i accidentally forgot to take my ipod nano out of my pocket when i put my pants to wash.. now it doesnt work any longer

when i pug it into the computer, it just keeps showing the apple boot screen then restarts like very 2 seconds.

can i get it fixed or do u think my ipod is useless already.

btw... can i claim warranty by saying that it broke by itself?? my nano is slightly less than a year old.

damn sad man

wow i thought so keng ipod nano can become washing machine
but it is around the same price for one

woops...typo...hehe

I like your title "Ipod nano is washing machine"


Anyway you should make sure you ipod is completely dry first before you power on, Now i think the board already short circuit. good luck

oh...aiyo...i let it dry since 8am today...

haiz...what an expensive mistake...

Goodluck, you can try sending it back, normally they will honor the warranty claim and you get a working replacement.

lets hope they do so.

the warranty is for one year right??

they can tell when i bought my ipod from the serial number on the back right?? coz i cant find the receipt

yes, they will use the serial number to varified the warranty.

you can also check it out at www.apple.com/support

@satish87,
Your iPod Nano so dirty you had to give it a wash, with bonus tumble and spin dry too? *kEKekekek*

There's no harm taking it back for warranty claims but before you do that, please make sure the inside's completely dry - otherwise you'll have to come up with an excuse on the spot. If you can't get it 100% dried, then the little parts which are damp, u probably can get away with excuses such as, I got caught in the rain while I was out jogging, etc etc - just don't tell them it went through an entire full wash! Or, if u decide to, tell them AFTER u walk out with a brand new replacement *g*

Good Luck and be more cautious next time round ya?

Sometimes having a small gadget can be a small problem... I am now more careful now reading another careless case like this... But still, I read somewhere else that you will get your warranty honoured if the iPod is dry and you can say don't know what happened to it.

Anyway, if you came across a success, tell us here and we'll appreciate it. Thanks!

sigh... i just checked... my ipod no longer under warranty... aiyo.. time fly so fast.. i thought hvnt reach one year..

will try it again tmr to see if it works... hopefully it does..

or else i really dono what to do...

If you Google up, some iPods do work after completely running dry.

Since that your iPod's warranty is over, i suggest you take it apart so that it dries easier. Good luck !

yea.. i checked also..

hopefully it works...

but i am not gona open it.. maybe cause more problems since i hvnt got a clue how to open it.

haiz... if only i hvnt been so careless...

@satish87,
Try to google and learn how to open it - the faster u can dry the iPod, the better it is for u. Also, don't switch anything on until it's completely dry - perhaps try using a hairdryer or something? Check how many days you'll need cause 1 night is definitely NOT gonna be sufficient.

Good Luck!

say good bye to your ipod, my friend also had same sad sotory as you, and his ipod now RIP

YAY!!

MY IPOD IS ALIVE!!!

WHAHAH... just tested it... it still works..

so happy!! but got one problem... it keeps turning itself on automatically a few min after i off it. other than that got no other problem.. so i guess hv 2 charge it everyday.

tried reformatting it but still the same

wait it dry more, then should ok

lolz...if still got problem maybe u can bring to apple centre and see whether can have anyway to solve it a not...maybe they will charge u a bit but at least can get it repaired...juz my 2 cents..hehe...

yea was planning to send it over to let them have a look..

cant OFF the ipod hope if fixes itself

Will you just leave it alone for say a week before turning it on again. Let it DRY completely 1st if you don't want to fry any components....
