He said to NOT turn on the item for a min. of 3 days. Any moisture inside can arch the electronic item and burn up the insides. If you let it dry completly first it will likely work just fine.

There's no excuse in my household though, everyone's old enough to check their own pockets before tossing items in the laundry. I think after the scare of having the iPod washed, this will no longer be an issue and pants pockets will be checked without thinking ;). At least I hope!

Like you, we put the device wherever it will dry out the fastest, and hope for the best. So far so good. You'd think I would now check all pockets? Heh, not a chance. That would be 98 pockets a week!

Still works perfectly but we replaced it thinking the microphone didn't work. Replacement went into the toilet and then my son washed it because it had been in the toilet. We opened it up and left it somewhere warm for a couple of days and now working perfectly. At our house it was a mobile phone.

After drying completely it was good as new also! However, it did not survive having a 45-lb. dumbbell dropped on it. An mp3 player went thru the washing machine at our house too.
