My aunt acidentally left her iPod shuffle in her jeans and it went through the washer and dryer. Anyone know of any remedies to make it work again? Lol very long shot, but eh, worth a shot. Thanks in advance.

Stick it in a bag of uncooked rice and don't power it on for a few days.

Interesting, alright we'll give that a try, thanks.

I did it with my wife's phone after it sat in the u-bend of a toilet for 2 hours. I dropped it in a bag of uncooked rice (which supposedly absorbs the water out of the phone)...and waited 2 days. Low and behold, her phone came back to life!
