ok....i bought my nano 3 months ago without any protection plan or anything... .........so i wake up yesterday morning and im in a rush to go out...so i had my nano in a jacket with side pockets and went to the bathroom....of course my luck the nano falls into the toilet....i get it out of the toilet very quickly....it was in there for probably 2 seconds.....so frantically i start to try to turn it on and nothing is happened...finally after a while a complete white screen keeps coming on and off of the screen....eventually it stops doing that and it completely goes off...hasnt had any life since.....i called apple and they told me to leave it out to dry for a few days and it should come back on...its been about a day now and nothing yet.....anyone have any feedback to my problem?thanks

if you get an ipod wet the best thing to do is to keep it turned of untill your sure its dry. dont keep testing it. It might of short circuited.

Ya turning it on when wet is the worst thing you can do.

Call Apple, hope they didn't log that you got it wet and tell them it just doesn't work.

Don't ever turn on any electrical equipment that's wet. That's the worst thing you can possibly do.
