I know you're dying to know. I wish I didn't know, but it's a tale as old as time. Who hasn't dropped a cellphone/mp3 player/other electronic device into a toilet/puddle/bathtub/washer/sink/etc....

My sister dropped my not-so-beloved iPod into her bubble bath (so much for a relaxing soak). Of course, I forgave her, but I gave it to a guy I work with, who happens to fix and sell iPods, and he said that although the screen went black after the submersion, all it needed was a good charge and it was like nothing happened.

I have also heard similar stories of Creative Lab and SanDisk products working just peachy after an unintentional bath. But what happened to my Sansa, is a different story.

Like my sister before me, I was trying to take one of those relaxing baths you hear all about, and it was great (in case you were curious) up until *plunk* went my Sansa. I pulled that sucker out in less than three seconds, I swear; there was no way that thing was under water for more than five. It gurgled a few notes, then died.
I rushed to towel-dry it and then used a blow dryer to get in the cracks. Afterward, it did turn on once or twice, and I opened it with a tiny screwdriver and there was no apparent rust or water damage. The weird thing is, when I plug it in to my USB port, the screen lights up with the little doggie and I get a "charging" message with a battery icon, and it's all animated and fairly clear.

I hate to say this thing is done for, since not only do I get screen activity, but when it's plugged in my folder with all the files opens up. So, if anyone has any advice, please let me know.

P.S.: I also plan on contacting Sansa customer service for their feedback, and I will keep you posted on that, as well.
