Wet iPod

update:

a few days after i put the ipod in rice, my son took it upon himself (he confessed this on sunday when he saw that i was inspecting it for progress)to remove it and see what progress had been made.....

he discovered that it had been set to the 'hold' position...assumed I had done this by accident, and changed it to unlocked.....then he tried to tun it on again.......said it made a 'weird' sound...like when he turns the guitar amp on.......and then did it nothing, so he put it back.....

sigh. I put it back in the rice for another week.

It still has a bit of condensation under the glass, but, with nothing to lose, tonight i decided to plug it into the charger again and see if it would do anything.

lo and behold.....the little white apple appeared! It kept blinking off and coming back, so I hit the reset combo of (O) and > and then it switched over to 'OK to disconnect' but the little charging icon is blinking! I'll see if it works in the morning, i guess!

woo hoo, i hope!
