Do i-pod shuffles launder well?

[Brandane]

The reason I am asking is that I am waiting for a wash cycle to end so that I can rescue this:

Sadly I think it's days are over. I also have a feeling I am going to find a pair of Sony earphones in amongst the washing too. Who's a silly boy then?

I wrecked one once the same way..
don't attempt to switch it on, into a bag of dry rice for a week and maybe
oops gently dab it dry first

You will be surprised what can last. Best thing is do not try and turn it on until it has been well and truly dried out. I would suggest 3 days in a bowl of rice inside an airing cupboard. I suspect it is dead though. Headphones will probably be ok, but again, dry them before you try them.

I'm not hopeful unfortunately!

This.

No.1 son's iPod touch survived a similar incident - don't try to switch it on for at least a week. His came back to life after a fortnight in the rice.

a colleague tells a similar tale - left the item in box of rice in the sun by the wundoe for a couple of weeks. I-phone did then work. The chemicals in soap powder won't have helped, but worth a go

You'll be restricted to listening to Handel's Water Music, though

If he's got any of that rap nonsense with naughty words in it it should at least get rid of those.

What about Radio Waves by Roger Waters... that'll help!

 

[Levo-Lon]

Probably better than a Nokia phone...they do look clean after,so there is a plus...
