Are iPods waterproof? :-(

[Drewar]

I just bought a new iPod about 3 weeks ago.

I just got back from the gym and did laundry.

Who can guess where this is going?

I forgot my iPod was in my gym shorts and put them through the wash. I'm currently waiting for the washing cycle to finish so I can check on my iPod :-P

Has anyone ever done this to an electronic device before? Did it survive?

Cheers :-P

My iPod nano died after a trip in the washing machine.

[lawrawrrr]

my iPhone survived after a short trip into the toilet bowl but if it's in the washing machine I doubt it'll work again sorry!!

Err, i'm guessing you know the answer. My iPod Classic went through the washing machine and never opened its light eyes again.

when you get it back, dont turn it on just put it in a bowl of rice

in the night, the rice will atract as-

lmfao hopefully it'll dry out, then try turn it on

Nope.
It depends how long it has been submerged into water.
Dropping it in a sink or down a toilet bowl will have a high chance if you don't switch it on.
Leaving it on a heater for 48 hours usually fixes the problem.
If it has been in the washing machine though, it will eventually corrode the internal boards and break in the future even if it does work now

^ as said above, rice is your best bet... and prayer.

I've heard putting it in rice dries it out? Best seeing if you can claim on the insurance, providing you have it

[wixard]

yes if you have updated it to latest version it is now waterproof
