My ipod was washed in the washing machine?

so yeah. i got my ipod christmas 2008; it's a second generation 8gb. i've wanted a new ipod touch for like 3 months but my parents really didn't want to be buy me a new one because they have to pay for my sister and i to play club volleyball. but anywho. my mother washed my ipod touch in the pocket of my jacket. it was also in the dryer for about 20 minutes. i plugged it up to my laptop and it did this really bright flashing light for like 2 seconds and then it didn't come on. i want a new ipod anyways. so should i get this one fixed or get a new one? my ipod is really old and crappy and the battery is screwed up, and it has a ton of scratches and stuff.
