Ipad screen faded white after liquid damage, help?

So last night my Ipad was on my bedside table, as well as a drink, in the middle of the night i've knocked my drink over and some of it has gone onto my ipad. This morning my screen was normal, but then its started flickering and has gone faded. I left it in some rice for about an hour and it was normal again, and now its gone faded. The touch screen still works as normal. I put it back into some rice for now.

Any solutions?:(

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.4

Just keep waiting. Unless that water was near one of the ports, it shouldn't have gotten inside the device. But if you are experiencing fading then maybe some did.

Usually iPads are pretty stable since they use flash memory and no moving parts. If water gets inside it doesn't damage the device as much as it causes damage by causing short circuits. ANd those short circuits are caused by use, so since you've been using it if there is any damage it's probably done. The rice does work, but you need to leave your device in that rice for days, not just an hour.

Leave it there for a day or so and see if there's still fading. It'll either resolve or be permanent.
