I tend to not check my pockets when doing the wash... Ya one of them was fucked and I just got it warrantied by saying that it just stopped working randomly so they sent me a new one and then a month later or so i put that one through the wash again but it still worked after i plugged it in. Then about 2 months after that i put my shuffle through the wash and it was fine as well. I just hope i don't put my touch through the wash i can't see that ending to well haha.

did this with a gen 2, it legit didn't work for about a year and a half, then I said f it, gonna try charging it and then I am gonna use it as a paper weight.

Charged fine, and has all the songs, plays without flaw.

If you let comp parts dry out there is no reason they should not start working again.

You can drench an entire computer system in a bath of water, let it dry, and it should boot back up. This is providing you have let it sit long enough for there to no longer be any charge in it.

mp3s really survive the harshest beating but break down over simple, stupid stuff, it isnt logic!

My mom puts it upon herself to take random shit out of my closet and wash it.

Like one pair of pants, with the belt on, wallet and shuffle in the pockets, she puts in the wash, after she found them folded in my closet ready to wear the next day

i once dropped my ipod and the screen craked kinda.... it wasnt smashed, but it had black lines and shit all over it.... then one day i was flicking thru the pod and noticed that the screen was back to normal, it was real weird, theres no scratches or anything on the screen
