I have an iPad Air that I rely on for work, college assignments, and digital art since I currently don't have a phone. Today, I noticed some gunk on it, so I quickly wiped it down with a Clorox wipe. After that, my iPad showed a warning about water in the charging port, so I left it in front of a cold fan. The error stopped, but now it won't charge at all even after several hours. I tried using a soft paintbrush to clean out the port, switched chargers, and set it in front of the fan again, but nothing has worked. I'm really anxious about this situation since it's my main device and I want to avoid spending over $100 on repairs if I can help it. Is there anything else I can do?

If your iPad has a Smart Connector, you might be able to charge it that way! If not, you could try waiting a little longer to see if it begins charging on its own. If all else fails, paying a technician could be the best option. Good luck!
Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have gotten some liquid into the electronics, which can cause serious problems. Clorox wipes aren't designed for electronics, and it's risky using anything like that. Hopefully you have AppleCare, because you're going to want to get this checked out. If you can, try backing up your data just in case. On the bright side, there are some great deals on new iPads right now during Cyber Monday!
