iPad Sound Not Working!

Hello, it was raining earlier and my iPad got soaked. The sound isn’t working anymore. It’s also saying that I’m using headphones but I am not. I tried using a q tip, blow drying it, using rice, and more. Can anyone give some advice? Thank you to whoever can help out 🙏

iPad, iPadOS 17

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 it gets wet or is submerged.


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:
