iPod Resurrection

Nearly 3 months after my iPod was put through the washing machine, I found it on the floor behind the computer desk when I was trying to get to an outlet. I looked at it briefly and contemplated throwing it away. My mom suggested that I give it a chance since her phone ended up working after it went through the washing machine. I skeptically threw it in my bag and then forgot about it until yesterday. I found it in my bag and plugged it in. To my great surprise the red charging light came on. I couldn’t believe it until my computer started to read it. I unplugged it and tested it out and it seemed to work fine. I was very pleased, until I tried to turn down the volume and my eardrums almost started bleeding. I took it off my belt loop and tried once again to turn down the volume making sure I was pressing the right button and got the same result. I am glad my iPod survived despite face facing nearly impossible odds, but on the down side I will never be able to use it for gentle background music ever again.
