Black Screen on Ipad2

I was using the voice over accessibility feature with my son for reading a book using the Kindle App.  He shut my ipad cover, the passcode screen came on, and while attempting to enter my passcode in voice over function (argh, another issue I need assistance with), the screen went black.  The headphones were being used but were not plugged in at the time the screen went black.  I have read other posts and it seems that people have had their screen go black when using the headphones.  Our headphones were not plugged in when it went black.  I have attempted the following: plugged the iPad into my Mac, tapped the back of the iPad near the headphone jack, restarted it a number of times, pushed the home button and on/off switch three times, and to no avail.  The amazing thing is that when I press and hold the home button and on/off button, as if to take a picture, the screen briefly appears.  And when I power it off, the screen goes 'more black', so I can see there is a difference.  Help!  What did I do?

Turn off screen curtain
If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device by pressing volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on.
Try triple-tapping using three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain.

  • Apple icon locked on a black screen on ipad2

    within twenty four hours of upgrading to IOS7 my Ipad2 has locked up with the apple icon intermittantly flashing on and off on a black screen.  I have tried every trick I know to reset the Ipad.  The machine will not show a homescreen, will not show status of battery, nothing.  The battery is now depleted.
    I upgraded to the latest Itunes software immediately following the wifi download of IOS7 -
    Any suggestions?

    Try the following:
    1. Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.
    2. Restore:

  • On my iPad2 I get a black screen when Itry to open FaceTime.  Others can contact me and the camera and audio work.  How do I fix this problem?

    On my iPad2 I get a black screen when I attempt to open Face Time.  Others can contact me and they come in with video and audio.  I can chat with them as well.  Is there a fix for this?  I have verified my email address twice.  I have turned FaceTime on and off several times as well. 
    Thanks,
    Bill

    I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out.  Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.

  • TS3274 My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response.  Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

    My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response.  Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPad fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4060 reset and deleted data on my used a used ipad2 never completes, just black screen.

    Hello all, ive just purchased a used ipad2 wifi 3g model..i have tried to reset and deleted data but it sit's in  black screen for hrs with tiny rotating circle in centre.  After 5hrs I unplugged it and restarted it but is back to previouse owners setting

    I have used Firefox since Firefox 0.7 or 0.9 but may have been 0.5. Seems like it was called something else but my memory is not that great.
    Before that I used Seamonkey and other variations of Mozilla. Before that I used Netscape. I even have/had a CD that I sent off for with the different releases going all the way back to the beginning (I think).
    I was a Mozilla crusader. When I saw someone using IE I would talk to them like they must be dumb until they switched haha. I have converted everyone who is close to me to firefox except my wife and I think she uses IE to irritate me.
    I work on the Internet. I spend no less than 12 hours and up to 18 hours a day with my fingers touching a keyboard that is connected to a computer or phone that is interacting with the Internet. I have Firefox on my Android phone, two laptops and my desktop. All of them crash constantly.
    When it crashes I lose work and time. Not to mention getting big headaches.
    I am very appreciative for the browser and yes I have made money donations. Not saying that makes me good. I look at it more like I am paying for great software.
    I never thought the day would come that I would say no more to Firefox. The day has come.
    When Firefox first came out it was small, good and fast. As time has went on it has become big, bad and slow. I feel like I am turning my back on a good friend but i can't take the crashing any longer.
    I am using Chrome now. Dang I hate to use anything google. Since I can't make my own browser I have to use what's out there and Chrome is fast. Sort of like Firefox used to be... except of course Chrome has all those phone home goodies.
    I won't be trying to convert anyone to Chrome but neither will I try to convert them to Firefox.
    I am not trying to start a flame war or anything here. As nuts as it sounds I felt like I should tell Firefox bye.
    Bye bye Firefox. it was good knowing you

  • IPAD2 black screen answer

    Okay,
    Ipad2, IOS6, Macbook pro 15 10.8.2, latest I tunes
    I have dug throgh the forums, and have not found a direct answer.
    My precious snowflake won't admit to dropping his Ipad, but I suspect he did. We are getting the dreaded black screen.
    Yes we have tried every form of restarting, rebooting, and restoring.  Not a software issue, you can hear and see the screen flash when you do a screen shot. So this is probably a hardware issue.
    My question is, what hardware? Can it be a loose connection? Is there some sort of video board?

    maybe just the LCD Display?

    Did you try restarting it by holding down the hold and lock button at the same time until you get the apple logo?  If you already tried that then you should try putting it in DFU mode and doing a restore by following these instructions- http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
