In college today, I had my iPad in my bag and a bottle of water leaked all over my bag, ruining some of my books and I noticed my iPad 2 had water on the screen, It had some sort of white cloud under the screen constantly and something what looked like white sun spots. I turned it off, and when I got home my mother turned it on by accident and now its turning on and off by itself. I live in the UK and I've just checked my warranty has ran out on it, what are the best options?
Got a tip for us?

Turn it OFF first! If it's powered off, electrical system is less likely to short out. Don't turn it back on for several days (3-4) until it's had a chance to dry out. In the interim, place it in a large bowl or plastic bag completely covered by dry rice and hope moisture is drawn out by rice and it dries out!
