Can you help me fix my iPad??

Can you help me fix my iPad? I was in the shower with my iPad sitting on the toilet when it died, although I knew it would happen since not to long ago I had 5% left. So when I got out of the shower I started charging my iPad and I got the notification that liquid was detected in my usb-c connecter and that my iPad would disconnect so when it did we tried everything to dry the liquid inside including things we didn’t know was making it worse like rice or drying it with a paper towel but nothing was working and every time we tried to turn it on to see if anything changed it would always ask to plug in the charger but when we do nothing happens because we can’t charge iPads when liquids been detected so if you know how to fix it please let me know because It would be better if I had it fixed befor eI went on vacation which is in 4 days so please please please please help me!!!!!!!!!

Water and electronics do not make happy bedfellows. Your iPad is not designed to be water resistant. While it may survive being splashed with water if immediately dried, it will almost certainly suffer irreparable damage if allowed to get wet. When used in high humidity environments, condensation is equally damaging.


You would be best advised to take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad. If repair isn’t possible, the iPad can be responsibly recycled - and you’ll be in the best possible place to explore possible replacement:
