But don’t worry, our experts regularly encounter problems like these, from iPads that refuse to charge to iPad Pro® cameras that are unable to capture images or movies. We fix technology when it malfunctions. This is our approach to diagnosing water damage on an iPad.
How to handle the situation where water spills on your iPad
Fortunately, your iPad can withstand water damage. Since the device’s glass display and aluminum shell provide few openings for water to seep inside, there’s a good chance it will be OK if you’ve simply spilled a little amount of water on it. However, your iPad may sustain significant water damage if it were completely submerged in a bathtub, pool, or toilet.
In any case, quick action is crucial. This is what you should do.
Take the iPad out of the water.
It may be so startling to drop your iPad in water that you’re left standing there, gazing at it. That seems sense, but keep in mind that the most crucial thing to do is to remove your tablet from the water very away. By doing this, the harm will be lessened.
Make sure your iPad is dry.
Wipe the front of your smartphone with a fresh, dry towel, looking for any wetness around the Home button. If your iPad has a case, take it off and check for water on the edges, charging port, camera lenses, and buttons. Then, dry the entire device.
If your iPad has a SIM card tray, take that out as well if you completely submerged it in water. Any water within will be able to escape with the aid of this. To aid in the water’s evacuation, you may also shake and blow on your iPad.
Switch off your iPad.
Avoid turning on your device or connecting it to a charger if it was already off when it became wet, since this might result in a short circuit. Turn off your iPad if it’s still on and working after being wet. Here’s how:
Press and hold the Top button on your iPad if it has a Home button. Drag the slider to the right when it shows up on your screen.
In the event that your iPad lacks a Home button, press and hold the Volume and Top buttons. Drag the slider to the right when it shows up on your screen.
Allow your iPad to dehydrate.
To allow your iPad to completely dry out, prop it up in a cool, dry room with the Home button at the bottom for 24 to 48 hours. On the second day, turn your gadget over if it has four speakers so that any water that has been caught by the upper speakers may drain out.
Check out your iPad.
Try turning on your tablet once more after a day or two. If it does, you can proceed.
Try charging your iPad for a few hours before attempting to turn it on again.
You can have a damaged battery or water damage if it still won’t turn on, or if it turns on but freezes, has a glitchy screen, black patches, strange colors, or moisture in the camera.
We’re just around the corner if you’ve done these steps and still need a little assistance.
Avoid these mistakes if your iPad gets wet.
Avoid using do-it-yourself fixes if your iPad gets wet. Avoid using a space heater or hair dryer to dry your iPad since high temperatures might harm it.
Another common practice is immersing a damp iPad (or smartphone) in a bowl of rice. Don’t, please. When rice becomes lodged in the nooks and crannies of your gadget, it might do more harm than good. A safer way to help dry up your gadget is using silica gel packets, the little white bags that are typically found in product packaging and include the warning, “Do not eat.”
