Since ipod has no user servicable parts and the back will not come off without a service tech involved there probably is not alot you can do. You can leave it alone for several days, allowing it to dryout and maybe it will work. I really doubt it though. They do ok in the dryer but that washer will kill them for sure. I am surprised it works at all. Good luck.

I had washed my first daughters i pod and it was my fault because i used it that day and
i left it in my sweatshirt pocket. I never told her and i dried it with the hair dryer and
it worked but on its own terms. She told me mom dont worry they get old eventually!!!
I finally confessed and this happend 2 yrs ago., She got a new one and the old one worked
great and we gave it to a friend.
Now i just washed my other daughters ipod but her fault because she threw it accidently
into the washer !!! I put it in a bowl of rice for 2-3 days and it works great but only on the
charger not on its own when disconnected!!! What did you do eventually??? Should the
geek squad look at it??? I feel like an idiot!!! My daughter is so devastated!!! Not like
we can afford another one!!!
thanks
