Dropped ipod into water, computer not detecting!?

Question

I had my iPod into my bag and water filled it up, for a estimate of 30 minutes.

I took it out, and now it isn't coming on, I plugged it into the computer and it detects an unknown USB source, then undetected it.

(The screen is blotchy) What should i do?

Answer 1

You could try leaving the iPod out in the sun to evaporate the moisture or put it in a bowl or uncooked rice to absorb it, but you've basically got a 50-50 shot as to whether it'll work again.  Hopefully you'll get lucky, because water damage is not covered in the warranty (if yours is still active).

Answer 2

If you leave it in the sun in an air conditioned house will evaporate the water in the unit fast and then and only then do you turn it on! About a day will do with the batteries removed and the case left open! Oh and don't leave it in direct sun light as this might melt it!

Answer 3

I'm really sorry, but it's probably broken. you could try to let it dry, but there's a good chance it won't work again.
