Well basically I was at a lake and was fishing so I decided to go out into the water to cast. I completely forgot that my ipod was in my left pants pocket by the time I got out to waist high water.
I went back to shore to check out how badly damaged it was and at first it was Really slow but still semi functional. I could still play music but at random parts of the song the volume would drop and then get higher in other parts.
Now, it's a black screen but you can still see the front screen of the ipod where you can go to artists, games, etc. You can also still hear it click when you push any button on the pad but it doesn't do Shit.
Anyone had experience with a water damaged ipod before? I heard you can put it in the refrigerator to help bring out the moisture but I'm not too sure. Right now it's just sitting on my window seal with the screen facing down. HALP!

Turn it off, get the battery out and cover it in rice. I'm not kidding, the rice sucks the moisture out. Put a quarter inch of rice in a bowl, put the ipod on it and completely cover it in more rice and leave it like that a couple days.
Yeah I got that answer from MJ on zoklet. I was going to do that and probabl still will but I got pissed off at taking it apart because the screws are SO TINY.
Electronics are weird in that way. I know someone who went swimming with their phone (woman :facepalm:) and after a couple of days of it not working or working half-assed, it just started working like normal again.
Nearly every wet device, (except cameras/optics) can be fixed via jerky dehydrators.

I've actually heard of doing that.
I've heard of (and used successfully) putting a dead hard drive in the the freezer overnight as a way to coax out a little more life from it.
I don't see how it would fix an iPod that was soaked in water as it gets into everything, and it expands when frozen which I would think could cause further damage to the internal components.
Removed the battery, threw it in some rice and left it on the radiator next to a window with sunlight coming through. Worked fine in the morning!
Same with phones - worked every time.

Here's another thing to try: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=574590
Works on security coded car stereos, place it in the freezer and it knocks out the security code.
It fucks the display though:(, but kills the code:D.
SERIOUSLY, DON'T TRY TURNING IT ON! FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE HERE!
