MethodShop.com offers free iPod tech support online. Every once in awhile we'll get a really good question like this one....
"I know this was stupid of me, but i never thought it could happen. About 3 days ago, i was listening to my ipod (1st gen, 5gb) whilst brushing my teeth. I held the ipod and was selecting a song to put on, however if fell from my hand, and just happened to land into the toilet. I grabbed it out of there as soon as i could, which was about 1 second. i immediately dried it with a towel, but also shook it alot to get water from the inside out of it. It wasnt working, but i pressed reset (pause and menu together) and there was a very faint low battery sign. I plugged it in for recharge but there was no response, and i continued to try and get it working but to no avail..." ~ hsloyal
