How do you make an iPod come back to life?

Asked by kimchi (1440points) October 31st, 2012

Hiya! Okay, I accidentally put my iPod in the washer (don’t ask) and now it’s been about a week and it hasn’t turned on. What should I do?

Put it in a baggie of dry white rice. leave it overnight.

The rice trick is about the only real chance you have, though you should know that it isn’t guaranteed.

I ran my iPod Touch through the washer and dryer and a month later dropped it in the toilette. I left it out in the sun for a few days And it failed to turn on. I assumed it was dead. After about a week I plugged it in to the usb port on my computer and about a half hour later it turned back on.

The battery from here on out would only hold a charge for about a hour. But they can be replaced.

It’s a little late, but have you tried mouth to mouth resuscitation?
