I dropped my Motorola in water and put it in rice to get all the moisture out and it turns on and everything seems to be working but I cant get the touch screen

I can almost be sure yur hotel room is cold with air conditioning. Even when the iPad is on its case, condensation can create havoc with the electronics.

But don't dismay, you have a great chance nothing serious happened.

There are two ways you can "dry" your tablet, either by putting it in front of the A/C air stream (it's dry cold air), then try to turn it on on INSIDE your room, or you can put it in the sun INSIDE your room, so water evaporates and steam gets "sucked" by the dry A/C air, then try to turn it on.

Don't try to recharge it while it's still humid.

The same applies to cameras or cell phones because of the air humidity condensation.

Hope it helps

Did you try the bag of rice trick?

This is probably water damaged. You MIGHT get lucky with keeping it (powered off) in a bag of rice to wick the moisture out of the tablet and into the rice. Keep it there for a few days to keep it from getting damaged any further.

• Act fast. Assume your phone is going to be alright and take immediate action.
• Do not attempt to switch the phone on to see if it's still working. You risk doing further damage by shorting components.
• Remove the battery, SIM card and MicroSD card if you have one.
• Dry as much as you can by hand with a towel, and blow out water from all the crevasses with a can of compressed air. If you don't have a can handy, do it by mouth.
• Submerge your phone in a bowl of dry rice (this will absorb surrounding moisture), or if you have them, moisture absorbing crystals like the ones you get in satchels with electronic gadgets. No you can't use left over fried rice from last nights Chinese takeaway.
• Wait at least 24 hours before trying to boot the phone.
• There are no guarantees your phone will be resurrected.

Before you take it anywhere why not try this idea. I had an iphone that was dropped in the bath tub full of water. I tried to dry it with a hair dryer but it did not work. My oldest daughter told me to put it in a plastic bag of dry white rice and seal it closed. Let it stay in the bag for a few days to give the rice time to absorb the water that is in the phone. I did this and left it for four days and removed it from the rice and the phone started working right away. Its worth a try.

may be fried.... got insurance? warranty for spillage?

It's a delicate electronic device. It's not designed to survive this. Sorry.

This is touchy first of all, DO NOT attempt to turn it on, if you have done so this may be too late.

Things you will need; Silica Gel Packs if you can get them, or a bag of rice.

Put the iPad into a seal able bag with the silica gel packs or the rice (the rice can be loose) for at least 72 hours. This should take all the moisture out of the tablet. You can use also a seal able tupperware box but you need to emerge the ipad inside the dry rice.

It goes without saying the rice should NOT be cooked rice. I hope this helps you. Have a great day

Put it in a large bowl. Then add rice. Rice has a habit of soaking up water. After a few days try your luck and turn it on.

Try putting it in a large ziplock bag or rubbermaid container with rice and leave it there for a few days to pull out the moisture.
