Ipod Touch randomly turning off and on

Well I just discovered that my ipod touch 3g is having some problems. It randomly turns itself on and off. I've read up on the forums and I am suspecting a little water damage maybe. I use little drops of water to clean the surface of my ipod and maybe somehow it got water inside it? Is it possible that this could happen? For now I put it in a cup of rice to try and get water out that may be there. But is there any other possible problem that's causing this? I've tried force resetting it twice but it's still having the same issues. Any help would be appreciated

If you only restored from backup, restore to factory settings/new iPod
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    - First try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Next connect to a computer and restore the iPod if theiPod appears in iTunes.
    - Next see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.    
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My 3rd gen ipod touch keeps turning off

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch keeps turning off. I put it on charge until full, but when I switch it on it turns off after a few minutes.
    Is this a hardware problem or a faulty battery?

    Save your time and frustration. Return to Apple for an exchange product.
