My iPod sank in water and need to fix it

Depending on your model, this may or may not be repairable. Seeing as how you haven’t given us any details on your device, I will just post general recommendations that I usually post for iPhones. If you have an iPod Touch, it will be very similar. If you have a nano or a classic, you will have different issues to deal with. You can find repair guides for iPods here.

The proper way treat a wet device is to do the following:

• Open your phone and remove the logic board
• Inspect the logic board, especially around the connectors and look for corrosion.
• Inspect both sides of the board.
• Put your board in a container with >90% isopropyl alcohol and let it sit for a while. If the battery is soldered to the board, just soak the board, not the battery or it’s connections.
• Use a soft brush, like a toothbrush and lightly brush away any corrosion you see.
• Rinse in alcohol and repeat.
• Let it air dry for a day.
• Re-assemble and hope for the best.
