Ipod fix it help-the other guys are rip offs

Wow! 4 followers! Its like some kind of fairytale come true!!!
So to celebrate my 4 loyal followers, I took a job writing for our University newspaper and broke my iPod! Hazaa!
I didn't break my iPod on purpose, it got drenched in my backpack on my way to work. I didn't notice its passing until I opened a backpack full of water. I did what I could. I cleaned it, I put it in a bag of rice and let it sit in the sun for 2 days. I cried and I yelled at it. In the end I had to face facts, it wasn't working and I was all alone!!!!!
So I started comparing prices and looking up online what to do and where to go. Lucky for me my year warranty had ended about 4 months ago! The pain has been terrible, but I did find some answers. For one thing I learned that places like "Best Buy" are a total rip off when it comes to iPod repair. You can pay about $60, to get your iPod shipped and "diagnosed" by a professional, but this does not include ANY actual repair.
I did find an incredibly helpful site with many wonderful iPod angels! They will email and answers questions and actually encourage you to fix it on your own!!!!! I'm not making that up! They have great videos and tutorials to show you what to do and they sell the parts, just the parts, to you, the consumer!!!!!!!
