IPOD NANO Vs Washing Machine

[kidloco]

The missus aint happy, the stupid bint, sorry, poor unfortunate soul has just realised she put her Nano (which I bought her ) in the wash, And shock horror it no longer works. I have shaken all the water out, and will leave it upright to drain for a day or 2.

Anyone know what the chances of this working ever again are ? is there a way to crack them open and dry it out properly ?

Im just clutching at straws here I know but she is a little upset and im a little peed off but accidents happen.

Oh, its out of warrentee and Apple want £88 to repair what is now a £99 Nano, how fair

well after leaving it in the airing cuboard overhight stood up i plugged it in the USB this morning. It lit up and I thought evrything was OK, only to find that there is clearly water under the screen and no graphics on the display. Looks the the screen is goosed.

Oh well, ill leave it for another day or 2 and see what happens.


Failing that its her birthday in a few weeks so she will have to wait for a replacement until then, the new ones are supposed to be a lot better anyway I beleive.

pretty stupid to try it straight after it been in water.

Well how constructive, thank you for your valuable and well thought out post.

its fools like you that troll around threads looking for crap to post that have a tendancy to ruin things around here. 'Rant Over'

To everyone else, cheers for the input, it does work but the screen is defo a gonna, Iv already bought her a new 8gig one for her birthday in 2 weeks, just tiem to try and track down a water proof casing

So if she washes the new one, dont turn it on at all for two or so days

If she washes the new one

LOL have you met her, yes she is that daft, but if she does it again then I feel she maybe following the little nano into the washer
