Two nights ago i fell asleep while playing netflix on my ipod touch 3rd gen 32gb. When i woke up i found that it did not work, the screen is totally blank and it will not respond to anything ( tried restarts holding both buttons...) Upon closer inspection there was a small amount of moisture in the bottom left of the screen after two hours it was all gone. When i got home i placed it in a bag of rice for 24hrs to let it dry. Now its acts the same way and after hooking it to my pc the pc acts as if it was never plugged in ( still no signs of life in the ipod) and after 1 min the bottom left back if quite hot ( the side opposite the headphone jack)
I bet the moisture was from a rupture in the battery cell. Which is like 90$ to fix as it is not covered by warranty. People are telling me to send it in to apple but its jailbroken and i cant restore it to remove jailbreak because its dead.
1. Should i send it into apple? its under warranty but that doesnt cover batterys.
2. Should i repair it myself? i cant seem to get the cover off like in the tutorials.
3. Is my battery theory likely right? if so do you think it would have damaged other stuff.
