Try drying it out. But water & electronics don't mix.  If it was submerged… chances of saving it are slim. Try drying it out. But water & electronics don’t mix.

(Sorry, wouldn't take it to school.)  I keep an extra trash bag in my backpack for this very reason. When it starts to rain I make sure my electronics are wrapped up in plastic and inside my backpack just in case. If it didn’t get soaked and you’ve left it off you might be OK.

We put my son's Itouch in the house away from all the swimming children, but it somehow got water dribbled on it, and wouldn't power up. I'm going to leave it in the rice for a few days. This method actually worked on my dad's cell phone a couple months ago. He dropped his in a lake while fishing. It didn't get put into the rice until later that night, but now works fine. I am hoping for the same results. I don't think the warranty cover water. Please tell me if I'm wrong. I am trying the dry rice right now.
