Chosen Solution
In short, water got inside my iPad, but is still working normally. Problem is - some area of the screen are showing brighter shades like sun spots…. :( Has anyone solved this kind of problem? I plan to open up the screen and blow dry it using a hair dryer. Will this work? Thanks….
don’t use a hair dryer - it could make things worse dieassemble it like shown in the teardown the lcd is assembled from different parts, the water is between the actual lcd and the reflector/diffusor foils behind the lcd. it’s enough to disassemble it (very) carefully and clean it with a microfibre cloth - but be very careful with the lcd - they can crack pretty fast but as gabe mantioned - you can let it dry and those spots can go away - if not, the cleaning wortks - but it’s not easy at all
When this happened to my phone, it eventually disappeared as it dried off. Some spots may remain but for now, let it dry off. And theres not much to do if it stays anyway…
Idea: I hear that, for the iPhone and similar devices, putting the unit in dry (uncooked) rice for a few days may help absorb the moisture from the device. For the iPad, try a gallon-size zip-top bag and a generous amount of rice. Also keeping it in a warm place may hasten the moisture absorption.
So does rice ALWAYS work?For me the water was in there for a week and started to condensate behind the screen two days in
