Harry:

You miss the entire point of being a techie geek.

After looking on the net, I am going to open her up and take out the
battery and basically soak it in methanol and then do the vacuum
chamber trick on it. If this works, I'm gonna put my son into business
fixing water dunked cell phones and Ipods.

I took the phone to work and soaked it in methanol (to soak up residual
water and remove salt) and then put it in a vacuum system to pump out
all the water as vapor. Cycled it several times. Then removed
corrosion from the battery terminals.
Amazing, it turns on. However, it seems to indicate that it cannot
read the memory card. The memory card contacts are clean. Could this
card have been wiped clean by immersion?

Now, on to the IPod. I had no idea how to remove its battery so it
will suffer more. So, what should I do with it?



Buy a new iPOD and trade your son in on a smarter model. :-)
