...so my new shuffle kinda fell into water while it was playing and it's not even turning on...and i heard that if you dip it in alcohol, it'll work again...is this true? not just for a shuffle but any electronic that fell in water..you dip it in alcohol..will it work? i'm not sure..did anyone try this? or have heard that it does work?



the alcohol things been proven apparently..i haven't seen it but my friend saw it and stuff...

umm leave it somewhere to dry for a while. see if the components havent shorted themselves to death. my dads cell phone took a dip into the pacific ocean and came back to life like a few days later.. and it still works today.. 3 years later... though the battery is old.

You shouldn't dip it into another liquid after it fell in water.
Just leave it out to dry.

if you didnt turn on your shuffle yet, i would have advised
NOT to turn on the electronic. wait for it to completely dry and then try.
im not sure of alcohol thing :/

[awdark]

alcohol thing is used in small amounts on qtips to clean off residue that remains like if you spilled coke on it, it will be all sticky... use alcohol then.

But for you... shuffles are frikkin hard to take apart, so just swing it a few times to try to get some water out then just put it aside to dry... and give it lots of time. Hard since the battery is in it... but lets be hopeful.

I busted my PSP like that too and it never came back to life T_____T Ended up getting another one

ouch

Why would you dip into another liquid?

Let it dry out and pray

[[[Fallen--Star]]]

just try to shake off some of the water off, &then leave it out to dry.

[miyaviyo]

dip a shuffle in an alcohol? x__X overkill!

my mp3 player fell into water...i resurrected it for a few days, but then it died again =/ i heard about the alcohol thing but i was really iffy about it...how does more liquid help?? o_O i just ended up blow drying mine to life...i have to get a new one now though ;;;

EEEEK! i just dropped my phone (sony ericsson W550i) in the sick while i was washing my hands. I dried it off and it still works but the screen is really dark. It won't brighten up! T___T

[umademesmyle]

i wouldn't recommend dipping it in alcohol.. try to google how to take out the battery and blow dry it! or you could just try to let it air dry for a while? :\ i dropped my camera into water (fresh water) and i blow dried it and now it works i heard some people recommend putting it in your oven (after the battery is removed of course) to dry it off.. but i'm not sure.. you might have to look some more into that..

[l0ki]

if you've already tried to turn it on, I'm pretty sure you should buy a new shuffle since attempting to power the device will short circuit it and mess it up beyond repair

[TrainDriver]

does the hairdryer method work?

[yaboo]

wow... i have a similar problem... my gma threw my camera in the washing machine.................... D: i just got it too...
im planning to return it :X
