Am I screwed? I was cleaning up after a party and didn't notice it had slipped from my breast pocket into the trash bag due to ambient noise. After a fretful search, I decided to open and go through the trash bag, and I found it covered in beer. Worse, some liquid was trapped between the LCD and the outer laminate.<br> <br> I called the nearby Apple store, and their stance was that liquid damage voids the warranty, so why not crack the sucker open to help dry it out better.<br> <br> Which I did. But I guess I'd like to know how likely screwed I am. It'd be nice to hear a couple anecdotes where iPods in similar situations worked again, but I certainly don't expect there to be a happy ending.<br> <br> Also, how much does it matter that it was beer?<br> <br> For now, it's drying by a heater and seems in decent-enough shape. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.15709 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 10:18:19 -0800 ipod ipodaccident Hat Maui
