Talk to Apple representatives, and see if you are still covered under warranty. Hope you got an extended one!
If you aren't...well, better off just buying a new or refurbished one from Apple.

Sorry to hear that... You may still get your iPod replaced, but you will have to lie. Tell them that it just stopped working, there is no cosmetic damage, and the iPod has been kept in good condition. When they inspect it, they will see that it doesn't work. They do not actually open it up and test the internal functions. They will conclude that it was a power surge and they will send you a new one. But don't quote me on this one...

DON'T WORRY..... the nano is expected to be used in all weather conditions....example, directly from outdoors at minus temperature to indoors in plus temperature....a situation that can create CONDENSATION... I realize your nano got drenched but, dont worry.... all you have to do is let it dry out. ...and then re-connect it to your Computer to charge.
these are some ways that have been successful in drying out a wet unit....
1) turn it over so the scroll wheel is face down on a towel for at least 48 hours and then re-check it for life
2) place it near a heater vent to dry out
3) use a hairdryer on LOW LOW heat to dry it out
As soon as it is completely "dryed out" inside, it should work fine.... again, don't worry... IT WILL RISE AGAIN!! lol
Hope that helps!

Nope, you're screwed. Nice job putting it through the washer.

yes, replace the LCD, hard drive battery and touch wheel. However by the time you do that you may as well just replace the whole unit.
