Original iPad mini had water damage, then sat around for 8 months.

I have an iPad mini with water damage that has been sitting around for 8 months.
I woke up in the middle of the night and spilled water on it. It was plugged in and in an Otterbox. I unplugged it, took it out of the case, and dried it off. I then put it back in the case, plugged it in, and went back to bed.
When I awoke, it was no longer working. I can't remember anymore details than that, so I have no idea what was the ultimate killer of it. I tried putting it in a bag of rice, but it didn't work. What I want to know is how much would it cost to fix it, if It can be fixed. If not, what would you all do? I loved this thing to death and kept hoping it would come back, but it hasn't.

You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 or you can buy a new one.

  • My ipad mini has water damage but when I plug into wall it says to connect to itunes. When I plug into Mac nothing happens. Not even a charging sign and nothing happens with itunes. Computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.

    If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.

  • I received a replacement iPad. On my original iPad I had dozens of books and PDF's. I completely backed up my original iPad. The categories of my iBook files transferred but NOT the actual PDF and Books. Please help.

    Are the PDFs and ibooks on your computer's iTunes ? If so then you should be able to re-sync them, if not then you can re-download ibooks for free as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . The backup doesn't contain the contents of the ibooks app, so for them to be restored to the device they needed to be in your iTunes library.

    My iphone is toast, I know I checked on icloud and see my emails from the day before it happened. Can I see when and what my phone backed up through itunes or icloud?
    Please please help i am lost.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • How does the original iPad mini perform on iOS 8?

    I have been thinking about getting a new iPad from the iPad 2. I know the original iPad mini and the iPad 2 have similar specs, but the real upgrade I get from it is the wireless technology and the ability to use Handoff. Overall, how does the original iPad mini handle iOS 8? Should I go with that iPad or get the iPad mini 2? I wouldn't get the iPad mini 3 because I don't think Touch ID is necessary for what I want to do on an iPad.
    Overall, I am wondering how iOS 8 performs on the original iPad mini so it can help me choose between the original or the iPad mini 2. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Get the mini 2 when the prices come down. The mini 2 is baically a smaller iPad Air. The improvements over the mini are well worth the money.

  • IOS 7.0.4 Update Causing my original iPad Mini to Crash / Reboot Several Times a Day

    After running the 7.0.4 update on my original iPad Mini, now the device crashes / reboots randomly when I use it.

    I'm having the same problem with my ipad w/ retina display. Updated to 7.0.4 on Thursday or Friday and since last night been experiencing blue screen and random restarts.
    Until recently it seemed to be linked only to the 'clash of clans' app, but now it is happening on the App Store too.
    I contacted apple this morning, after an unsuccessful attempt at complete restore and set up as new ipad. They advised to restore a pervious back up and delete the clash of clans game. Did this, and now I'm getting problems elsewhere which suggests it isn't a compatibility issue with the OS and game.
    Also in the same boat as you as I got it on November 2nd, launch day, and out of warranty by 2 weeks. Hopefully they can sort this either by fixing a bug in the OS or repairing my device as it's served me well with no issues for the past 12 months.

    Hi yonamadonna,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest you close all open apps, then restart and reset your iPad.  Here's how:

    Reset iPad settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
    Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Also, check the restrictions settings on your iPad mini to make sure these apps have not been turned off:

  • If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS

    If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?

    Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.

    I know I can get it replaced, I want to know if I can get it fixed. Or at the very least have my memory backed up. I want the pictures that are on my phone
