    I did the exact same thing with the exact same ipod (color and everything). By the time I realized it was in the washer, the rinse cycle had started. Any luck?

Sometimes if you leave it sit for several days or so it will dry out completely and start to work again. I don't recommend charging it or plugging it in for several days or so as if there is still water in it, it may fry some of the chips. It may be beyond repair though.

I have been reading on the internet and most of the answeres say that you need to put it in some Dry rice, I don't know if it works because i just put my ipod in rice because I accidently spilt water on it........ some other answeres say take it apart but I wouldn't recomend that, because you might mess it more up, make sure you don't try to turn your ipod on because water and electricity aren't supposed to mix......... I hope this helps.. I've put my ipod in rice and I just hopes it works.........

My ipod got got in the washer and got washed

Yes there is something you can do. Put rice in a sealable container and place your ipod in the rice. try to cover the ipod completely. the rice is a good sponge for water and it is almost the only way you can fix a waterlogged ipod.

Ipod+washer=not good.

It is possible that you damaged only the part that takes a charge, so you may have a much less portable iPod. If it had just happened and you let it sit in some dry white rice, that absorbs the moisture and will occasionally solve some problems. At this point though, I'd say that it's probably shot...
