I spilled water on my iPod and don't really have the money to send it to Apple to get it fixed. ?

Question

I spilled water on the click wheel and the USB port, and now it won't turn on..I've waited for a few days to see if it dried out, but it hasn't worked. It won't even turn on...Help?

Answer 1

You shouldn't have tried switching it on straight after the spillage.

It's better if you left it for at least 3 days and plug it in to check. But i think the  only way is to get a new one or open the ipod open to evaporate the water and close it again but i dont recommend it just in case something bad goes wrong

Answer 2

wow d**n that reall sucks ****, yeah water and technology doesnt mix lol but only advice I could give would be that to go out and buy a used 1 but then again my ipod is a plain 4gb mini and yeah but just save for a new 1. I suppose is the best thing you can do at the moment. Sorry I cant be really much help, hopefully some1 who answers this other than me can help you way more than I did :) neways good luck with the iPod problem  

Answer 3

If it was just water and not some kind os sugary drink like tea or soda you should dry it out open it up and try replacing the battery. Heres a tutorial on how to take apart a 5g ipod video (the most common one). Its realy simple and replaceing the battery is pretty much the same on all of them. Heres a link to a battery on ebay you can get them for around 10 bucks. Hey its morth a shot.
