iPod Shuffle went thru washing machine

Glad to know I'm not the only bone head. I just found mine in the washer, as well. Left it in a pocket !! Any answers to if it's fixable or not ???

I accidentally threw my 2-week-old iPod Shuffle into
the washing machine machine yesterday. I caught it
before it went thru the dryer. Now it doesn't work.
Nothing happens when i try to turn it on. Does anyone
know if it can be repaired?

Put it in a warm dry place and leave it there for a few days (a week would be better) before attempting to connect it to your computer or any power source.

my 2nd generartion ipod nano went in the washer and wont work.
I took it to an apple shop and they sorted it out for me so when i got it home it worked ok in the computer and in my speakers, was fully charged and played but when i take it out and want to listen through the headphones it doesnt work and the screen goes all funny.

can anyone help me?

I have also had to deal with the ipod washing machine deal....I put mine in the oven at 125º for about an hour and got the screen to show the dark apple...and then it went dead...did it again for another hour and i got it to re-initialize and updated the software and even loaded a couple of songs (thinking conservatively--which is not my normal bent)....

that went ok but as i got cocky (and liberal at the same time) i tried to download a few more songs to it and it went dead again...

put it in for another hour and got the screen to light when i hooked it up to USB 2.0 port...but it only stayed lit for a few seconds...then went black again....and since then no luck...

I have it in the oven again as we speak but i have no illusions as to the success of this effort...but i'm watching the NBA playoffs and i did (really) stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night!!

Don't try a blow dryer, unless it has a no heat setting.

A hot blowdryer can easily cause more damage to an iPod.

and i also left it in a warm, dry place for like 2 weeks and it still doesn't work.
