An iPod problem..Help?

Question

My mom washed my iPod. It works perfectly when plugged into the wall on a charger. But when it's disconnected it's dead again. Even hooked up to the computer it doesn't work. Does anybody know if it's fixable?

I don't know anything about this stuff so I thought I'd ask.

Answer 1

Sounds like it killed the battery or at least left some corrosion on the battery connector (if not a Nano or Shuffle)

I do ipod repairs, contact me at fernpods_at_gmail (remove the underlines add an @ and a com) if you want more info.  I might be able to help or at least walk you through doing it yourself.

(solicitation of services directly related to the topic is supposedly allowed.)

Answer 2

Woah! This happened to my shuffle, I wasn't really smart and threw it in the washers in my jean pocket... the headphones died and so did the ipod, but I still had a warranty. So I took it into the store and when the guy asked what happened I just said that it stopped working, even when I charge it. If your warranty is still good just say that. But don't tell them you washed it or else they won't fix it or your warranty.
