Don't give up! Wait patiently for it to dry thoroughly. It's worth a try, right?

Oh fuckity. I just had random ipod fear this morning, as I put in the thingie that lets you play it in the car. That sux much. box is right, it is worth a try?

Washed? As in ... like, put it in the dishwasher, or soapy water or ???

I've accidentally put my cell phone in the washing machine, and it worked fine after about 24 hours to dry out. So hopefully what box sez will work out.

Also, I use iClean and a soft cloth to clean my iPod touch. Nothing makes you a compulsive hand-washer more than having a touch screen device.

washed as in: run thru the washing machine in a pants pocket and then tossed in the dryer. so, box, it is in fact dry, still wont turn on. YES I ARE DUM.

fuckadoodle dammit.

"Nothing makes you a compulsive hand-washer more than having a touch screen device."

I'll take your word for it. I am now proud owner of a Nano that's been transformed into a plain old NO.

oh and:

everyone else feel free to point and laugh. I'll just sit here over in the corner in my pointy hat drooling while they hand out the Idiot of the Month nominations. I hope I win. I mean it comes with a trophy and everything! Made out of thumbtacks!

the bright side? I am now a firm champion of such phrases as:

fuckadoodle dammit


and:

fuckitallabingbang


Bummer about your 'Pod, though.

cheers, LT. I'm most fond of crapshiteziddlydoodah myself, (owing to the long i in shite), being a former Ohio/Kentuckian and all. A right Stephen Foster sounding cuss.
posted by lonefrontranger 24 May | 12:32
lfr, you are a regular cussing Stephen Foster.

I have a set of four commemorative Stephen Foster glasses. Well, the husband does. He claims they are valuable. I claim they take up space in the cabinet. If you email me your address, I will send them to you as consolation. I'll tell him they went in the last yard sale. I am serious as crapshiteziddlydodhahday.

lol rainbaby!

email is lonefrontranger "up the holler" and if you can't figure that out then memail me.

tho i have no clue what i'd do with Stephen Foster glasses save drink mint juleps.

hmm.

Have you got household insurance for accidental damage? If so, check out whether the excess is more than the cost of a new iPod. Or, if you bought it on a credit card, see if it's (still) guaranteed under that.

But, yes, that sucks. Sorry.

Fill 'em with varying amounts of water, then play 'Swanee River.'

(lfr: I use an Otterbox for my iPod. It's hideously ugly, way too big and thick, and it seems overpriced, but it's also virtually indestructible.

Aw, I am so sorry lfr. I would be yelling (at myself) and throwing stuff right about now.

Geez super suckitude. I'm with the let it dry crowd and see what happens.
posted by chewatadistance 24 May | 18:57
I hate that. Not checking the pockets before the drop.

However, taking a que from the hypnotist Derren Brown, march up to the store with your receipt [you still have it, right] and say 'this isn't working, replace it for me, please'.
'I don't like purchasing products that just die after receiving loving attention and care'.

No matter how long it's been since you purchased it....

Also, it will look just like new, having been recently cleaned ;-)
