IPod Nano or any IPod ?

[ukwdwnut]

can they be fixed at all when the screen goes blank but music still plays?
reason being mikeys nano went for a spin in the washing machine the weekend

Apple do out of warranty replacement for less than the price of buying a new one if he takes it into the apple store :yes: The other option is to send it away but depending on which nano it is it's never usually worth the cost when compared to buying a new iPod.

ok thx josh

Here's the price tariff;
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#uk)

They are single-sealed units so they always replace them on the spot.

i think its a 5th gen 8gb nano replacement 99 quid....it still plays music but the screen is blank

62 quid in that tariff list

Try burying it in a bag of uncooked rice for at least two or three days, before doing anything else with it.

My phone that went swimming in the toilet was rescued with that technique. :yes:

Can't hurt to try!

cool so the rice sucks the moisture out, good thinking batman :D

If it's been turned on and used since though I'd say the damage was pretty much done. No harm in trying though.

it still plays the music you just cant see anything on the screen...i think it needs filing under B

[josh.p.]

Well screens are generally more sensitive than other parts when it comes to water damage (at least in my experience) :yes: Hopefully you'll get a replacement :)

[ukwdwnut]

so he would have to take it to an apple store?

ive not seen one around here anywhere, will look on the apple site and find out where the closest one is
