Last night I cleaned my ipod touch's screen. For about 15 mins after the cleaning it worked fine. Suddenly the game I was played crashed and the lock screen started flashing. I turned it off immediately. I turned it on about 5 mins later and then the picture of the apple came up for a second and then it crashed. I left it alone all night what should I do.

Remove all peripherals from the device:



Take the case off, headphones and any other items that might be attached to your iPod.



Use a vacuum:



Take then handheld part of a vacuum cleaner and run it around the device. Try to get as much of the water out of it as possible. DO NOT use an item like a blow dryer. That will only force air into other areas of your iPod and may cause more damage.



Leave the device in a well ventilated area:



Place the device face up in an area where the water will evaporate out of it. What I like to do is put it in front of a low running fan. Leave it there for at least 3 days, longer if it’s really saturated.





ALTHOUGH this probably won't work since it was last night. So try this:



Take it apart – You better know what you’re doing to do this, because you can ruin your iPod and will void your warranty, but if you’re handy with electronics, consider taking your iPod apart to dry out the wet parts. In this situation, some people use the hair dryer, others like to separate the parts and leave them in bags of dry rice for a day or two and then re-assemble the device.

Water damage never ever clean a screen with water if you do put like no water on a cloth and wipe it turn it on again and keep it in some heat for a few min

You broke it. Never clean the screen with water or Other cleaning products that are wet. Only with a normal screen cleaner (usually cloths)



Hopefully you have a warranty

I think you should take it to an apple store for them to have a look at in case it just died, unless you had it on for ages then in that case it just overheated then it probs would just turn off on you. Unless you used water or anything to clean the screen then it broke, use a glasses cleaner they work a miricle, if you think it overheated have another go at turning it on if not take it to be fixed or what not or just someone to have a look at it, that what id do. hope i helped ^^

with any luck you probably did not get water injury to that particular area of the iPod. yet while so think approximately to have it fastened, cope with it, or some thing of the form. once you're fortunate it incredibly is going to progressively restoration itself. yet notably not likely. you could decide what area the quantity administration is and fasten it your self. looking the factors on Ebay, looking up movies on YouTube on a thank you to restoration them. the internet is a superb place, use it!
