Water in iPod, doesn't power on

Water in iPod, doesn't power on My son got water in his ipod touch. Dont think he got all the water out, (it was not submerged, but dripped water in the end) . It worked for a while, but later he charged the unit, and it got hot. Has not worked since.

"I have another question. You stated "" Unfortunately the dock connector is connected to the logic board unlike the iPhone where it is a separate assembly.""

So if my iphone gets wet in the same manner, is there a likely hood it may be saved?"

One thing to speed up the drying process is to put the device in a bowl of rice. This has worked for me on an iPhone 3GS and iPod 2G. Power the device off and leave it in the rice for at least a week.

Just Burry it in a bag of rice for a week and it should remove all the water out from the iPod!

"David.

Does this rice really work? What does the rice do to the Iphone?"

"Rice trick works.

I read an article about saving units exposed to water. You can search it to give you more ideas about it. These are the things that I remembered from it. I know someone who used this for a nokia phone that was accidentally dropped in water.

If it was immersed in salt water, you need to wash it using water w/ no salt in it. After washing, dry it and remove all removable parts. Put it in a storage where there is uncooked rice. Make sure your unit is immersed in it and leave it for at least 24 hours. You can leave it for 2 days if you want to. After doing this, turn on your unit and hope it turns on."
