iPad Water Damage Data Recovery — Same-Day Emergency
Last Updated:
iPad water damage is time-critical (same as iPhone). Water + dissolved minerals damage NAND storage chips and logic-board components progressively. Drop-off same-day or arrange same-day insured courier. Our process: ultrasonic clean → NAND chip integrity assessment → logical recovery if NAND alive, chip-off if not.
iPads have an advantage over iPhones for water-damage recovery: bigger physical chassis = better access to internals + slightly slower corrosion progression (more material between water and chips). Recovery rate is 60-80% on fresh-water iPads if treated within 48 hours.
Common Issues & How We Fix Them
Liquid or water damage
A water-damaged iPad corrodes from the inside. We clean and stabilise the board and recover your data — bring it in powered off and do not apply heat.
Won’t power on after the spill
Even a dead iPad usually still holds its data; we recover it directly from the board.
Faults appearing later
Liquid damage can surface weeks later — have it checked before corrosion spreads.
We work on a no-recovery, no-fee basis: if your data cannot be recovered there is nothing to pay, and we give you a clear quote before any chargeable work begins.
