My iPod fell in the toilet at the gym today.
« on: February 07, 2016, 12:15:53 PM »
Fuck!  iPod nano.  Taking a piss before leaving and it was clipped to my sweatshirt.  Slips off and falls right in the fucking toilet.  Think it is ruined.

Any electronic device that get immersed in water:

  • Immediately remove the power/take the battery out
  • Rinse it out with distilled/deionnized water
  • let it dry for a couple of days
  • then power it up and see if it works

My blistex fell out of my pocket as I shook my pecker to hard for too long and fell in the bowl.

I feel your pain.

It may work again, but think it will only play "shitty music" from now on.

iPod nano, was a gift from someone who got something better and wasn't using it.  Had crack in screen.  Still, my jams!

Aren't you supposed to put it in a bag of rice to assist the drying process?

Some do, some say using those silicone gel packs work - I put the open port side in front of a dehumidifier for four days and that worked.

A buddy of mine emailed earlier and told me that his Iphone 6 fell in the toilet today and hit log.  Said it was only submerged in water for about a second before he fished it out with his hand.  That was a quick response considering it dive bombed a turd.  I think i would have said "fcuk it", ate my losses and looked for a more sanitary way to retrieve it, but that's me.  Shitty way to lose (teehee) $600-$700 Canadian (so about $20US).  In any case, he's giving it the dry rice treatment now.

And iTunes is ideal for pulling your hair out.



Baffling how such an unintuitive software is "tolerated" for lack of a better term, by society at large. Any basic USB-driven player that can be loaded/unloaded like a flash drive is instantly superior to any iPod.

This worked for my samsung s4. Total toilet immersion. Advice i heard was also do NOT take out battery. The earphones did not work for a while but they came back and it is still my backup phone.

I put phone in a lunchbox of rice. And yes, i used the rice for cooking. Boiled water is ok.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) I was standing taking a piss into a clean bowl, so no log.  Either your friend is a disgusting mutherfucker standing pissing in a toilet prowl with a log in it or he was sitting and it hit his own shit.  Either was I'd brick it, it will NEVER not smell of shit even if it is only psychic stink.

Wrong. Check out the AT&T Flashpac, which predated the iPod by several years. One of many..

My mishap was like a comical sketch. I took phone out as going for a piss and threw phone as if handing to a running back in a play. But the running back was  a toilet bowl and it sat there. Also hapened my blackberry when kid was 2 and thought it would be funny to throw my phone in toilet.
