You know how sometimes companies who sell electronics and give them a good warranty or guarantee they do little things so that if whatever you come in needing fixed was caused by accidental damage done by you, instead of a hardware failure they can make you pay? Like for this example, cell phones that you have dropped in a puddle will show it with a little sticker that changes colors, usually next to the battery cover.
Well the iPhone and iPod Touch have those too, its just a lot harder to find unless you know where it is. Look down your headphone jack on either of those devices, and at the bottom of that well, you’ll see the sticker.
I am sure there are ways to circumvent it, but at the same time, its kind of crappy of them to put it in a place where a single drop of rain could cause it to change, but not cause any damage to the rest of the phone. Maybe if they hadn’t sealed the rest of the phone away from easy access they could have put it somewhere more practical. Regardless, you now know you can’t play off that canoe trip you took with your iPhone as a hardware malfunction, so don’t try it.

so i dropped my ipod on the floor, and it stumbled into the dogs water dish. magic i know. there was about an inch or less of water and was in there for maybe 2 seconds, it worked for about an hour or 40 minutes and then the shut off option started to show up and go away, and then the volume would go up all the way until i got onto the home screen then it was alright. but the screen would repeatidly shut off. its now sitting in a ziplock bag of rice.
is anyone sure this will work.

Well I would suggest shipping it off to apple and playing it off as hardware failure. when they send it back saying it has water damage call them again and tell them that it wasnt that way when it left. Make sure to tell them that the paper in the bottom of the headphone jack was definatly white when it left. Dont get mad, be calm and collected with a good argument on your side. Worked for me. Ipod died while cleaning screen. They reffered me to an apple ipod touch specialist who then sold me the apple care protection warrenty for $80 and put in the notes that i was to recieve a brand new touch. FYI dont put it under the tap!!!
