iPad Repair
iPad Water Damage Recovery
iPads are not waterproof — only the iPad Pro 2024 carries an IP68 rating, and older models have no water resistance at all. If your iPad has been splashed, dropped in a bath, or caught in the rain and is now showing a blank screen, touch issues, or won't power on, bring it to Mr Gadget in Rickmansworth as soon as possible.
We remove all moisture, disassemble the device to the board level, ultrasonically clean the logic board and connector pads, and treat visible corrosion. We then test each function — display, touch, charging, speakers, cameras — and give you a clear picture of what's recoverable. Data recovery from damaged iPads is available even in severe cases where the main board is partially functional.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Power off the device immediately, don't charge it, and bring it to us as soon as possible. Do not put it in rice.
Rice absorbs surface moisture but does nothing for the minerals already on the logic board — it also wastes critical time while corrosion sets in.
In the majority of cases yes — even from devices that won't power on we can often recover data.
It depends heavily on how quickly the device reaches us and what it was submerged in. Fresh water brought in within a few hours has a high recovery rate.
