Power it off immediately and don't charge it — iPad has no water resistance, so liquid reaches the board fast. SPR runs an ultrasonic board bath at our Kepong HQ.

ON-BENCH REPAIR · 16 BRANCHESiPad has no water resistance to fall back on, so any of these means it needs to come in — the longer you wait, the more corrosion spreads.
iPad has no IP water rating, so liquid that gets inside reaches the logic board easily and corrosion starts immediately — this repair is time-critical, and the sooner it arrives, the more we can save. SPR opens the iPad (more involved than a phone because the display is laminated and bonded), disconnects the battery to kill any live short, strips the logic board and gives it an ultrasonic cleaning bath that lifts corrosion out of places a brush can't reach, then does targeted corrosion removal under a microscope. Salty and sugary liquids leave conductive residue that keeps corroding, so thorough cleaning matters more than a quick dry. Once clean we test rail by rail and replace anything the liquid killed — a charging port, the battery, a flex — and real board-level faults are micro-soldered at our Kepong HQ. We never just dry it and hand it back. Liquid damage is the one repair we can't promise on, because it depends entirely on what got in and how long it sat — we give you the realistic odds after we open it, and the diagnosis is free.
Workshop / board-level, typically around 24 hours and time-critical — the sooner it arrives, the more we can save. iPad has no IP water rating, so liquid reaches the board easily and corrosion starts immediately. We open the iPad (more involved than a phone because the display is laminated and bonded), disconnect the battery to kill any live short, fully strip the logic board and give it an ultrasonic cleaning bath that lifts corrosion out of places a brush can't reach, then isopropyl and targeted corrosion removal under a microscope. Salty and sugary liquids leave conductive residue that keeps corroding, so thorough cleaning matters more than a quick dry. Once clean we test rail by rail and replace anything the liquid killed — a charging port, the battery, a flex — and genuine board-level faults are micro-soldered at our Kepong HQ. We never just dry it and hand it back. Honest call up front: liquid damage is the one repair we can't promise on, because it depends entirely on what got in and how long it sat — we tell you the realistic odds after we open it, and the diagnosis is free. If the data matters most, tell us upfront.

Yes — bring it in soon even if it seems fine. iPad has no water resistance, so liquid that got inside dries on the board and keeps corroding the traces for days; an iPad that works today can start failing — no charging, ghost touch, won't turn on — a week later, by which point it's a bigger repair. A clean while it's still healthy is far cheaper than waiting.
No. Rice can't pull liquid out of a sealed, laminated tablet, and the time spent waiting is time corrosion is eating the board. Powering it on 'to check' while wet is what causes the killing short. Power it off, don't charge it, and get it to us — the board has to be cleaned properly.
Often, but it's different from a phone or laptop. On iPad the storage is soldered to the logic board, so data recovery means getting the board clean and stable enough to boot, which we attempt at board level after the ultrasonic clean. The sooner it reaches us the better the odds. Tell us upfront if the data is the priority and we handle the repair with that goal first.

No — SPR is independent. We're not Apple, not an Apple Authorised Service Provider, and we don't claim to be. We've been repairing Apple devices for 17 years across 16 branches in KL and Selangor. If you specifically want Apple-genuine parts and an Apple-issued service record, your only option is Apple's own out-of-warranty service. If you want fast same-day independent repair with a 6-month warranty at independent shop pricing, that's us.
Every water damage at SPR comes with a 6-month warranty on parts and labour, honoured at all 16 branches across KL and Selangor — bring it to any SPR location for warranty work, not just the branch where the repair was done. Water-damage repairs carry a shorter warranty due to the unpredictable progression of corrosion.
OEM-grade parts as standard — manufactured to the same specifications as the originals. Premium-grade options are available on request for most models. We show you both tiers upfront so you can choose what fits. Apple does not sell parts to repair shops, so no independent shop in Malaysia can offer Apple-genuine parts; anyone claiming so is misleading.
Yes. Free diagnosis on walk-in at every branch. If we cannot repair your device, you pay nothing — no diagnostic fee, no consultation charge. Many fixes (lint cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, software-only) cost nothing if that's all that's needed.
