That's very assuring, David, and great advice. I'll leave the Stream well alone until tomorrow.

No I did not throw it down the toilet deliberately but must have been distracted! Anyway the radio eventually fully recovered. I also recovered a digital hearing aid which went in a pocket in the washing machine . I find that you need to wait 48hours and would not recommend trying to use the device until then. Presumably if there is water or dampness in the device a premature attempt to restart it may short something.

If you must know, I had the stream in a top pocket and was adjusting the fittings on the seat so, thankfully, it was a clean toilet. I took the back off the Stream and the battery out then laid all on a towel in the airing cupboard to dry. Has anyone else successfully dried out their Stream and got it working properly again after a dunking? As a boy-scout precaution, if it is defunct, I'd like suggestions for a replacement. Isn't there a player that's smaller and has an FM radio built in? Wonder what my insurance is like.
