An Australian teen left his iPod in the clothing hamper and it ended up in the wash. Not surprisingly, it did not function when it came out. In an apparent attempt to fix the unit, the boy tried to pry it open with a screwdriver, at which point the iPod exploded ("or more of a pop"), leaving a burn mark on the cover and emitting fumes. The boy was treated by paramedics for minor breathing difficulties after ingestng the fumes.

Saw it here :shock:

OR

go here ;)

Did you take it to an authorised service centre?
