water condensation

is there any way to get water condensation out from inside the iPod? my friends sister brought her iPod into the bathroom while she showered and when she came out, she noticed tiny, glittery looking beads under the screen. Any quick fixes or will evaporation take care of it in due time? Thanks.

the iPod works fine and all, but i know if it were my ipod id be going crazy if anything were wrong with my screen. Water vapor is lame, its never done any good for anyone.

I wonder how long her shower was and how small the room was?

Get some desicate (those little gel packets that come with new products) and put some in a ziploc with the iPod. That should absorb any moisture.

Thank you. That is a very good idea. I will have her try it immediately.

In addition to what Sharon recommended, it's best to just let it dry by itself. Don't use a hairdryer or anything else. And if possible, keep it switched off until all moisture is gone so you don't risk a short.
