water damaged ipod touch

[razorbladequeen]

a couple weeks ago, i dropped my ipod touch into a sink full of cold water. i immediately removed it. it was only in there for about ten seconds, if even. as soon as i took it out of the water, i dried it it off and tried to turn it on. it wouldn't turn on or respond to anything. i left it in rice for two weeks, then the other day i took it out and plugged it into my computer. it turns on now but the screen is all white. is there any hope for my ipod? what can i do if there is. it's under warranty and you can barely tell that the water damage sticker in the headphone jack is a really light pink.:(

Light pink or not, the genius can still tell that water damage has occured. If it's still in warranty that doesn't matter, it no longer is.

Your looking at up to £139 ($199) of repair.

I had a similar experience(not that similar though, ipod was in the washing machine for a full cycle), but I had the patience and hope that it would come back from the dead. I kept it in the sun for like 4 days and then plugged it to my laptop and everything was back to normal except the wifi receiver (internet still intermittently drops)
