My iPod just went through the washing machine.

Since the components, when they get wet, are turned off, and thus water does not create a short circuit, if you turn it on immediately after it gets wet, the water that remains inside will fry the components.

This is certainly the best advice.

Play the rain card ;)

Let it dry well, normally, all electrical devices can be submerged in water, as long as they are thoroughly dried (a few hours on a radiator with a towel, as mentioned above). Since the components, when they get wet, are turned off, the water does not create a short circuit; however, if you turn it on immediately after wetting it, the remaining water inside fries the components.

I tested it with a mobile phone and it works, I'm not telling others to do it but there you go ^^

Best regards.

I have the same thing, but on top of that, it went through the machine at 1200 spins xD so it's a bit dead now. The worst part is that I can still listen to it, but the screen is black.

Hello

There's only one way, put it in a cloth and place the cloth on a radiator for at least 8 hours

The problem is the detergent, but since it's thicker than water, you have a tiny chance that it hasn't penetrated the iPod, so let the iPod dry and... pray

Good luck

I’m not an expert, but since you’re putting it on a radiator, the water is going to evaporate inside your iPod, since it’s closed (case). So since it’s closed, you’re going to keep the same humidity level inside your iPod, so in my opinion, putting it on a radiator won’t change anything, except for heating up what’s inside.

Yes, thank you =)
But last night, as if by magic, it turned on and the music worked, even the earphones that had also gone through the washing machine worked =) The light works too!! I really didn't believe it after 2 days =/
But now, it works like before, even better lol =D These iPods are really great, they're already so practical and so ingenious, plus they're waterproof!! Honestly, I say BRAVO, for an iPod to work normally again after being submerged in water and soap for nearly an hour. That's impressive!! Apple is really very strong!! ;D But my iPod will probably stay with that tissue at the bottom (apparently, it doesn't block the contacts of the earphones) Cool!! Thank you & kisses

You can have it covered under warranty for a defective screen, the problem is that if they see any traces of detergent or anything else, they will refuse it.

I believe they can see directly if the iPod has been in water or not (normally there is a white capsule at the bottom of the audio jack that turns blue when it comes into contact with water).

Keep us posted ;)

Hello everyone,
My iPod Nano 5G also went through the wash but only for half an hour. I placed it on the radiator. Fortunately, it was turned off and locked. I will let it dry for two days on the heater and then I will put it in a bag of dry beans.

Have a nice day everyone and let's pray, but I'm reassured by your messages since iPods are a bit water-resistant, but mine had the headphones unplugged :(

Well, we'll see. I'll keep you posted!

Bye

Finally, you know you could have just ended up with a huge downpour...

It's not easy to prove that it got wet...

A cotton swab to remove the detergent, don't forget to take out the cotton or else it won't work, it's obvious ;)

Otherwise, well done on the washing machine!

When I look, I see water nowhere ^^ XD
But in my opinion, I think there is some inside...
But even if we spill a little water, won't they take it back? Because at worst, I’ll just say I spilled a bottle!

Alright ;) My dad is taking me to Carrefour tomorrow :DDD
So let's hope he believes my lie lol

LOL Henzou !!
At the same time, chocolate in liquid at 45° can be understood! It melts, LMAO.

I find it hilarious! I did it on purpose!! Who do you think you are!! I have it in white lol

They took it back without asking me anything :DDDDD lol but I have to wait 20 days :( That's not as good XD

It means they are sending it to Apple's customer service, hoping they won't refuse it there

I already have my Emtec 16GB USB stick that had all my main info, which went through the washing machine. I freaked out during the wash, and it came out unscathed. ;)

If the openings are small, the water won't evaporate easily in my opinion.
