open for a very short time
    These are only a few options... if you use the search option you will find many, many more.

  • I got a brand new ipod touch 5th. i backed it up and now it won't turn on. Why? what's going on?

    I bought a 5th generation iPod touch. everything was working fine. until I tried to back up my music from iTunes. it said it would restart after "backing up" and it didn't. this is the second iPod this has happened to. I left the last one on the charger and plugged in for a whole night and half a day. and it still wouldn't turn on. So I returned it thinking there was something wrong with it internally since I got it at Wal-Mart . now it's happening again and this time I just went to the apple store to since it was the most reliable place to get an iPod but it's still happening . how long am I suppose to wait? or am I doing something wrong? All the iPod information is showing up on iTunes. and it's all up to date.
    what's going on?

  • I just got a screen protector put on my iphone and I put it in to charge and now it won't turn on or charge

    I got the Iphone screen protector put on and it was working perfectly before and after. BUT when I went to charge it due to low battery it won't charge or turn on. There is condensation within the camera lens. What is the problem?

    The installers use water to get the air bubbles out of the film. Looks like they got a little heavy handed with yours. You warranty is now voided (there are moisture indicators in the phone). You will need the screen protector people to replace your phone.
    Since they will likely decline, if you are in the US, threaten to file a claim on their insurance for damaging your property in thier control.

  • My iPod 5th gen was working fine and now it won't turn on.

    This morning I was listening to music on it and everything, it was working absolutely fine and went to take a shower, so I locked it. When I came back, it would not respond at all. Like it is on the off screen, with nothing on it. I bought it off a friend and the home button is stuck, so I can't put it in recovery mode, and I was going to download a client to do it on a computer, but my personal laptop does not recognize it (it doesn't even come up on the computer usb port thing and it doesn't charge when I plug it into the wall). I just recently purchased the charger (literally in the last week) so I do not believe it is the charger because it was charging fine all night. Also it was at full charge when I went to shower so I honestly have no idea what to do. I looked up solutions but I am unable to do anything when my computer can't even recognize it. Somebody please help me, or at least tell me I'm screwed so I can stop worrying about it This iPod is important to me and I have a lot of valuable data on it so I will be very dissapointed if I cannot continue to use it.
