Ipod went through washing machine and now backlight doesnt work

my idpod went through the washing machine, and now the light doesn't come on, but everything else still works. is there any way to fix it or am i out of luck?

How long did you let it dry before trying to use it? Put it in a cool, dry place for 5 - 7 days and see if it works after that time frame.
If that doesn't work you can try a 3rd party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com or Google for more.

  • Ipod went through washing machine

    Never had any problems with ipod until today. It went into washing maching. What can I do to dry it out without damage? Or is it too late.

    Dont give up hope! My daughters Nano went through a full cycle before Christmas. Left it on a radiator for a week to dry out thinking it would be dead, but it works! I Tunes still recognises it, I can still sync it and it will play on a speaker doc, it was just the screen that did not work, so you could not choose songs and take pot luck, but hey presto the screen has suddenly started working as well. Ours works for what we need it to do, a few functions still dont work - menu click, but the thing is it still works and the sound is fine! Good luck.

    If that magnet was strong enough, it may have damaged your hard drive. You'll have to bring it in and see if you can get it repaired/replaced.

  • IPod Touch 4G Went Through Washing Machine

    Hey Guys!
    My iPod Touch 4G went through the washing machine (It was in my pants pocket, forgot to check.) and after 5 days in rice, i just turned it on and it works fine. It was dead when it went into the wash. The only problem is that there is a Water Blotch thing in the top right corner of the screen, pretty annoying. Any way to fix this? I am restoring it right now, and when it is done i will post a picture.
    So glad it works!

    The 90% would dry it fine but risk damaging the iPod. Also since the outer glass and LCD screen a re bonded as one unit it would be hard for the alcohol to get in and then then be able to evaporate. It would seem that the bonding between the outer glass and LCD screen has an unbonded are that let the water in. The washing machine action is great at getting the water in through that unbond area. But it would tke a lot of time for the it to evaporate through the unbond area.

  • Ipod Touch Went Through washing Machine

    So my ipod touch went through the wassh but not the dryer. I know, it was really stupid. So, i put my ipodd in a bag of rice for a week and it seemed to absorb all the water out of the screen. The ipod looks like it is in perfect condition.
    however, It only turns on if it is plugged in with an old ipod cable, going through firewire. As soon as i unplug it, it turns off. for a while, it connected to my itunes but ever since i reset it, it hasn't. Another problem is when i go to general setting it says i have "No WI-FI"
    I don't have extended warranty. is it time to say goodbye to it or is there anything i can do?

    Warranty does not cover damage, only defects. Putting it through the wash cycle is not a defect.
    Time for a new IPT, most likely. Some credit cards offer damage coverage, perhaps home owners/renters insurance (although the deductible is likely higher than the value of the IPT).

  • Restored iPod touch through Settings.app and now it's stuck at logo loading

    My computer was being used and I wanted to restore my iPod touch 2G, so I went into the Settings and did the clear everything off the iPod and now it's been at the Apple logo with the white loading ring for half an hour. It's just frozen there. I tried to put it into DFU mode, but my computer finds it as an unknown hardware and not Apple Recovery Device. I just decided to upgrade to 3.0 and I knew something was going to happen, but I did it anyway. Do I wait longer? I doubt it's fryed, but I don't know. Thanks for any help.

    I am having the same troubles with mine. i HAVE let it doe, and it just goes back to the same loading screen. the restore of the ipod (from the 'settings') was not interrupted, so i dont think anything became corrupt..

  • I dropped my ipod (what a stupid idea) and now i wont work

    ok the deal is that i accidently knocked my ipod mini of the sink the bathroom and it fell on the floor. Now in my car i have the ipod adapter thing so i can play it through the car and it works fine, except for when i dropped it. it wouldnt play in there so i reset it. Now it comes up with the apple logo then the sad ipod icon and then the charging battery icon hat doesnt move. i cant put it into disk mode and the computer wont recognise it so i cant restore it. Do i need to get it serviced or i can actually fix this problem myself??

  • My ipod wont charge. The screen flashed white yesterday and now it doesnt work

    My ipod wont charge. It died yesterday and when i did the lock home button thing the screen flashed white. After that the dead signal wont even pop up now an suggestion. Its a ipod touch 4 generation, 36gb I tried charging it to my computer, wii,tv, wall plug NOTHING WORKS.!
    1. The lock button and home thing WONT WORK.

    Try:
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I tried to restore my ipod touch with itunes and now it doesnt work!!

    I restored my ipod touch 2g and now when i turn it on it goes to the apple logo and turns off and thats as far as i get.

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • Updated to 10.6.8 and now firewire doesnt work

    I am on an imac intel core 2, 2.4 ghz, i just updated to 10.6.8 and now i cant access my external drive (g-drive mini) with fire wire, it works with USB still but not firewire. I cant see it in the system profiler or using disk utility but it is powering up when hooked up to the firewire and still beeps when its unplugged.
    I also updated my MBP to 10.6.8 and the firewire still works on that one. Any help would be appreciated to get it working.
    Thanks

    If you have an os on the hdd, why not do a clean install of the os (erase the drive and reinstall osx snow leopard) For snow leopard you insert the osx disk, restart the machine while holding down the c key

  • I have a pc and now itunes doesnt work. I have removed and tried deleting itunes and reinstalling and doesnt work

    I have a Pc and been running Itunes off of it for years. Now it doesn't work. It doesn't run stating it is missing something. I have deleted the itunes and reinstalled and have run the repair as well and it doesnt work. I am not pleased. I need help!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Firefox udated, and now facebook doesnt work correctly.....

    This morning firefox updated itself, and now all of the pop-ups on facebook do not work, no chat, no messages, etc....... is it a default setting that isnt allowing it? i tried my IE and it works fine on that...... ???????? thanks!!!!

    Hello.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • I forget my password and inserted the instalation cd and now It doesnt work

    I forget my password of my MacBook Pro and inserted the instalation cd to recover It and now It does not work what can I do

    Which model Macbook Pro do you have? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.  
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Need details on what happens when you try to boot up from your install disc.  Was it the disc that originally came with your computer?
