Touch screen not working on iPod Touch (after I dropped it in a fish tank)?

Hello,
I dropped my brand new iPod Touch into my fish tank while it was on. It stayed on for a few seconds but shut down before I was able to get it out. Besides the obvious water damage, it also suffered three cracks across the screen.
I immediately dried it with towels and stood it up to let the water drain out. When no more water was dripping out of the charging port on its own, I took to blowing into both the charging port and the earphone jack myself until there were no more water droplets coming out. When that was finished, I buried my iPod in a bowl of rice for 4 days.
Today I took my iPod out, and tried to turn it on. Nothing happened, so I plugged it into my charging dock. The white Apple icon appeared, as if it were about to turn on, but went black after about 30 seconds. This repeated itself many times until finally, to  my surprise, the lock screen came on! I was so excited that it finally started working, and swiped my finger across the "Slide to Unlock" bar. Nothing happened... puzzled, I tried again. It will not let me type in my code or anything, the touch screen is not responding.
Any ideas?
I at least want to get it to sync with my computer so that I can get my data on there before having to replace my iPod, I do not want to lose everything (for the second time).
Thank you so much in advance for any tips or advice that you can offer at this time.

First read this representative suggestion on saving your soaked Touch:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_fix_an_iPod_that_fell_in_water
If you used your Touch like most users, you sync the tunes via iTunes. That means all the audio and video is saved to your hard disk - which is great news. Your documents are preserved. On the other hand, if you don't use iTunes, I'm not sure I can help.
Do you sync your Touch?

    Hi,
    Check the Transportatation Logs in STMS for the programs/screens and check whether they are successfully tranported or not?
    Because some times we get Dynpro errors for transportation of the screens.
    Reward if useful.

  • Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacemen​t

    After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
    But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways. 
    I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
    When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

    Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.

    The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use.  There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos.  Also see:

  • LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

    Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
    Anybody know of a way round this?

    Hi @dnhowes ,
    I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
    Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
    I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.
    If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further assistance. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • 8500 All in One - touch screen not working

    One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond.  Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless.   With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded. 
    Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works.  Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error?  Thanks for any help ...
    Linda T

    Excellent.  Let me know how round 2 treats you.  The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now?  I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

  • Sony Vaio Pro 13.3 Touch: Touch screen not working

    Hi, The touch screen for my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch suddenly stopped working two days ago and I have no idea how to fix it. I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, and I tried to install all the new drivers on the VAIO update but it still didn't work. I thought it might be because of Windows so I updated to Windows 8.1 today and it still does not work. On the PC info it even says" Pen abd touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display". but this laptop is supposed to have touch capability and it has been working up until now. Please help! My model number is SVP13215CDB. Do I need to install or update my driver?

    Hi FlyingTortoise,
    Was there any changes prior to touch screen not working?  Like installing software or hardware?  If not, then try using windows system restore to restore back to a date that you know when it was working.  If that still does not resolve issue.  Then we may have to put the unit back to factory condition to eliminate software related before servicing the unit for hardware.

  • TOUCH SCREEN NOT WORKING XPERIA Z ,

Loads ok & can power off using the volume + key & power button & then turns on but touch screen still not working, It hasn't been dropped & no liquid spilt on it, only 2 months old. Can't download anything support etc from Sony as it asks to enter the password to open the phone which she can't do as the touch screen not working.Is there another way or does it need to go back to the comapny for repair. It is contarct with VirginThanks in advance

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I'm sorry to hear. If the touch does not work, it's not much that you can do on your own more than performing a software repair to exclude software related problems. This can be done via our program Update service:
    http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
    Download and install SUS, follow the instructions that appear.
    Note that the personal data will be lost when performing this repair and if you cannot access the menu, you are unable to back up this data.
    If the problem persist, I suggest that you contact your local support team to get information about how you should proceed in this case:
