Ipod hard drive question?

Well it depends. If you tried turning it on to see if it works, after the water got in it, then you may have a problem. When the water gets inside, it basically turns it off. So, once you turn it on, the circuits start coming on and the water just screws it up. If you didn't turn it on now, you should dry it as much as you can with a cloth, tap it on the cloth a few times to get some water out, and put it in a bowl of rice. Leave it in for a few days, charge it up some and see if it works. About the hard drive now, if you happened to turn it on after it got wet, then your kind of out of luck because it may be fried. Your probably just going to have to legally buy all your songs back or download them from limewire/frostwire. If you want it to be repaired, there is a company called iresq that basically replaces the messed up parts in your ipod and buys you new ones. Prices will vary, they go based on how bad in shape you devise is. Lastly, if this is your iTouch or iPhone you could also try one more thing(caution, it is illegal and if done incorrectly, it will void your warranty). If you look in the head phone jack(you may need a flashlight), there will be a small patch called the water sensor. It will show a thin red line across it, and what you want to do is cover it up. You will take a small piece of paper and push it down the head phone jack to cover up that red line. Now after this, if you have done it correctly and it is covered up nice and well, send it to apple to get a replacement. DO NOT say it got damaged from water, just make up a phony lie, saying that it just wouldn't work after you charged it one night. Hope this all help =). Watch each of the videos first and carefully before you do anything to your device.
