Q: My iPod got wet.  It still works, but the battery runs down REALLY fast.  Is there a fix?

Any ideas?

    The best thing to do is to NOT use if for a while, and leave it in a warm well-ventilated place, to let the moisture evaporate.  I heard putting it in a bowl of dry rice helps.  There is obviously a short-circuit causing the battery to drain quickly.  Using it now may cause more damage.
