wnaplay1647545503 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have soaked almost everything I own, I never wait. My kids ipods have been washed and dried several times. They always work just fine afterwards. I put them right on the chargers straight from the washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Rice works, but pure alcohol works better. Getting the water off of the circuitry without leaving deposits of impurities is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I always manage to do laundry with things in my pockets -- thank goodness never electronics though. I just washed a pack of firecrackers (where I got them I don't remember) with my whites and they turned everything red. That was not fun.

evan9381 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 well, being that im taking a trip to cleveland tonight, and i didnt want to make the drive without my music, i tried to fire it up, got nothing. i had a white screen, and i can press play and hear music, but no display. went into the store, they told me the water indicators had been tripped (i have no idea how that would have happened! lol). charged me $89 and gave me a replacement. my old one is gone, which sucks because it had some videos of my nephew on it, but all my music was on my computer, so at least i didnt lose out on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 fried my blackberry in hawaii, i jumped in the pacific and it was in my pocket. so i went to walked 4 miles to the nearest "AT&T" store, which turned out to be a radio shack that sold go phones. FML, but at least i wasnt completely phoneless 30000000 miles from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
