IPad mini screen not working / water damage

I had my iPad mini and a bottle of water i in my bag - water started leaking. When I realised the iPad was still working (it was a bit wet but wiped it off and tested it and it was working), I removed the case and put it in a dry bag. Came back home and tried to use it. The screen lit up for 2 secs and then went dark. The iPad is still working - when I press the home button and the power button I can hear the "taking picture" sound. The screen however remains black.... Any idea what I need to do? Thank you, Eleni

You really should not turn the iPad on until it is totally dry. Turn it off, if it will turn off. Get a bag and fill it with uncooked white rice. Place the iPad in the bag for 48 hours and let the rice draw the water out of the iPad. You need enough rice to cover the iPad. After 48 hours, remove the iPad, if it still seems to have some dampness, get more rice and try it again.
When you think it is finally dry enough to try, power it back up again And see how it goes. A better alternative, IMO, would be to take the iPad to an Apple Store and let them inspect it after you dry it out and before you turn it on again.

Ipad mini screen not working??

so i picked up my ipad mini today and tried to turn it on but nothing happened.   i thought maybe the battery was dead so i plugged it in but it still wouldnt turn on. i hooked it up to my macbook and it made the noise acknoweldging that it was plugged in but nothing appeared on the screen. my macbook said it has 100% battery life. i tried to reset it by holding the top and home button but nothing happened, no apple symbol appeared. i held down the home button and i can hear siri's voice and she can still find stuff for me but i still have a blank screen? it seems the ipad is functioning properly just not the screen? please help! my ipad is brand new, only 3 months old, and i take good care of it!

HT4623 My iPad mini is not working right ?? On some apps

My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

The volume down button on my iPad mini is not working.

The volume down button on the right hand side of my iPad mini is not working. I can turn the volume up but not down for sum reason. My father thinks I should take it and have it fixed but I'm wound earring if it's sum thing else!

Thanks; I tried this last night and it didn't work. I think it might be a software issue and will return it tomorrow. I'll try restoring one more time.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

IPad mini screen not responding.

Was using my iPad for a short duration and locked the screen. Went back to it about 10-20 min later, and the screen was not responding. Would try to slide the lock screen, press the camera, and nothing would work. I have restarted it multiple times with pressing both lock and home buttons at same time, and nothing as worked. I guess I will have to try to let the battery die but thats gonna take a few days. Any suggestions?

Why is the iPad mini screen not very sensitive to touch?

There are times when the screen is not sensitive to touch. This is always observed when in Netflix mode, i.e. When trying to pause the move, re-start to continue or when exiting the movie. Is this a common occurrence? This also occurs at times during the internet mode when the backup arrow key is selected to get back to the previous page. Any answers to this issue will be appreciated. I believe this IPad mini is of the 2nd generation.
Golpedegulat

That's a fair point but my 4S running the last iOS 5 update loads the thousands of apps I have purchased over the past 4 years in a few seconds on a wi-fi connection. Whereas the mini iPad does not and if it starts showing sings of doing it, it simply crashes back to the home screen. The iPad works flawlessly in all other contexts and when viewing previously purchased music and video, it loads that just fine.
While these forums are exactly the place where you see that "very small minority" experiencing this issue, it is quite an aggravating hiccup for a brand new device running a somewhat maligned operating system. It is definitely not a hardware issue at all, which is comforting, but it could very well be the operating system and it could also be an Apple server problem, the latter would be great. The end result is that Apple cannot help me after I detailed the issue and escalated it.

My sister's iPad Mini is not working, she was charging it and two of my niece used it, now it is not working and won't open, how can we fix it?

We don't know what to do! We are kinda panicking cuz the iPad Mini of my sister is not working!

When you press and hold the sleep/wake button on the side of the iPad does anything happen at all? Anything show up on the screen?
Also try the first thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

HELP iPad mini sound not working

We just bought our daughter her iPad mini today and the sound just stopped working. It'll only work with headphones; we never put headphones in prior to the sound not working. I tried resetting the phone and phone settings several times, as well as plugging in and out headphones. I changed the switch on the side to lock rotate. I also turned off the mono sound thing. I am at a loss as to what else there is to do. Any other suggestions? I've been at this for a couple of hours now trying to fix her iPad. Please help!

Do you get sounds in any apps on the iPad ?
If you get sound in the Music and Videos apps but not others then have you got notifications muted ? You say that you changed the side switch to rotation lock, but are sounds muted ? The switch on the side of the iPad controls either rotation or mute, the function that it isn't controlling is set via the iPad's control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the iPad's screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off').
Notification mute and rotation lock : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
