Ipod In Washing Machine!!

Options
Hi

My dd has left her ipod in her jeans pocket and has now come out freshly washed!!

I have told her not to turn it on. Any idea if it is likely to be totally kna**ered??


Many thanks

Sue

    more than likely , shake out as much water as possible , put somewhere warm to dry for a few days, then cross fingers and turn on

    Probably knackered! Sounds weird but you'd have a better chance washing it in clear water!

    I know it's probably been through the rinse cycle, but any salt left in the unit will be much more damaging than the water would be.

    As the water will dry , but the salt will create unwanted circuits!

    Accidental cover does cover this sort of thing - check your policy.
