dead ipod :(
my mums killed her ipod somehow - won't turn on without the charger and with it all you get is a big red 'X'
its a 5 month old 80Gb ipod classic - so it went back on the warranty - but they say it has some water damage (must be a tiny amount of water if thats
the case - like a single drop)
so whats worth trying next ?

if it 'could' be water then you have no case. If you're sure it's not then explain to them it's impossible with your
believable explanation and it will be repaired under warranty. Personally, if I suspect they are trying it on I just dig my heels in more and rarely
back down... we usually reach an amicable solution. Regularly repairs for free but rarely I pay for part of the repair.

a good plan is to ask for evidence... at least you'll know where you stand before you fight the fight... putting them down in the grass is a
bugger for water ingress!!!

Having you on. Without having it apart I can't believe they can tell (unless you can see water inside though the display!).. The CPU is
obviously working so I doubt it is water damaged..

Maybe the battery has one of those water-indicator stickers like you see on mobile phone batteries.
My phone battery's indicator went bright red - possibly due to its being involved in a 40-degree wash and rinse!
