My brother's iPod nano went through the washer and dryer!

My brother was looking for his nano for like a week. Yesterday my mom cleaned his room and put his clothes in the laundry. Today when we were folding the clothes we found it in his pants and it was really hot. Will it survive?

Maybe. Put it in a bag of uncooked rice, let it sit for a week.
Good luck.

My iPod shuffle went through the washer and dryer. The little light turns on but no music comes through any headphones. ???

What to do??
Okay so I found my iPod had gone through the washer and dryer. It was perfectly dry. I tried to turn it on, and nothing. But I thought maybe it's just dead. So I plugged it in, let it charge...when I tried to turn it on, the little light went green. I thought hurray!! But I put in the earbuds and heard nothing except some random "Battery level 75 percent." On my sister's earbuds. On my earbuds, which went through the washer too, nothing.
What to do???

It's likely that your iPod is toast. It does not play well with water and soap.

My iPod Touch 4G went through the washer and dryer. What should I do?

My iPod Touch went through the washer and dryer. The battery was working, so I turned it on, and surprisingly, the Apple logo showed up, but there were bubbles in the screen. Upon seeing this, I immediately turned it off, and placed it in a bowl of rice. What are some other ways that I can fix the device, either by by taking it to Apple, or another repair specialist?
Help needed ASAP!!!

Put rice and your iPod in a zipline bag (no air). Change the rice daily. Leave it there for about a week. Try opening your iPod. If it doesn't work, take it in for replacement.

My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer, Can I fix It?

My ipod shuffle went though the washer and dryer,the music works when I put my earbuds in but none of the buttons work on the ipod, I can still hear my music good but is my ipod pretty much done or there is a way I can fix it?

It's likely that the iPod's contact with moisture and soap has short circuited some of its internal components. Water and soap don't mix well with small electronics.
At this point, there really isn't much you can do other than start saving for a new one.

Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer! Any hope? What to do?

Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?

Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry.

Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

No. Just put it in rice as is.
You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

IPod takes a trip through the washer and dryer

My 14 year old son left his iPod nano (3rd Gen.) in his jeans pocket and it ended going through the washer and dryer. It now doesn't work. I think it's a definate goner, but he insists I find out whether it is fixable.
Anyone want to take a shot at this one?

Most likely the battery is shot from that cycle. It MIGHT be fixable with a new battery, but it may not be worth it.
http://www.iresq.com/ipod/ will evaluate iPods for only $9 and let you know what it will cost to repair...
http://www.iresq.com/ipod/detail.php?prodID=P010935
basically you ship it on your dime. They check it out and contact you with the repair estimate. If you decline, they ship the iPod back and you owe nothing more. They keep the $9 of course.
No first hand experience with these guys, but it might be worth the $9 to determine what the repair will cost.
Good luck,
Patrick

IPod video went through the washer

I have the sick face on my video screen after drying out 1 week. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?

You most likely have Logic Board damage from the water, and hard drive damage from the shakes and bumps. Even if you were to replace just these 2 things, you'd be better off buying a new iPod. A hard drive may run you $120 or so and a logic board $50 or so. And, theres no guarentee all your other parts didn't suffer any damage.

IPhone went through the washer and is 90% ok

My Verizon iPhone spent an entire cycle in the washer. It is now completely fine, other than the fact the the HOME button doest not work. All other buttons are fine, it charges fine and the screen is unblemished. What are my options?? I live in a very rural are and do not have easy access to any Apple stores or authorized retailers.

It will be worth the trip, as it probably won't get better. It will just get worse as other bits corrode on the inside! Even if the trip is a bit long do it.

My ipod went through the wash about two years ago and now the wifi is dimed out and wont let me turn it on. :/

okay so , my ipod is about two years old and went through the washer and dryer. no one has used it for two years because no one ever took the time to fix it, until now when my previous ipod cracked and barley works now. So i took it upon my time to fix this washed ipod and i have been able to successfully restore it and , backup, and restore backup. i have also reset the network settings, and still my wifi is dimmed out and wont let me switch it on, i have read the apple websites resolution to this problem and i have tried it and they do not seem to work as my wifi is still DIMMED out. I would like to switch over to this one because my cracked one is hard to use, but in order for me to use this one it would be very nice to have wifi so i could download apps, and when i restored and reset the ipod to act like a new one, it wont even let me sign in to my apple id because i do not have Internet, now the funny part is my wifi is working fine for my 5 family members and their phones/android tablets, i am the only one who has an apple device. please right back!!! thanks!

iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

My ipod went through the washing machine!

Ok, i have a 1GB shuffle and not realizing it was still in my pants, it went through the wash and dryer. Is there anyway to salvage it?

A friend of mine has a son who left his Nano in his pants that went through the wash and dryer. After sitting around for a few days it came back to life. They life in a dry desert community, so other parts of the world you may need to wait longer.
Hope it comes back for you,

Ipod went through the washing machine

My son's ipod touch went through the washing machine and just wanted to know if there is anything can do to save it?

Do not charge or try to use the iPod until dry.

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.
