it'll work after you let it dry out. takes a few days but it will probably die a lot sooner than if you hadn't stuck it in the wash. happened to meonce lol. After it died it was the perfect excuse for me to upgrade.

Or you can speed up the process by sticking it in the dryer. Don't forget the Downy!

do you still have warranty...because if you do you can like blow dry it out and tak it back...my bro did it and got a new ipod from the "genius bar"at the apple stores

contrary to popular belief, if you let it completely dry out, there is a strong possibility that it will function properly again.

we've dunked hard drives in bathtubs and done all kinds of other things you're not supposed to do to them, and they've all worked. the thing is, ithas to be totally dry.

if its still under warranty, bring it to an apple store. my nano went through the wash a while ago. i went in, told them i let a friend borrow it and now itwon't work but i don't know why, and they replaced it no questions asked

 

[what are you gonna do]

^^ What ryan said.

 

[thizzle wigle]

mine fell in a bathtub and worked after it dried but the battery life was way shorter ad couldn't get the water out of the screen

 

[charles montgomery]

i left mine outside during a storm all night, thats like 12 hours of water, and it worked for a couple months

Not unless those two statements are unrelated.
