Unfortunately I don't think Apple will repair water-damaged iPods. There is this little adhesive thing inside that detects if the iPod has been immersed in water.

But...you can always try to see if they'll repair it.

Or you could let it sit for awhile with it off and let it dry out and see if it'll work.

Let it sit for a while and dry out, it may come back to life. The iPod of a friend of mine accidentally fell into the pool. He retrieved it right away and after it had dried out it worked again. Even tho' the iPods are NOT waterproof , they're pretty tightly sealed except for those ports etc, and it takes a while for water to seep in. If it doesn't come back to life, I'm afraid your iPod has had it. Apple will not repair it and the repairs are pretty costly!

I'm sorry to hear that - not the best way to sync your ipod frown. I hope it recovers, given long enough to dry out.

Be patient! Let it dry out for a few hours....perhaps even overnight! Some of the contacts may still be wet. When you 'fished' it out of the water, was there water leaking out of it?

I agree...let it sit for at least overnight. The longer the better.

That's good. Let it dry out completely!
(P.S.: Pro'lly shouldn't have tried to 'restore' already....)
