What to do if your iPad gets wet

Thursday 12 August 2010 @ 6:26 pm

If you are a beach lover or you occasionally end up getting in drenched conditions, you must get an iPad waterproof case without any doubt, or at best a water resistant case for your iPad.  Regrettably, Apple’s warranty for iPad does not really cover any damage due water seepage.  We can’t complain about it.  What you’d need to do to restore your iPad will depend on how wet your iPad has become.

At this point, your gorgeous looking Apple iPad may be like your sweetheart.  You love it, coo over it and take care of it;  nevertheless, at some point it’s going to be yet another device much like your cell phone.  There are actually good odds that your little one could possibly toss it into your bath tub or you might get caught in rains with no protection for your iPad.  Here are a few most awesome guidelines you should know in case your iPad or some other electronic gadget gets wet.

  • Take out iPad from water.  That is the first apparent step.
  • Don’t touch any buttons
  • Don’t turn the iPad on, if it’s off.
  • Take the iPad out from the case, should it be in one, and drain out all excess water.  Dry your iPad using a soft towel, and power it down as quickly as possible.
  • You may use a hair dryer on very low heat setting to dry up as much of the water as possible.  Take off the batteries from your iPad.
  • Put the iPad in a bag of uncooked rice grain for around two to three days -- the longer the better -- to complete drying out.  The rice grain will absorb any moisture that is remaining inside your iPad and will ultimately leave it totally dry.

After about three days, try to turn on the iPad to see whether it functions properly.  You might have to charge it prior to turning it on.  If that doesn’t work, you may have to place your iPad inside a plastic bag along with several silica gel packets for another 2-3 days.

Even after performing all these steps, if your iPad doesn’t work, you should call Apple support or visit their service center for further assistance.  And if you want to avoid all such disappointments, it is better to take proper care of your iPad by investing in a waterproof case for iPad.
