^ ^ ^ This is what I have done. Presently buried in a plastic container full of dry rice, and I didn't try to switch it on. I will leave it there for a week or so (got other MP3s as an alternative anyway, but I particularly like the wee shuffle) and then see if it works. If not, I'll be £40 down for a replacement . I have lost about 4 blue tooth earpieces for phones in a similar manner over the last year; I tend to leave them in my work trousers .IF you drown a mobile device the first rule on retrieving it from the toilet pan, washer, slurry pit, river or ocean is don't try to power it up. Wipe off as much as you can with dry cloth and place the device into a sealed container with uncooked rice, best not to shake it up or bury it in the rice, on top is fine. Leave in a warm but not hot place, like a living room, for several days, then remove, clean and try to power up.
This may, just, save the unit, but if it doesn't at least you've had a few days to use up your foul language for the year!
Maybe in future check pockets before putting clothes in the wash?I have lost about 4 blue tooth earpieces for phones in a similar manner over the last year; I tend to leave them in my work trousers .
Success! After 5 days buried in rice, the I-pod shuffle seems non the worse for it's ordeal. The earphones haven't fared quite so well. Oddly, they do still work but at a much reduced volume. Thanks for the suggestion @Bobby Mhor and @Milkfloat .
It might well be a temporary revival! Time will tell, but after a similar experience with a blue tooth earpiece, it worked for a few weeks and then died completely.wow ! I would have bet against that. Fresh water, yes, but soap and hot water - well ...
