iPad Pro Water damage on mom's iPad Pro. Is it worth fixing?

[Canadia69]

My mom spilled her coffee on her iPad Pro 11inch (2020) before going grocery shopping. WHen she came back 2hours later she discovered it. I told her to put it in a tuperware of riz but its been 24h now and it seems totalled. The iPad wakes from sleep but its a black screen (I cannot see ht ehome screen). I have been trying to power it off by pressing power and volume down button for 30sec+ but it doesn't seem to want to power off what ever I do.

Do you think apple store genius bar can fix this? Can it even be fixed? Or is it just worth buying a new one at that point?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

iPad Repair and Service - Apple Support

Need to repair your iPad? See your service options, their costs by coverage type, and how long they take.

support.apple.com

suggests $549 - $599 assuming it's a 4th gen. It likely won't be fixed in store, unless a force restart works

If your iPad won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

If your iPad has a frozen screen or becomes stuck, learn what to do.

Is it worth it ?. Maybe :

if Mom needs or wants another Pro model.

Apple will replace this one with a new one. Depending on whether you have AppleCare or not, you could either face an $800 replacement fee, or $99 for a service fee.
If you want the iPad to be repaired instead of being replaced, you likely have to visit a third party repair shop. But this kind of liquid damage ain’t gonna be cheap either.

Forced startup won't do anything to it, it's already shorted out by spilled coffee and trying to turn it on. Rice does not save at all, but only harms - the whole area of contact with the liquid will be instantly oxidized by starch and chemical reaction.
The repair will cost half the price of the device. It is cheaper to buy a new one.

Any ideas if I can $$ to recycle it? On apple's website its worth nothing for trade in since its not working..her magic keyboard also is ruined I think....if I could get 100 or even 50$ for them it would be better than nothing. Thanks again

you can sell it for parts, provided there's no fatal damage.
