iPod Volume controls disappeared.

Well, I dropped a bit of water on my iPod.

An hour later, the volume bar disappeared, along with all sound.

I searched the problem online and people said to try to dry off the earphone jack/dock connector, as there was probably water/dust/etc. inside my dock connector/jack, making the iPod believe that it was connected to a speaker and therefore removed the volume controls.

I did this, and the volume bar and sound came back.

However, a few minutes later, the same problem occurred.

Is there a way to solve this problem without bringing the iPod to the Apple store? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
