I know with iPhones apple stored to a "warren exchange" scheme where you take it back with a problem and they give you a warranty exchange item (its got a new back and new screen so looks like new) for a small fee if its within its warren period, might even be free!? Worth looking into if they do it with the iPod. Id keep shtum about it going down the toilet though :D

Doesn't matter where you bought it from. Still has a warranty with manufacturer, Apple. I know of several mates who had issues with iPhones and got "new" ones.

Apple checks for water damage and it looks like it's been dropped in water they are unlikely to honour the warranty. There are water sensitive markers in the ipod and iphone.

However as Alan said you can buy a "new" one.

My friend dropped his in the sea when the 3G was fairly new. Apple said it's scrap but they took it and gave him a refurbished one for £120-odd at the time, this is when they were worth £3-400.

No idea if they still do it but worth looking into.
