iPod = In the washing machine
Lucking Fiberty

Hi.

I was silly enough today to forget that I had put my iPod Nano in my trouser pocket and straight into the washing machine.

Looked everywhere for it and finally found it in the drum of the machine.

Will it dry out or is it a wipe off for me?

Thanks*

1) Do not switch it on.

2) Put it somewhere warm for several days to dry out - airing cupboard, boiler cupboard etc...

The worst thing you can do is switch it on!

If in a few days (I'd give it 3 or 4 to be safe) pressing buttons doesn't work - it's dead. You will be better off buying a new one.

I can't even switch it on - I did try before but it didn't come on.

Thanks for that though.

The iPod is always 'on' (unless it's not been used for 3 days, when it goes into 'deep sleep' mode).

I don't think there's any chance it will survive, detergents won't do any favours to the PCB inside.
