I need some help with my iPod. Its an 80 GB classic. I set it in my cup holder in my car, while it was plugged into my FM transmitter/charger, but I had turned the volume all the way down. Well, apparently a bottle of water I had in the holder earlier had leaked, and I can assume that my iPod got wet. I didnt notice what was going on until I got home and unplugged it. Usually when I pull it out, the screen lights up and I have to manually turn it off. The screen showed that it was locked, but the switch was in the off position. I toggle it a few times, but nothing happened. I held the center button and the menu button at the same time, and I held the center button and the play button at the same time. Nothing. I held the two side buttons at the same time. I put the iPod in front of my heater, and even tried to suck some of the moisture out.
Now it is just showing the 'screen saver' timer and the locked symbol. Its still on and playing, but I cant unlock it. I just bought a bag of rice, because a friend told me a while back that if you drop your phone in the toilet, putting it in rice will soak up all the water and it will work good-as-new. Besides that, I dont know what to do.
I dont know if its under warranty, because I had the back engraved. I am going to check later tonight though. In the meantime, any suggestions on what to do to fix my 7 month old iPod?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
