Thought I should share some tech gyan…
Reps welcome:rofl: :rofl:

Here is some advice if your iPod accidentally falls into the toilet water:

  1. The following is really hard sometimes. Try to immediately pull your iPod out of the toilet water. Use some towel or cleaning material to quickly clean and dry the external parts of the iPod.

  2. Quickly turn off your iPod. As you probably know, water and electricity just won’t mix. Water may seriously damage the electrical connections. Just turn it off as soon as you can!

  3. Rinse your iPod. Use an air hose or something to blow air and remove any water that’s stuck inside the device. Shake the device well before blowing any air.

  4. You might need to erase and restore all your data from the hard drive. The iPod hard drive is a quite sensitive hardware part.

  5. Place your iPod in a safe and warm place. Try to forget and start praying. Hopefully, everything will be fine. Wait for a day or more before turning on your iPod. Do not use the device unless you are sure that it’s completely dry!

  6. Chances are your iPod will also need a hardware check. Visit your local repair store and tell them that your iPod fell into your toilet. Be sure to warn those guys if the toilet water was not so clean.

If you are lucky, your iPod will survive the water encounter and work again. A lot of electronic devices can be recovered from water immersion. Just remember to immediately turn off the power.

Now that your iPod is working again it’s time to download some cool iPod stuff and have fun. Next time you want to hear music when you are in the toilet please be extra careful. Especially if you had bad seafood the night before.

My moms V3 went into the washing machine, with a few bedsheets.

Got it working again, after a lot of wiping and blow drying.

But it was never the same. Random shutoffs, speaker phone malfunctioning. Blah blah.

Got rid of it and bought a new 1. Lol.
