Hello recently i accdientally dropped my ipad pro when i was having a shower listening to music and it slid into shallow water and it was completely fine after but then a few hours later even after I had wiped it and wiped it and its just died and idk how to tell my mum because its not in warranty and she spent quite a lot of money on it and idk what’s gone on any ideas?
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular
The fact that it “just died” is a sure indication something either eventually shorted out or corroded (wet, tiny, energized electronic connections can corrode remarkably fast). You’ll need to replace it.
The rice or desiccant ideas really don’t work well most of the time. Trying to dry something with a desiccant is like waiting for a soaked sponge to dry out from evaporation. Desiccants are designed to keep dry things dry, not dry out wet or soaked items. Drying out something wet in a closed container with a desiccant is a stunningly slow process. And wet electronics only need a instant to short out and fry components.

iPad has no water resistance - and should not be used in proximity to water.
If the iPad has been exposed to water, it should be fully shut-down. Any attempt to use it whilst moisture is inside the iPad can lead to irreparable damage.
If you have any silica-gel granules, placing the iPad in a paper bag - and the bag with the iPad in a sealed box of silica gel - will remove a lot of moisture.
Get a bag of rice, and put your iPad in it for several hours. The rice should soak up all of the moisture.
You're outta luck!
Active, running electronics do not like water or any types of liquids getting inside of these devixes.
I seriously doubt the bag of rice in a large storage container, in sn attempt to dry out or wick out the liquid that penetrated inside of that iPad Pro is going to work.
Not good.
