Hello there.
Just today I was outside and had my iPod Touch in my pocket while walking somewhere in the rain.
At some point, unbeknownst to me, my iPod fell from my pocket and onto the street. I never realized it, and walked away.
When I got to my destination I realized my ipod was gone and rushed to retrace my steps and find it.
My friend found it about 15 minutes later, laying face down in the direct middle of the road (on the double yellow lines). He claimed he found it lying face down.
There were some good scratches on the rubber case that surrounded the back, but no damages to the screen. It may or may not have been struck by any vehicles..the scratches on the case seem to go in a vertical fashion, and I'm not sure the fall was quite enough to do something like that. I did, however, get the white screen of death.
I quickly went to a supermarket to buy rice, and that's where my ipod is now: covered in a bag of rice in a ziplock bag.
I'm hoping this solves the problem, but if it doesn't, are there any solutions outside of buying a new one? I've had it for less than a year, so it should still be on warranty. I've also tried holding the home button and power button to no avail. I figured I would try that again after it sits in the rice for about a day.
Thank you in advance for the help.
EDIT: I posted this in Touch Discussion because I was unaware there was a hardware forum/space for this kind of problem. I only saw it after I registered. Please excuse my error.
