How to Save Your iPod When It (Accidentaly) Goes Down The Toilet
Sponsored Links
What you should do if your iPod accidentaly dropped into the toilet? Don’t worry, don’t panic. You (probably) still able to rescue your iPod. Here’s what you should do.
- Get your iPod off the water (duh!)
- Turn it off immediately.
- Wait until the iPod is completely dry. Don’t do anything, I repeat, anything, before that. It might work fine after it dries out.
- If you are having issues like the Folder icon or Sad Face, you should probably try to erase and restore it. That might work if the hard drive just got a little whacked.
- You probably need to replace a few part inside the iPod. Go to iPod repair service and ask them to check the hardware.
Detail instruction is available on the original source, MethodShop (link at the bottom).
My girlfriend has experienced this before. Not her iPod though (well, actually, she didn’t have iPod), but her cellular phone. After she let it dry for about 2-3 days, the phone worked again like a charm. I guess it won’t be much different with iPod.

I sure hope it dries out and works okay.
I took my iPod to keep me company on the way to work two days ago when it was raining and my computer doesn’t know what it is when I plug it in. ;_; I hope it fixes…
This helped me so much!!!! My ipod nano got a little bit of water in it when I was emptying the dishwasher and now I am going to follow what this says and hopefully it will work before my trip.
[...] make sure you keep your device away from the water. And if it does take a swim, and you’re tasteless enough to want to re-use the device, don’t dry it in a microwave oven. Copyright 2008 Michael [...]
