Unplug it. Do not turn it on. Put it near a dehumidifier. I'd say use a hair dryer but you can't open it. Do not turn it on for 2 or 3 days. By then it should be dry. Once it's completely dry, that's when you can see what state it's in.
If it was on, hold down the power button until it shuts off. Leave it off for days
DO NOT TURN IT ON. Get it as dry as you can, get the water completely out of every opening you can find, and then leave it. Some folks say putting it into a plastic sealed bag with rice helps, but whatever you do... DO NOT TURN IT ON.
If it got thoroughly doused, let it sit at least 48 hours. Do not plug it in and absolute do not power it on in that time. Good luck.
I've been in this spot before, with an iPhone, and it turned out fine. As long as it was water it will evaporate but you can't run power thru until it's dry
When I was a teen, I had a C64 with a big floppy drive, I spilled orange juice in it-! I put my glass right on the housing, near the vent holes-!!!!! In a flash, I unscrewed the assembly, disconnected all the boards all the while memorizing the connections in reverse (no internet reference back then lol), ran the circuit boards under hot water to rinse the orange juice off completely, then hit the whole thing with a hair dryer. I've never moved so fast in my life. Running circuit boards under hot water-! To rinse fing Orange juice, can you imagine?!? But guess what, I reassembled it all and it worked just fine.
So, I think if you just got the iPad a bit wet, then let it dry out completely. They're pretty well enclosed pieces of gear.
To power off the iPad, press and hold the power key til it shuts off, don't use the screen commands
The bag of rice is a very good idea
^ what they said. Good luck!
Thanks guys....I'm headed to Apple store tmw. I just bought it last month,,,,is it ok to,exchange?
Tell them your story, and do it in a very nice tone, making sure to do the droopy face at all times.
Rice. Good luck.
Rice advice here also!
Good advice above.
One of my lab partner's kids got in a hot tub with his phone. His kids regularly destroyed their phones (this one already had a cracked screen) and his dad decided to try to fix it. He brought the soaked phone into the lab the next day in a sealed ziplock bag ... determined to dry it out and get it working again and it's pretty funny. Here's what he did:
He was concerned about dissolved salts in the hot tub water that might mess with the electronics after the water evaporated. So the first thing he did was drop the phone into two liters of distilled water and let it stir for 24 hours with one change of the distilled water. He essentially dialized the phone! Ha!ha!
He dumped the distilled water and exchanged it for 100% ethanol and let the phone stir in that for an hour or two. The ethanol absorbed the residual water.
Took the phone out of the ethanol and put it into the vacuum desiccator for an hour to speed the evaporation of all the ethanol.
Plugged the phone into the charger and it powered up just fine! Several semi-nude photo texts from his son's girlfriend came in immediately. Ha!ha!ha! Kids today!
dont turn on
put it in rise, rise will absorb all humidity
+1 for rice, but it's better silica gel (and is cheep, too).
Send unit to @Pianokey88 for lab work.
That's why I have dogs........................
Our IT guy at work runs dirty keyboards through the dishwasher. Just lets them sit for a couple of months to fully dry before reusing. Clean and good as new.
Now you know another reason your prescription drugs cost so much!
Lol. That's what they mean by R and D?
New band: The Vacuum Desiccator
Yeah. Rice or if you can, buy silica gel beans.
The ones they punt in little packets in shoes.
You can find them on Amazon I guess, especially since your're in the US.
Be careful where you place them... they're highly toxic.
Let us know how it worked.
If you bought AppleCare, you can do it one more time as well...... Good luck, dipped my iPhone last year, it worked after but was never the same. Fortunately AppleCare replaced it no questions.....
All the advice, offered is excellent, but what was the screen like when you switched it off, most devices screen are a sandwich of glass, plastic etc. if water has got into this ultra thin space it's really difficult to remove without leaving stains, electronic circuits can be dried, screens are the pain.
Hoover it. That will suck out all the water.
Looks like everything is ok. Thanks for the advice and I won't not taking my eye off my iPad from now on
Ok, so you turned it on...
I had a friend who refused my "leave it in rice!" advice. His phone worked but literally sounded like it was always underwater, LOL. Ringtones, phone conversations, every sound thru speakerphone sounded like it was still in the toilet, haha. ...
Just a warning in case you start to have audio issues. ;-)
At least you could do a "metal songs of the sea" series if that's the case.
But seriously, I'm very glad it's ok.
