I dropped my ipod touch in water will it be better if I dont put in the cha


Question Posted Tuesday August 31 2010, 5:50 pm

I dropped my ipod touch in water will it be better if I dont put in the charger for a while?
I dropped my ipod in water in school and soon as I dropped it I put it under the dryer. It was still on, put it kept freezing,turning on and off, and the apps kept coming on and off but the ipod was on. when I tap something, something else will come up. Its been 3 hours since I dropped it in water. I don't wanna tell my mom because this is the 3rd ipod that's been dropped in water. Its dead now because the battery was low when I dropped it and it was still working. and I don't know if it works now.Now its dead. It still works as far as I know, its not like the last 2 Ipod I had when I dropped them in water they wouldn't come back on. should I wait to charge it? Will it work better if I dry it or let it sit a few days?

Ive tried a bowl of rice and it didnt work. The first ipod that was dropped in water my nephew did it. the second time I dropped it on accident.

Do not connect your device to a charger!
Don't even try to turn it on! Doing so while there is still water inside it can short it out.

You have to keep it in a bowl of rice for much longer than three hours for all the water to be removed from the device. Leave it in there for a few days until you see no more condensation behind the camera lens and you can be sure there's no water left inside.
Please don't try to turn it on or plug it into anything. I recently dropped my iPhone 3G into a sinkful of hot, soapy water and I didn't turn it on or plug it into anything, even though it suddenly said there was no battery life left. I kept it in a bowl of rice for a week, just to be safe, and today it works just as well as the day it was delivered to my doorstep.

Good luck with your iTouch.
