Shuffle encounter with washing machine

Whatever you do... _*DO NOT*_ plug it in!!!!!!

Unplug earphones, and tap it against a hard surface a few times with the earphones jack down. Then put it somewhere that's dry and room temperature for about a week before attempting to connect it...

Some people have gotten good results by putting a washed shuffle in a plastic bag filled with dry rice and leaving it there a few days. The theory is that the rice will soak up the moisture.

Ok, today must be the day of the washing machine disasters! I too have washed my daughters' 1st gen. shuffle today! My problem is that before reading the response to the 1st question I went ahead and plugged in the shuffle! It didn't seem wet when I took it out of the washer just a tiny bit damp...so I dryed it alittle more & plugged it in. The computer seemed to recognize it, even iTunes listed all of the songs in her memory etc. and the battery light began blinking, looking like it was charging. But when I unplugged it & plugged in the headphones...NOTHING! No lights, no sound, nothing at all. Did I kill it...is it worth it to try to revive it or just buy her a new one? Thanks for any advice...I currently hav it in the bag with the dry rice.

$49 gets your daughter a cute little aluminum shuffle in her choice of colors...

Are yiu saying I killed it???
