I've heard that baking your iPod in the oven for like 10 minutes will dry out the water and make it work again, but I'm not sure so I wouldn't reccomend that unless you really have nothing else to go on. It's got something to do with how water evaporates at 100 degrees Celsius but silicon takes a much higher temp to melt. (silicon is what the insides of the Ipod are made of, supposedly).
ummm if you are brave just open the ipod, put a small fan blowing on it for about a day, and then try it, if it don't work means your main board is shorted out, Is a good time to buy a new ipod since last year models are been discounted, you can pick up an 80gb ipod classic for about $180.00 usd Look at the apple site click bellow. Good Luck
My current line of attack is to wrap up with kitchen tissue, and place it into a box with salt in it, can take up to 5 days,but i've been told the salt soaks the water up. I let u know the out come
I know this is over a month old but heat and salt can ruin electronics. Although sicicon melts at over 1000 F the insulation on your wires melts at a fairly low temp. A hair dryer is fine.
Hopefully, you did not let the salt touch your ipod. However, if the towel gets a bit damp the salt solution will get into your ipod killing it beyond repair. Bake rice in an oven at 375-400 F for an hour to get it real dry then put that and your wrapped ipod in an air tight contaner for a week at a time. Then repete the drying step with the rice.
I would expect a wash in a washing machine would kill it beyond repair but who knows, the older one were built right.
I suspect it's totally bricked... all that soap residue under the sm components. A phone repair station may be able to strip it down and soak it in their chemical bath.. then dry it properly.. Costs between £25 and £40....even if it doesn't work!!
Salt and heat and damp = goodbye. That must be the most ill informed suggestion I have ever seen.. and I have seen some crazy things in my time.
