iPod touch Ipod dropped in milk,still works.

[bsgguy]

Ok,so basically I was eating cereal,and my ipod touch 2G fell in it.

The Ipod still works but theres a problem.The whole screen is white.It still acts like a normal ipod,turning on with the power button,locking with the lock button,but the screen is white so I don't know whats going on or what i'm doing.I tried doing the rice trick but that didn't help.

So please,advice?

Dropping it in Benzine might clean the milk off?

it sounds like the clip between the logic board and screen is damaged.

if he turned it off, submersed it in warm water, rinsed it then dryed it for 2 weeks in a bag of rice it could fix it... Don't hold me to that though cause im drunk and proabably posting crap

You may be drunk,but I am willing to try that.

I would definitely keep the milk from getting warm- it'll stink and separate

I was just watching a video on how to do this,I might just use a guitar pick to open it though.

drop it in a bowl of silica Gel.
Silica Gel attracts more water than rice.

I put my G3 nano through the washer twice (accidentally). After letting it dry on a warm surface, for a couple days, there was no impact. That was a b/w LCD screen.

how the fc&k does that even happen? stop playing with electronic toys while you're eating your food.

Ipod in milk

I dropped half of my ipod into some cereal the other day. All seemed well until the speaker sound did not work. I tried turning to work out why but no clue. Luckily the headphone sound still worked! Anyways i turned it on and offf and it picked up the adjustment volume level bar but still no sound. I am fine with it not working but if you leave the sticky stuff on the screen it breaks!

Didn't drop my iPod in a bowl of milk ) ) but I have a Classic laying around for 2 years now since the battery died out and the headphones jack started having problems. Very useful guide, I might try to mess around with it - nothing to lose there since it's been collecting dust anyway.
