Question

What do I do if water gets inside of it?

Community Answer

You would have to replace the parts due to water damage. It's around $140 for a deep clean. If you have a warranty, then take it to an Apple store and see what they say.

Community Answer

Try using a compressed air can on it. This should blow out most debris. You can also use this trick on the charger hole, earbud plug, and other places.

Question

Can I use anti-reflective lens cleaner?

Community Answer

No. Use a screen spray that is specifically used for screen cleaning. Make sure you use a microfiber cloth, so you don't scratch the screen.

Question

My screen feels gritty and I know I never used any paper towels on it. Can I use an eyeglass cleaner-soaked cloth on it?

Community Answer

That should work. Just make sure that you don't soak it too much so you won't have to worry about extra solution getting on your iPad that you will have to clean off.

Should I use hand sanitizer?

Community Answer

No, because that could ruin your iPad. A slightly damp cloth should do the trick.

Question

What do I do if my iPad Pro isn't charging?

Community Answer

Try gently blowing in the charging hole, often dust gets stuck in there and makes the connectivity stop working. You can also use a bent paper clip and gently ease it in to see if resets the starting.
