How to fix a Wet Ipad


How to fix an iPad if it gets wet


We show you how to fix an iPad if it gets wet

Here's some tips on what to do if you're iPad gets wet:

Getting an iPad wet, next to dropping it out of a window, is probably one of the worst things that you could do to the device. Thankfully, if you've done the former you do have some options at your disposal that could save your beloved iPad.
Well the first thing is don't take it back to an Apple Store or Best Buy and pretend it's nothing to do with water. The iPad has four 'Liquid Submersion indicators' inside it that turn pink on contact with water - so they will know if you're telling lies. One of these circular sensors is visible if you look down the headphone socket with a bright light - if it's been triggered the circle will be half pink and half white.
So if Apple can't - or won't help - what can you do? All is not lost - there have been plenty of reports online of people successfully 'drying out' their drenched iPads and making them reusable.
Note: if you have completely immersed your iPad don't try to restart it by plugging it into a power source. Follow the steps below to have the best chance of resurrecting it
The most successful method is to get hold of some packets of Silica gel, which is an incredibly moisture-absorbent substance. If you keep your packaging for electronics or cameras you may already have some lying around the house. Otherwise you can find it at Arts & Crafts shops - it's used for drying flowers - or you may be able to grab it from an electronics store. Alternatively you can order it online.>
Then pack the iPad in a sealed plastic bag among the packets of Silica gel and store it in a dry place for at least three days. That should ensure all the moisture is drawn out from the electronic innards of your iPad.
If you can't get ahold of the Silica gel quickly, place your iPad in a bag or box of uncooked rice and reseal it. This will keep it as dry as possible in the meantime. Then transfer the iPad to the Silica gel bags as soon as you get them.
Finally connect up your iPad to your PC, load up iTunes and try to do a complete Restore. This will provide you with the best chance of getting the iPad to its pre-drenched working state.

Ipad 2 Accesories

Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
