How Can i fix my Ipod touch from water damage?

No. When you drop an electronic device, DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON. If it is on, power it off immediately. Just because the outside is dry doesn't mean the inside is. Once you turn it on while still wet, it will short circuit, and you will probably never see it on again. What you should do is power it off immediately, then get a bowl of rice or silicon packs, and put it in there for two nights. This is the best way, as the rice/silicon packs soak up all the water. After two days, you can power it on, and it most likely will work. Be patient. After one day it will look dry enough, but looks are deceiving. Sorry to tell you, but there is nothing you can do to resurrect it.

Try getting an Otterbox case for your Ipod. It has 2 or 3 layers so it would take longer for the water to reach the actual ipod. This will not make your ipod work again but it will prevent damage next time you drop it in a toilet(:

I doubt if you will be able to get it to work after so long, corrosion has already started by now, as the other person here suggested, an Otter Box is a great suggestion - I dropped my iPhone in a slatwater canal - had to dive in and retrieve it from the bottom, I took it out of the case and put it in a bag of rice for a couple of days and it worked fine. You MUST power it off immediately, any electrical current running through the components will short it out...

When you drop a phone in salt water, you can not just do the usual turn off and dry out. Salt is very corrosive, and can destroy the sensitive electronics. After its off, you have to rinse it off with fresh water, or ever alcohol. Then you can let it dry out.

I just recently dropped my iPod into a pool last week. It's the fourth generation, 8gb. I was devesqted but we quickly fished it out. Immediately we dried it off and put it in a huge pot of rice. We waited 36-48 hours took in out and plugged it into the computer. We waited 20 minutes and it turned back on. But it took 3 days to adjust. I still had all my data but no camera. Then the next day I got my front camera back. And the day after that I got the back camera back. I actually am using the iPod to write this. Hope it helps.

I think it costs alot but you can get that thing done to it i forgot the name lol but they put it in the low compression chambers and spray that thing on them hope you know the name acctualy it COULD be pi2 but dont qoute me hope this helps. 🙂

Only a few hours ago I used a plastic bag and used my iPod touch 5 in the shower but I didn't know the bag was ummm gunky so I pulled it out and the entire back was wet and I dried it off and shut it off. I turned it back on and the lock screen was blinking rapidly then I QUICKLY turned it off again got a sock full of rice and threw it in there sealed it with a bag and wished it good luck a few hours went by and I opened it and turned it on and it was fine. I read on some websites that there is a sticker in the headphone jack if it is white your good but if not white not good. Mine was white,fortuniey, so there ya go. By the way mine wasn't completely submerged into water

I dropped my iPod in a cup of water with hardly any in it and I didn't know i was supposed to shut it off right away. so after i pulled it out it worked fine, then i used a blow dryer just in case and then the screen stopped working. when i clicked the home button and slide my finger across to unlock it, it still makes that unlocked sound but the screen is just black. now its been sitting in rice but since i didn't shut it off right away will it work??

Hey cc collins2017, You may get lucky, but don't get your hopes up! Your right should have left it off, and placed it a sealed bag of uncooked rice for at least 7 days. Changing the rice every couple of days. (That's for the next time). The hair dry... VERY BAD!! They get to hot, you may have cooked you iPod. Turning it on when still wet, Very Bad! You may have shorted something out. Give it a week in the rice, (You have nothing to loose) then attempt to turn on. You may need to charge for 30 minutes and you may need to reset or attempt to restore or attempt DFU recovery mode. And just to be clear, it may never work again. You can contact Apple and enquire about getting an out of warranty replacement, purchasing a refurbished iPod, it will cost less than buying new. Good luck. Cheers.

It isn't the heat from the blow dryer that caused your problem it is the fact that you blew moisture farther into you device when you did that which resulted in shorting out your screen.

I don't think any type of home recovery mode will work now so you are probably looking at an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store. Make a Genius Bar appointment before you go and bring money.

If you do decide to try home remedies I suggest you go to the store and purchase silica gel packets instead of raw rice and let it sit for 2 - 3 days. As JEM24 said let it charge for at least 30 minutes and then reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons). You may have to try several times. You should not need to restore it and you definitely won't need to put it in DFU mode. If you do decide to use raw rice it is not necessary to change the rice but do clean any rice dust/residue before connecting to power.

My 5th generation literally JUST went for a swim (was listening to it while in the bathtub). Good news: I have a few pounds of rice in the pantry. Bad news: I'm not sure I got it out in time and it may be done for. Ughhhhhh...

Time to get a new one.

Never in a toilet, but in a pool, I had to get the screen replaced by some 3rd party, but Then it worked.

try putting it in rice and leave it for a while i had an ipod go in a drink and i let it sit in rice fr a few weeks and it started working

Eh a weeks is to long. You could do 1 week if you want to be extra sure. But I'm not to sure about multiple weeks.
