There would often be more number of liquid damaged iPad cases when compared to other forms of damages. The liquid damages to these devices are commonly considered to be more dangerous as they can raise complicated issues for the device which may lead to permanent damage of the device.
The intensity of the iPad damage also depends on the type of liquid that is the cause for the damage along with the time elapsed before taking a proper measure or remedy against the damage. There is an important factor from which we can predict the amount of damage a particular liquid could do to the device. That factor is nothing but pH value of the liquid. Usually the liquids which are more acidic in nature would do a bigger damage to the device as they eat or burn away the electronic components like ICs of the iPad. The pH value of 7 is considered to be neutral. Anything below 7 is considered to be acidic. Lesser the pH value more is the damage to the device by the corresponding liquid.
Let us have a look at some liquids and their pH values that can cause significant damage to the device. Soft drinks, especially coke has a very less pH value of around 2.5. From the definition of pH mentioned already, we can decipher that it’s very acidic and hence the damage it could do is lot. Even the lemon juice is very acidic as its pH varies from 2 to 2.5. You do not want your iPad anywhere near those drinks. Milk is considered okay as its pH hovers above 6.5. But that too could cause damage if our reaction time after the device is spilled on is too late.
Yes, apart from the acidity factor, the reaction time plays a significant part in recovering your device from the damage. As mentioned above, if your reaction time is even a tad slow, you can say good bye to your device irrespective of the type of liquid that attacked your device and get your money ready for a brand new phone.
The first thing we should do, as our instinct says, when the device is spilled with liquid is to immediately take that device out from the liquid and dry the external parts. Make sure that the liquid does not flow deep into the ear phone sockets or dock connectors. It is better to take the device immediately to an expert technician to prevent permanent damages.
