Kavitha, it seems this happens a lot. Here is my answer to the same question from a different person "The first step you should do is to disassemble your iPod. Use this guide to help you out. After that clean the iPod thouroughly by following this general guide. use a high grade isopropyl alcohol. Once you are sure the logic board, connectors (do not forget the dock connector), and cables are clean replace the battery. You can get it at places like this. Once you have all this accomplished, reevaluate for any residual (if any ) damage. Remember that this model is a PITA to work on but not impossible to fix. Hope this helps good luck.

oh, how terrible it heard! Be careful in the future. Anyway, you need to wait and see whether it still works or not for a few days. I can say maybe it still works well after several days' drying. You can put it into rice to have a dry, then leave it alone in a clean and dry place. Several days later, restart it and check it.

If it still cannot work, maybe you can worry about the data most. But i will say, if you backed it up before accident happens, you can got all the data back from the backup. Here is a professional tool that extract data from iTunes backup without iPod or other iOS devices.

I have the same problem, but when I connect my iPod 6th generation to my Macbook pro I can listen the music content through the iTunes. I just put the device into rice and will see what happen during the next few days.

If it works through the iTunes on my computer, there is a change that the problem might be solved ................... what do you think?
