and the spin cycle at that. yes folks it did. i am absolutely amazed to say the least. okay, we were here before. the ipod came out after the spin cycle after everything had completed. the original film was still on the face of the nano, thankfully, and probably saved the whole deal.
we placed it on the top of a heating vent and let it sit overnight. in the morning i hooked it up to my mac and sure as shit, it mounted and was recognized in itunes. it didn’t even lose any details in the ipod info screen.
i was seriously amazed. we both had thought this was a lost cause, but somehow this actually worked.
the final test was to see if it would play a track and whether or not it had audio still (seeing as how the audio jack took a bunch of water to it). i transferred a track from dropkick murphys to it and fired it up. goddamn if it didn’t work. we were jamming out to music afterall. there was honestly no adverse side effects. i am not lying, there were no effects.
i have to say this was a crazy experience. at under $200 the idea is that the ipod is technically almost disposable should something happen to it. however it’s nice to see that some luck and ‘designed by apple in california, assembled in china’ quality actually saved us. the scoreboard btw: ipod - 1; washing machine - 0.
