How Can i fix my Ipod touch from water damage?

So awhile ago i dropped my ipod touch 8GB into a toilet (water was clean). I got a new one a week later after trying things to fix my Ipod touch. But now i wanna see if ill turn on again since last few months. I have tried to press buttons in a certain way to turn in on but still nothing.I tried plugging it into my computer but still nothing.So i wanna see if anyone has a few things that may help me. Also if after you dropped you ipod touch into a toilet and grabbed it out n dried it off with something and started pressing buttons is it certainly not going to work again?

~ Thanks

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.

Put uncooked rice is a sealable container like Tuberware or a zip-lock bag and put the iPod inside and seal it. Change the rice daily for a week.

Burying it is best but just laying it on the rice in a sealed container is OK.
