Shadowy light flickereing above home button on ipad mini

I have an iPad mini and it was purchased in December. Since yesterday I noticed a shadowy type light flickering at the bottom of the screen just above the home button. I have no idea what this is and hope somebody has an answer? I am very concerned about it, thank you. When I put my brightness on high the shadowy light is not visible, however as soon as I put the brightness down the shadowy light becomes ovious and noticeable.

it might because you have pressed the button a little too hard and caused a dent in the display inside or something. take it to the apple store, since if you didn't press hard and there's the problem, they can give you a new one.

  • Dust around home button on iPad Mini

    I've only had my iPad mini for a few days now and already I notice dust getting collected around the home button.
    Does anyone else get this? Which is the best way to get rid of the dust?
    Thanks

    My iPad mini is in a case so, I haven't really noticed too much dust.

  • When I press the Home button the iPad won't return to the home page. I have to press hard or press down for a long period to get it to change. sometimes I turn it off and on again to be able to access the home page

    When  I press the home button my iPad won't go to he home page. It is as though the button isn't working properly?

    Try this to calibrate your home button:
    Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

    Hi kamalkumar,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. 
    The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • HT1212 home button on ipad

    6 year old son has locked himself out of his Ipad, its asking to reset but is asking to press the "home" button? Where is it ?

    Pressing the Home button will not solve the problem.
    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • Home button on iPad rMini takes 2 tries to work.

    I have a replacement retina iPad mini.  I got it in January, 2014 after shattering the screen in my original. After a month or so I noticed he home button didn't always respond, but the instances were few at the onset.  This is getting progressively worse.  Now it takes 2 solid pushes for it to register.  Although it is very useable now, I feel it will continue to get worse.  The iPad is not damaged in any way.
    Anyway, I have AppleCare and was wondering if anyone thought that Apple may replace it at no charge (which I feel they should) or if they are going to charge me the fee AppleCare charges for a replacement unit. if they charged me, that would be my second strike against 3 replacements.
    has anyone had experience with home button issues and AppleCare?
    Thoughts?

    I guess I spoke too soon. One day has passed since I tried this fix, and although it seemed to fix my problem at first, I have had 2 nonresponsive touches since that point in time. So maybe it's a combination of hardware and software issues but it is still definitely present.
    So back to my original question,
    Do you think that Apple care will charge me or will take care of this at no charge - Anyone?

  • Freezing Home Button on iPad 2

    Had my 64gb wi fi & 3G iPad 2 since launch day on the 25th March. In the last few days I have noticed the home button has started to not respond when pressed, either once or when double clicked! It does seem to be intermittent, but I am certainly not happy with such an expensive piece of kit. Anyone else having a similar problem?

    I'm having the same problem with my 32GB 3G iPad 2. Like you said, the problem is intermittent and very worrying. I've seen quite a few people commenting online that they have also had the same problem. I have no idea whether this is a SW or HW issue but I really hope its SW because it will be really hard for me to get a replacement where I live (Shanghai). I guess I'll have to give Apple a call tomorrow.

  • Calibrate home button from iPad "3"

    How can i calibrate the homebutton of my new ipad "3". Because there is no stocks app like on the iphone.

    http://snapguide.com/guides/calibrate-your-home-button/
    "Stocks" or "Stock"? A stocks app would be a particular application for viewing stock exchange data. A stock app is an app (or one of many apps of different kinds) that comes supplied with an iDevice.

  • Its normal working Home button In IPad Air

  • Home button in ipad not working right :(

    My home button is not working right, sometimes I try to exit an application and won't take me to home screen. :( any suggestions?

    I have had the same problem.  Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. The 4 finger swipe feature in iOS 5 helped, before that I had to constantly restart to get back to the home screen. I have been wondering  if it is a hardware issue, because sometimes it works if I tap lightly in just the right spot-usually upper left cornner. If you find out solutions, please let me know.
