Some home remedies for various iPod accidents.

Wet iPod
If you decide you want to go swimming with your iPod Touch or you run it through the washing machine, try drying the device in a bag of rice. The rice is a natural dessiccant will pull the moisture out of the iPod and could possibly save its life.

This will work on any electronic device and if you are able to take the battery out of the device dry it seperately. If you haven’t already powered off the device do so and place it in a bowl or bag of rice and completely cover it in the rice for 24 hours. Do not try to charge the device. After a day or so the rice should have pulled all of the moisture out of the device. Power it on to see if it works again.
