<p>Well today my mp3 player a creative labs muvo fell into the sink while the water was running and got pretty wet before I took it out. Now it wont work :(.... This has actually happened before <em>lol</em> never mind that though. Previously I allowed it to dry for a couple hours and then it would work but now it won't :( its been about 6 hours already. Is it dead doctor? :( I was told to open it and dry but i cant open it without breaking it :( Any recommendations?</p>

<p>I hope theres something I can do I've got several assignment saved on there :'(</p>

<p>you might give it a few days, actually...it could take that long for the water to evaporate from the "closed" areas. My not-waterproof watch got wet once, and that's about how long it took for the water to disappear from the case. Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>Yeah I'm probably gonna get an ipod sometime in the future but I have several large projects saved on my mp3 I can't just start over :(</p>

<p>can't isn't the operative word when you have a soggy data device. The next sop will be your tears once you realize that a smaller device would have saved the day. Jump Drive..........keychain.....sushi.</p>

<p>It's never a good idea to keep assignments on one device like this... why wouldn't you also keep a copy on your computer or email?</p>
