ipod shuffle in the washing machine

my ipod shuffle got left in the washing machine, and now it is dead. the cpu still reads it and all of the songs on it/. but nothing else away from the cpu. does warranty cover this?

i was washed my shuffle too and i didnt get ridd of easily
My ipod was working properly but its battery wasnt charging
I take it to a local apple service and i told the battery isnt recharging( did not even talk about the washing process;)) and after 15 days service had called me and said "your ipod is replaced with new one, please come and take it". When i hear this i thought i will pay money for it because of out of warranty but when i went to take new ipod, it was in warranty range and i took my new ipod without any fee and plus with a big smile in my face lol

I'm praying this works for me. I had my Ipod Nano for less than 24hrs as a suprise Christmas present this year. I couldn't believe the next surprise would be 1 minute in the washing machine. I snagged the ipod out before the machine even filled up with water - and the ipod was at the top of the wash - it wasn't even fully submerged. Nonetheless, it is a brick now.

Talk about a device that is "too good to be true". But I was in heaven for a little less than a day. I was totally in love with it. Now it just sits there mocking me in its obsidian silence. boo hoo!

I'm really tempted to try this (despite the extremely bad karma). But I know that with some cellphones, there is a sticker on the inside, that changes colour with water damage, so I'm wondering if there is something similar inside the shuffle. I just don't want to send it in and then get stuck with a bill for over $100 because it's not covered under warranty.
