My ipod touch 1st Gen. doesnt boot compleatly. it shows up the apple sign then trys to load for 15 or so minutes, then it restarts, over and over.

before this, the ipod has been a little wet, then it stoped working for the first few weeks. then it has been working for a year and it starts acting up again. i am guessing it is the battery or even boot commands are messed up. is there a way to fix this?

i tryed to restore it and it still doesnt work!!!!!

it also shows up on the computer and in itunes!!!!!

iPod touch, iOS 3.1

Sometimes the iPod's processor can get into an infinite loop. Letting the battery fully drain and then restarting the iPod will get it out of the loop and back to normal operation. But sometimes you have a hardware problem

- Try reset.

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Then connect to your computer and try to restore via iTunes

- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:

iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

- Next try DFU mode.

- If the iPod is still cyckig, let the battry fully drain. After charging for an hour try again.

- If it does not work, then you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You likely have a hardware problem. Maybe caused by the water.
