I just washed my iPod.
it turns out they don't like that one bit, and thus I say
fuckity fuckity fucktwatdiddlycrap fuckitallabingbang shitgoddammitall fuckatrucka fucknoodles dammitalltohellandgone crapshiteziddlydoodah AND
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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....
