My 16 year old daughter was cleaning the bathroom,
(what did I just say? pinch me, am I dreaming?)
Her Ipod got loose and landed in the toilet, she grabbed
it and rinsed it immediately. It worked for about two days
then went completely dead. If plugged into the charger the display says the
battery is dead and never changes from this display. (normally if the
battery was dead it
would say that, then after a few minutes it would display charging).
Anyway, any thoughts about cleaning any growths that may have shorted
connections, I don't see anything abnormal. Any solvent recommended? It's
dead I have nothing to lose.

You could try soaking in or opening it up and wiping with anyhydrous
alcohol, or the closest thing you can easily get, as that's sort of a
pain to find, and isn't anyhydrous anymore as soon as you break the seal
anyway...
91% or 99% isopropyl (91 is easier to find, 99 is better) Cheap, easy to
find at drugstore, my default electronics cleaning material.
Everclear (190 proof, aka 95%, ethyl) - far more expensive due to taxes
as drinking-grade.
Denatured alcohol - ethyl with some nasty crud added to keep you from
drinking it, cheap at the paint section of the hardware store.
IMO, don't use methyl, aka wood alcohol, or denatured ethyl which has
been denatured with methyl.
