Help me please-ipad screen not working

My ipad screen just randomly went black today, it has never done this before and I have had it for a year and a half now.
When i press the sleep button as if to turn it on there is a dim back light-the background changes from black to a faint blue- but there is hardly a change.
However here's the funny thing, the rest of the ipad is fully functionable. I can unlock the ipad I just have to guess where on the screen the slider is as I cannot see it. I can turn my ipod on and slide the pages so the problem is obviously just the screen.
I have tried turning it off and on again and charging it and plugging it into my computer and holding down the home button and the sleep button for a long period of time to reset my ipad but nothing is working. I desperately need my ipad for work and other things so I was wondering if anyone had experienced this problem before or if anyone could give me some helpful advice it would be much appreciated.
Please help!

If the hard Reset has not cured it you might be best following this link and putting your iPad into Recovery mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097

  • Ipad screen not working :-(

    my ipad sceen isn't broken or got water on it but its not working. I cant even unlock it. its on the lock screen and I cant click on anything and if I try to shut it off I cant swipe the off button, HELP this is the only thing that gets my 1yr to sit and eat

    Try this. 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.

  • Ipad screen not working. what do i do?

    hi,
    my ipad screen just stopped working. i have a 1st generation ipad and i am afraid the apple store won't be able to replace it. do you think they will? is there anything else i can do?
    thank you,

    Do you mean you believe the iPad is working but the display is not showing anything or that your iPad isn't actually working?
    Either way I would try a restart first, hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Power button down at the same time.  The slide to Power Off screen will appear, ignore this and wait for the apple logo to appear and see if you can get it to restart.
    Sometimes you have to hold the buttons down for what seems like a really long time even though this is supposed to do a restart by holding the buttons down for 10-15 seconds.  My wife's iPad had a problem like this and I plugged it in to the charger and held the buttons down for nearly 4 minutes to see what would happen and this cleared up the problem.

  • HT1212 iPad screen not working, how do I access it via itunes

    My Ipad screen went blank but lights up.  Itunes is asking me to enter a password on the ipad but I cant see the screen.  Any way to access the ipad via itunes?

    Have you dropped it lately?
    Flip it screen side down on your lap and give it a good whack on the back.
    It sounds strange but others have had success with it.

  • Help....Screen not working.

    So a couple of weeks ago my IPad 2 went black with some colorful lines across it. I'm not able to see anything on it. It's just black with lines. So my husband replaced the digitizer and that's not the problem. What could it be. My LCD screen?

    Hi there,
    Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

    Let me know if this helps,

  • The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?

    The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?

    I"m going to make the presumption that you've checked the volume and that you don't have it muted. One thing some have suggested is to go into the settings and reset all settings.
    It is kind of a drag because you wil have to retweak everything but it's helped for some.
