ok, so i washed my trousers, leaving my ipod touch in the pocket. not good. 90 minutes, 60 degrees and its totally dead. it's dry now but it won't even switch on, no sign of live whatsoever. what could i do? i don't have any warranty any more.
Sorry to say this, but they do not support water damage at Apple. That goes for any iPod, iPad, iPhone, and/or Mac/Macbook. But, there are some ways to get the water out. This happened to my iPhone. As long as you didn't turn it on after the water had gotten inside of it, some of these methods would work.
One is to take some sort of rice and put some into a plastic bag. Make sure there is enough to cover the iPod. Leave the iPod in the bag with it covered in UNCOOKED rice. Then after 4-6 days, turn the iTouch on and see if that helped. If that didn't, you can always blow dry the iPod through the charger placement. But, that has a cause of your iPod warping...so probably not the best idea. There are many different ways, but those are just from memory.

Then I I my put the iPod Touch in a bowl of uncooked rice. Right now, I try to turn it on again and still shows no sign of life. Any other suggestions? I have a lot of information in the touch.

kbfr08 said:Trust me, isopropyl alcohol works wonders on stuff like this. It'll mix with water and its impurities, then evaporate leaving no residue. So, open the ipod up (pry up the screen) and clean all of the circuit boards, connectors, and ports with cleaning alcohol. The only problem will be blotches on the screen from water.

I've always liked the guides over at PowerBook Medic. They're colorful, informative, and the videos show you the details you need. Oh, one piece of advice, invest in one of those cheap plastic tools for taking it apart. I've cracked the glass digitizer numerous times trying to use other tools because I was too cheap to buy one of these little kits.
