hey guy i was gone for the weekend and my little bro got my ipod touch and dropped it into the toilet i stuck it in a bowl of rice and its been sittin for two days but im to scared to turn in on. is there any way to open it without the suction cup thing to take the screen off and get to the battery and make sure its all dry or is there somthin else i should do? thanks, Sam

Silica gel or rice and stick it next to a heater.... wait 5 more days to be safe.

yeah try to send it in and maybe they will consider repairing it.

There might be water inside your touchscreen.... idk it could be corrosion crossing over a connection.

Check the water marker in the dock connector too. Just cause the headphone one isn't pink doesn't mean the dock connector one isn't...
