A few days ago, I accidentally sent my iPod Nano 7th gen through the wash. Naturally, it wasn't working when it came out. I did the classic rice in a bag trick though, and save for a small internal crack on the screen, the Nano is working 100%! But, there's something that bothers me...
I've heard about water corrosion, and looking at the headphone jack, there is some slight dis-coloration in there. I've tested the thing, and everything is working as it once did. I just worry that the iPod might be prone to dying out on me sooner than normal due to the potential water damage. It doesn't help I originally wanted to sell the thing to get an older iPod 5th gen (Just iPod, not of any branching type. 30GB for less than $100? YES~). If water damage is gonna be a huge issue, does that mean this thing might not be worth selling? I assume it'd be the right thing to make the wash cycle issue known when or if I do sell it, as well.
Your thoughts?
Edit: For those curious, the iPod's body is in 95% excellent condition (VERY minor marks, kept it in a case from day 1) and the small crack in the screen is at the bottom right corner barely in view and not even half an inch in length. The crack doesn't show up on the music player screen either, just when put on a white-ish background. If this is still ok to sell, please add that to your response!
