iPod Help

[seven_deuce offsuit]

Ok, I don't know if my iPod is broken, but after getting it wet in Six Flags the click wheel doesn't seem to work anymore. I tried fixing it myself, but then gave up after a while. And through the pass few months I've forgotten about it. I really don't have enough money to buy a new iPod, although I would've anyway since my iPod is one of the older generations. But before I do that, I would like to know if there is any solution to my problem. Thanks.

The iPod is a little more than a year old, just out of warranty. After using it extensively on the Bose SoundDock, the click wheel stopped responding.

This is a reported iPod bug and the common fix is to reset it. With this 40Gb, 4th generation model you flip the hold button to on and back to off. Following that you push and hold the select and menu buttons simultaneously... and pray.

The problem was that the iPod did not want to reset it self, no matter how hard and for how long I pushed. Next step was to flash it with updated software. This did not help. Following step was to restore it from the computer and deleting all music on it. That did not help either.

I was desperate so I bowed my head and entered the Apple church shop on Regent's street, London. It was full of prospective Appleheads (or is the expression Macheads?) fingering G5's with monstrous flat screen displays.

Also this...

"I had the problem with the click wheel not working . Sure enough after switching it on hold andwaiting a few minutes then turning it back on the click wheel would work but only for a few minutes. The answer is to get something very thin but quite tough (I used the corner edge of a blister foil pack of pills I had) and very carefully go around the outer and inner edges of the click wheel. You will notice that small debris gunk will come out. After having done that switch to hold and wait for a couple of minutes and then switch the hold off and away you go. Completely fixed. I'm over the moon"

I can't even reset it. The wheel would need to work in order for me to do it.
