M2 adores her iPod Touch. Everywhere she goes, so does the device; it never leaves her hands. She was rewarded with it last year when she met and surpassed the year end exam’s target.
Anyway, yesterday hubby and I went off to play golf and M2 decided to finally make the Oreo Jello pudding. M1 helped and all was fine, I think. It was 9.30pm, whilst having our dinner after the game I received the call. “Mummy. What time are you coming home?” M1 wanted to know. “Soon,” I said, “Is there a problem?”
“Well, Mabel is very sad. She has something to tell you.” Oh dear. I braced for what calamity I may hear.
It turns out that in her moment of enthusiasm of completing the Jello, the iPod that never leaves her hand chose that moment to dip into the mush just as she was placing the bowl in the fridge. The speaker and the dock connector had a taste of Oreo Jello!
Horrors. M2’s heart and world came crashing down. Her beloved iPod, rendered useless! M1 helped clean off as much as possible but the speaker just couldn’t function, totally blocked with jello.
We got home as fast as we could. The first thing I did was to google up the solution, “How to fix iPod with blocked speaker.” and tadaaa…… Google is amazing!
Hubby used the hair dryer to heat up the iPod to soften the front, intending to pry it open as instructed. But the heat must have melted off all the goo inside because when he accidently clicked the ON/OFF button, a sound came through, loud and clear! The intense heat had resurrected the iPod! There was sound coming out from the speaker again.
You could sense the relief in M2. A lesson was definitely learnt. There are times it’s okay to put the iPod down when it comes to using the hands for other things, like putting a bowl of Jello in the fridge.
