My mum did the kindest thing of introducing Mr. Ipod shuffle to Mr. Washing Machine today.
S**t.

EDIT: My ex71's were plugged in, so they are gone for ever too

 

[shplorgh]

Is it ok?

 

[discord]

........

ouch

 

[Csidinim]

Dont turn it on or use it. Flush it with clean sterile water to flood out the detergents. Let it air dry for about a week, then turn on the power. It may still work if you haven't tried to use it yet.

Too late. My mum somehow didn't know if she put it in the washine machine or not, so i switched it on to find out.
Claim insurance and get a nano, anyone?

I have some white ones unfortunately, cos they look nice, anyway my Zen headphone jack shrinks if I try to use them on it.

 

[skitzo]

itll still work.

 

[dommica]

It really is beyond working... it's about twice as heavy from the water inside, and you can hear water sploshing if you shake it

. Yeah they did kinda suck, but my e2c's don't fit properly so they r goin on ebay, and i'm gunna the the sharp md33's instead.

that sucks. I would think that it would be rare for a mp3 player to work after goin through that.

Well at this point you have nothing to lose, so I would open it up and gently hairdry it.

 

[dommica]

How would i go about opening up a shuffle without completely destroying it?

 

[jefemeister]

There's a bit of this going around lately. This guy took out his Zen earlier today: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=139840

Sorry to hear about the shuffle, but try rinsing it and leaving it to dry for a week or so before completely writing it off

/U. - who dropped his watch today from about 4ft. height coming in to work today... Picked it up and noted that it had stopped

Swears loudly and metally counts off the money required to buy or replace broken watch. Swears even more and puts damaged watch on shoulder bag. 5 hours later, picks up bag without noticing watch first. Watch is once again dropped from 4 ft height

Picks up watch again (swears first this time), but then notices that watch is now running again

Morale: Don't give up just yet
