Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
yes i did it. dont even ask! i dried it best as, this has happened within the hour. As yet it will not switch on and i dare not charge it.
what should i do and not do? quick help needed!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6, was in water for about 5secs.
Do not try to turn it on. Put it in a container of dry rice. Leave it there for 4-5 days. Be patient. After that, plug it in, charge it, then try to turn it on. You may get lucky.
Best of luck.
Sure did. Mind you this is what he told me so am wondering whether or not to believe it.
Makes for a good story!
It certainly does. I've heard lots of tales of woe with iPhones being accidentally laundered but that was a first for the iPad for me.
cheers mac-man, it was re assuring to see that this had been done before and that solutions exist. hopefully it wont be fatal. thanx for your help.
Meg St._Clair, Thank you for your very speedy response, which i was almost immediately able to act on lol, it helped calm my frittered ( is that even a word?) nerves, reassuring me as much as providing practical advice.
You ARE a star my dear, Thank You!
That's funny about your friend! you should tell your friend that it's easy to wash iPads with a cleaner and not in the washer!! 🙂 No, my friend dropped her iPhone in a pool and she put in rice for a few days and it worked-mostly. Good luck dapper1!!
cheers slbyard but its the word "mostly" that concerns me. oh and its so like when u gotta scab and u wanna pick that ***** early. i know i shouldnt and i wont, but im dying to try switch it on. i sealed it in jiffy bag wid rice and 4 of my 2yr old daughters junior panty liner thingys. look, i cudnt find no silica ok, gimme a break. i figured that active stuff inside must be a gel bead dessicate too. spose the only thing to do meantime is kick some major butt domination style in MW3. Peace.
When you shake your iPad, do you hear any water sloshing around in it?
let us know how it turns out!!
Good luck everyone!!
😉
I have my fingers crossed for you! 😁
well, if your willing to get it fixed, remove the screen and use a hair dryer
and dry ice wont do much, dry ice will just break it, set it screen down in the sun or something
Rice not ice....
