Washed my ipod touch???

okay, so i washed my ipod touch in the washing machine and then it was in the dryer. i realised after i had emptied the dryer that it was in a pair of jeans. i didn't turn it on but i put it in a bag of rice and it has been that way for 24 hours. not quite sure what to do next, a bit scared just in case i have seriously stuffed up the ipod. please help if you can...

so it has been in the rice for 6 days now. i took it out and charged it for a while then turned it on and it works! Only when after you swipe to unlock it, the screen goes black. i can touch things and make noises but nothing comes up. What should i do cos there is no water in it or anything?

  • Yesterday i accidenttly Washed my ipod touch in the washing machine!!! What do i do??

    Yesterday, i accidently washed my iPod touch in the washing machine!!! help me!!

    Do not turn on or charge until it is dry. To dry place the iPod in a sealed container with a desiccant (uncooked rice works) for a week and change it daily.  The try:

    It may or may not work OK afterwards.

  • Ive washed my ipod

    i washed my ipod touch two dayts ago. it has been dryed out and does (surprisingly) still function quite a bit. The only major problem is the fact that the screen remains white. The screen will turn off/on when i press the sleep/wake button but is always white.
    I'm hoping that there is some way to fix this, otherwise I'll probably be buying a new one.

    If for whatever reason an iPod's indicator is red because of water - Apple will not deal with it. It is considered accidental damage. The following page is the coverage on iPod's.
    http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/ipodisight.pdf
    In this document it states and I quote: "This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to
    a defect in materials and workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with non-Apple products; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (e) to damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by Apple; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); (g) to a product or part that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; or (h ) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced."
    If there is any further issues, call Apple. An agent will tell you more information!

  • 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.

  • Is theree anything i can do for my daughter ipod touch, it got washed in the washing machine. she has had it for less than 1 year

    Hi, can I get an ipod touch fixed after it was washed in the washing machine?

    You might want to check your household contents insurance as well, as this might cover accidental damage, even if the credit cards don't.
    Also, if there were purchased items on the iPod, many policies now cover downloaded content as well (up to a limit of course).

    If/when it is dry
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    You may have to periodically change the rice.  Do not turn the iPod on or charge it until it is dry.

  • 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).

  • I washed my sons ipod touch,what do I do?

    I washed my sons ipod touch what should I do?

    First, do not attempt to turn it on.
    Next, there are numerous sites with advice on what to do next. The one that makes the most sense to me is to leave it in a bag of dry, uncooked rice for a few days. Keep it all in a nice warm place, but not too hot. Around 90° F is about right. Whatever moisture is in the Touch may escape and be absorbed by the rice.
    I believe there is only a slight chance of rescuing it.
    If you purchased it with a credit card that has one of those accidental damage agreements, you may get some resolution from pursuing that claim.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer my current iTunes Library for a 5th gen. Nano to a used iPod touch 2nd gen.?

    I was given a used iPod touch 2nd. gen because my old faithful 5th generation nano was tragically washed. But I'm scared to just plug the new one into my computer to see what happens. I want to make sure I don't lose all of the music I have on my nano. Anyone know how to do this?

    Not sure what you are atlaking about.
    Lose what mui from what ipod.
    Your music should be on your computer.  Sync it to your ipod.
