You can pass. One minute your iPod is in your hand, the next it’s falling into a pool of liquid, hopefully nothing sugary.
The iPod has become synonymous with being “in sync” and “cool” to many people, mainly young teenagers and yuppies. iPods are still just electronic devices that you can carry in your pocket or purse. It’s a wonderful little gadget that replaced CDs, CD players, and bulky portable stereos. It has the capacity to store 25,000 photos, 15,000 songs or 150 hours of video in a case that is smaller than a pack of cigarettes.
iPods let you listen and watch your favorite music and videos via a 2.5″ color screen. For all its splendor and the best salute to technology, it’s still just an electronic device. When dropped in water, it can quickly become in a paper clip.
I can’t help but feel mystical every time I see a mature person with an iPod. That’s great! The iPod initially started as a high-end luxury item, but today it is no longer applied due to the wide range of models available in the market.
The iPod MacIntosh is small and handy, but it can store more than 15,000 songs, 25,000 photos, and 150 hours of video. It has become invaluable to many because of the amount of data it can hold. Unfortunately, accidents can happen at any time.
You probably use your iPod wherever you go: bedroom, bathroom, office, on the way to places, parties, the list goes on. It’s just another statistic waiting to happen: your iPod gets saturated with water.
When this happens, immediately remove your iPod from the water and turn it off. This is to protect you from a bolt of electricity going through you. Try to dry your unit as much as possible. Wrap it up and place it in a warm place to dry. It would be advisable to wait at least 48 hours before trying to turn it on again.
The first question is whether it will continue to work correctly. If not, the next questions would be if it is repairable and where you can take it to be repaired. In most cases, the answer to the first question is yes, the iPod can be fixed. It will only be a matter of replacing the damaged parts.
If a sad face appears or the folder appears when you turn it on, do not despair because all is not lost yet. I would recommend erasing the content and restoring the iPod.
To do this, there are a few simple steps to follow:
- Go to My Computer and click Desktop.
- Right-click on the iPod icon and select Format.
- Select FAT 32, then reboot.
If all that was damaged was the hard drive, then this should solve your problem. If not, you may need to have it looked at by a professional. Hopefully, your warranty is valid.
To keep your iPod from getting soaked, you can buy accessories that will keep it dry, such as waterproof cases, iPod belts, and headphones.
In the event that your iPod cannot be repaired, you can always recycle it and get a ten percent discount.
