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

  • Original iPad black screen spinning

    I still have my original ipad and it is stuck on the black screen with a spinner. I tried pressing the two buttons which will show a black screen with an apple but then revert back to the black screen with a spinner. I tried connecting it to my Macbook Pro and kept getting the error "itunes could not connect to this ipad. could not save the pairing record'
    any ideas or is it dead?

    Hey there livvylove2000,
    It sounds like your iPad keeps getting to this screen with the spinning wheel on it and you cannot even restore it. Resetting the device by holdign the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons is where I would have started as well. Next I would put the iPad into Recovery Mode with this article, to see if that then allows the iPad to be restored and used again:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • 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

  • TS3274 dropped ipad now screen doesn't display

    My daughter dropped her ipad and now the screen doesn't display anything.  We can see some light changes but nothing else.  It appears that the screen can still be touched to use apps because we are able to play music.  Any suggestions on what we should do?

    Not sure if you've fixed this, but it really works.  After reading similar advice, I banged it on the corner of my couch and the display totally came back clear as day.  Could not read it before.

  • Ipad: black screen when battery has charge

    Some months ago, somebody walked on my friend's ipad 2 (model A1395 16GB) and broke the digitizer. The ipad was working with the touchscreen broken. It was then left untouhed for 2 or 3 months. My friend learned that I know a bit about electronics and computer and was capable and willing to help do a straight digitizer swap. She then bought the kit online and I have replaced the digitizer for her. 
    The problem now is this:
    - when the battery is empty and I plug the ipad in the mains and press the home button, the screen shows for a few seconds, in the middle on a blue background, the empty battery with 3 red lines at the bottom. So the screen is woring, OK?
    - wrong! When I come back after having waited for the battery to charge (wether it is 30 minutes, 2 hours or 24 hours), pressing the home the first time give me a kind of explosion or passing wave of light on the screen, lasting less than a second, then the screen stays black. No matter how many times I press the home button afterwards, the backlights light up but the screen remains black.
    - after reading a few forums, I have tried the "spanking" method, or the way I do it it is the "light tapping" method, getting progressively stronger but always controlled (it's not my ipad). Of all the sisty or seventy taps I must have made at different times, I got a result only once: for 1 or 2 seconds I saw a screen (I think blue but can't be certain) with a turning circle in the middle. I think it was a circle made of dashes but I can't be sure, it was so brief! It was definitely animated though!
    I don't screen the screen is broken, because it displays perfectly the empty battery logo.
    What could happens that means the screen does not display when the battery is charged? Has anybody got any ideas?

    Hi Skydiver,
    so is there a different circuit for power when the batteries are not working?  I am just wondering why the screen work in that instance.
    It seems as if we should have sent the ipad back to Apple straight away. It seems simple enough to change the digitizer though...
    Should I try now to change the battery? We seem to have nothing to loose.

  • HT201412 ipad black screen and nonresponsive

    I was using my ipad when the screen froze for a few seconds and then it scrambled and went black. It appears to still be on but will not respond to anything. I even tried plugging it in to itunes. The on/off button does not work.

    Have you tried a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • Mini ipad black screen and wont start even after reset

    My mini ipad went black. I tried pressing power button and home button simultaneously for more then 10 seconds and didn't work. Tried plug onto a charger for more then 10 minutes also didn't work. Tried both simultaneously also didn't work. Thanks for any assistance. Btw, my check with apple websites said the mini ipad is no longer under warranty.

  • HT204291 Airplay w iPad , Black screen on TV worked , fine yesterday?

    Will not mirror tv screen goes black when mirroring is turned. Work fine yesterday.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Beeping after dropped and black screen

    the ram probably became dislodged.  Take it somewhere to have it looked at so they can assess the full extent of the damage.

  • Ipad black Screen display problem?

    Having a problem today. My iPad fell off my desk (with its case on) and when I picked it up & tried to unlock it i was completely black. I connected it to itunes and did a reset but it's still black it actually talks now and any kind of display or the apple logo appears very briefly (like a second or less) but disappears ?

    You could always try the general steps of restarting, resetting, and then trying to restore but Im thinking that this is most likely a hardware issue so you'd be better off visiting an Apple Store first to see what a Genius rep thinks it could be.

  • Will apple replace my ipad if i dropped it and screen gets black light, will apple replace my ipad if i dropped it and screen gets black light

    will apple replace my ipad if i dropped it and screen gets black light, will apple replace my ipad if i dropped it and screen gets black light?

    Not unless you've got accidental damage cover on it with Apple and I don't think that's even covered with Applecare - if you have that then check with them directly.
    Otherwise you may need to see if you can claim for it under your house contents insurance.
