Dropped iPad back screen turned red

My iPad fell off of a shelf and the black light turned red on the screen I was devastated! After looking up on the internet what people with this similar issue have done most said to just try dropping it again and worked for many. I first dropped it at about 2feet w/ case on flat, but the screen was still messed up, then I tried dropping it at 2 feet by the corner of the iPad at that did the trick! I am so thankful I dont have to junk this one, thanks iPad forum :)

If your black light screen is now red from dropping your iPad, then try dropping it from about 2 feet on one of the bottom corners( there are 4 corners on the iPad) so it will be a tiled vertical drop.. So don't just drop it flat on the ground. And try to do it on a carpeted or rubber surface for less impact. Also leave the case on so there is no exterior damage

    what to do if ipad 2 screen turne red

    I have seen this posted a number of times and a number of users claim that it works. Smack the iPad firmly on the back - don't whack it.  See if that helps. Be careful and lay it on your lap securely and make sure that it is not in danger of falling .... Please!
    You can do a search for yourself and find this discussion, but that is what I have seen anyway.

  • My iPad screen turned red

    My iPad screen turned red all of a sudden. I don't know what to do but I'm freaking out! I've tried slapping the back of my iPad but it still doesn't work! This is the second time it's happened.
    Please help!

    I assume the iPad was dropped. It will need to be repaired or replaced.

  • Ipad Screen turn red

    why my ipad 2 screen become red? but sometime ok sometime be come red screen? so what can i do?

    You can try resetting it, hold down the sleep and home key, past the red slider, and until you see the silver apple and it restarts.
    may/may not help. Beyond that, make an appointment at your local apple store because it's possible that the iPad's equivalent of a graphics card has issues. Time for hte pros to take a look.

  • My back screen is red with white apple sign, and apps are blurry, anyone else have/had issues?

    My back screen is red with a white apple, apps are blurry, has anyone else had this issue?

    Did you drop your iPad or bang it against a hard surface maybe? It seems to me like it's a hardware issue. But anyway, try a reset and see if that helps at all - assuming that you didn't drop the device that is.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If it's a hardware issue, it can't be fixed, but in order to determine what it is for sure, you may need to make an appointment at an Apple Store and have the iPad evaluated.

  • IPad's screen turned pink and flashing

    All of a sudden, my iPad's screen turned pink. Tried resetting but did not help. The screen is now red/pink-ish and flashing. I, of course, did not drop it or anything like that.
    Is this a hardware problem? is it fixable by a user?

    I just had mine replaced and it is betterr than the original.
    Holds the 3G signal better.
    i bought one as soon as they came out, so there is probably a bit of a higher failure rate for the first models.
    You are basically getting a new one and you have a year from the purchase to extend the warranty.
    I would not give up my Ipad.
    I look at laptops now and they seems like dinosaurs.

  • My iphone 4S screen turns red and dim

    hi everyone
    i have an issue on my iphone 4S display. The screen turns red sometimes brown and I can barely see the text and the icon of eact app. It basically dims as well. I tried to reboot it, still doesnt work.
    please help me to overcome this.
    Thank you
    iphone 4s ios 8.1

    Howdy Atika Azmi,
    If your phone screen is still intermitently changing color and dimming, I would next reset the phone with these steps:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Test the issue out for a bit and if it persists, I would next backup and restore the phone with iTunes and re test:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Screen turns red

    When ever I try to edit some movies I get Red scratches or just giant red flashes(screen turns red) over my film and in some parts it just stops rendering or playing half way through the film.
    The files were .MOD, but I rename them to .mpg and they are off of an SD card.
    Why is it doing this? It doesn't do this with my videos that are not formerly .MOD.

    >Why is it doing this? It doesn't do this with my videos that are not >formerly .MOD.
    Well, you answer your own question: MOD is a MPEG derivative not properly supported by AE and/ or your system CoDecs. There's realyl nothing you can do but use other file format conversion tools or wait for CS4.

  • Screen turns red when dark

    My wonderful little Indigo iMac 400mhz slot load is acting funny. When there is too much darkness on the screen, such as a dark picture that takes up a majority of the screen, it seems to turn red. Its as if the computer sees the darkness as a problem at tries to correct it by turning the screen reddish. Any ideas?

    Nah, there is nothing wrong, you just need to calibrate it...

  • Dropped ipad black screen

    Dropped my iPad from bottom drawer- not more than a foot. Now will not turn on. Slight blue/black light showing, but blank screen.  Anything I can do other than taking in to repair?

    You could try a reset and see if that makes any difference : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. If that doesn't work then yes, you will probably need to contact Apple
