[QUOTE="cheese-g-romit, post: 998609, member: 99746"] So I have a 8GB purple iPod nano (not the brand new ones, the one before that without the video camera) The other day I cleverly dropped it down into the (clean) toilet while it was turned on. I obviously panicked, but then dried it with a towel, and turned it off. I left it near a radiator for about 10 minutes and turned it back on - apparently I wasn't supposed to do this because it can short? ;D Buttt I saw there was a puddle of water under the screen, oh dear. So I buried my iPod deep in a bowl of dry rice (thankyou ASDA smartprice rice!), for two days. I got it out, and was scared at first because it wouldn't turn on - apparently it had a dead battery, so now it's fully charged and alive! I'm amazed and impressed. I thought I'd post this to definitely recommend the rice thing if you damage your iPod with water - it worked for me! Happy :D seems that my iPod is waterproof! [/QUOTE]
