Because I just did it. The back light doest work and the speaker is broke, but it does play music, just cant see the song on the screen. It was in my pants pocket in the machine, then the dryer after.

Do you think apple will fix it? Can it be fixed?

sounds like you need a new screen, probably would cost as much to repair it as it costs to buy a new one. Those things are real cheap now.

Throw it in a bowl full of rice for a week, it might dry out just fine.

the rice thing like everyone said and put said bag of rice in a really dry place - once all the moisture is yanked out of it, it may work again...







but you're probably f**ked.

It spent at least an hour in the dryer, and a few days in a pocket in a suitcase before it was discovered

Now you have one of the new Nano's that works like an old one... No screen, just music. Load it up with only your favorite songs and set it to shuffle.

Wrap the ipod in seaweed and rice
See who tries to eat it.

Mine is for bike and running, but it wound up in the washer.

Can i just bring it to an apple store and ask for a warranty claim? And yes I have no morale problem to lying to them about how it broke
