My ipod recently got wet in the terrential rain and it now wont turn on at all, theres is absolutely nothing appearing on the screen. My dock will not recognize it and it isnt recognised by my laptop.
I was just wondering if anyone had had the same problem and knows if it could possibly be fixed or if i would be needing to buy a new one.

I asked my Dad about this one, hes a trained technician.and he suggested Rebooting the system of your iPod, to do this you press the center button located in the middle of the wheel and the menu button, hold this position for approx 30 seconds. If that fails you could buy a new battery as the old one may be corrupted.
You can but a simple 2cm x 1cm battery at local electric stores or from eBay.
