What are the chances of my ipod being "dead"?

Question

At work the other day I had my ipod in my pocket on the lawnmower, and it started raining. My pants got went and the water soaked through and my ipod got wet. I headed back to the shop and grabbed my rain coat and put it in the pocket of the raincoat and closed the pocket, and everything was fine for a few hours then it started raining again and I again was in the middle of the rain and i believe more water got to my ipod. I left my ipod in my coat pocket for a little while in its case (I have one of those belkin hard plastic cases and after about an hour when I got home I went to get my ipod and stuff out of the truck and I noticed it had gotten wet. I wasnt in the rain but for maybe 10 minutes before I got back to the shop and went home the second time, so I was wondering is my ipod still gonna work? or is there a pretty good chance of it being dead?

Answer 1

there is a pretty big chance of your ipod being dead but try using it and then you'll know for sure if it's dead or not

Answer 2

If you haven't already, do not turn the iPod on. If any current gets exposed, irreparable damage may occur. First try to dry it out. You can do that several ways:

Use a warming light/shop light. Make sure the iPod screen is face down to protect the screen from bright light. Leave the lights on for no longer than 5 minutes at a time (you should be able to touch your iPod; if not, it's too hot). You can also try putting the iPod face down on the dashboard of your vehicle.

It will take quite a while for your iPod to dry. It's not going to happen in an hour and will probably take half a day or more. Just remember not to turn the iPod on until it is dry.

Answer 3

Mine went thru the washing Machine so i think the chance would be slim. BTW mine still works.

Answer 4

It should be ok but leave it out for a few days. It should then go back to full functionality.
