After getting wet the Ipad does not start

Hello,

I had my Ipad Air 3 in water and it does not start anymore.

I have opened it and actually I can not see much damage (corrosion etc.).

When connecting Power I can hear the Power connected sound, but no Picture appears.

Occasionally I have seen the Loading Image for a brief Moment, but its random.

My question ist what is more likely be the Problem, Display, Battery or Logic Board.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Martin

If you go into a dark room and shine a flashlight on the display, do you see anything?

No,

I tried, and I can see nothing but Black. Also no Backlight.

If you can get some pictures of the damage would be helpful, since knowing where the corrosion is or where the liquid went might help pinpoint better what part(s) might be at fault. You can edit your original post to include pictures.

If you device has fallen into water. try not to on to fast it can led to short circuit inside the device.

Try putting it in rice for 1-2 days and get the water absorbed.

if that doesnt work try keeping it idle for somedays. sometimes it may work if not you should service it

Rice will do nothing but hinder further repairs.

@imicrosoldering We should tell that to those Hollywood idiots who put this hoax in their movies and Tv series every now and then. Since people don't have a clou, they believe telly and keep spreading this BS :)
