How do I troubleshoot an ipad screen that goes black or displays crazy white lines?

My Ipad has recently gone dark. when I reset it using the power/home thing it sometimes displays white lines that appear to be crossing he screen really really fast. I cant get my ipad working.....

IT looks like that is not a software issue but more on the hardware. are you covered by limited warranty or apple care? If you are you can bring it to the apple store for repair. Else you might be paying for an out of warranty repair. However, diagnosis is free so you can still go there for a free diagnostic test. It might be a display/ screen issue

Try starting your iMac with the original DVD that came with the machine then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive.

HT4085 How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and side button on screen don't work? My cats do these things and the game disappears.

How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.

The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.

an unprotected wifi network brings up the log in screen that goes to the apple home page. how do I prevent this?

This seems to be the best working option (while not 100% success):
From Demo:
Try this.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How do I reset used ipad mini that has previous owner apple id in it?

How do I reset used ipad mini that still has previous owners apple id in it?

Where is the id showing ? If the previous owner left it tied to his/her account in Settings > iCloud and has Find My iPad enabled on that screen then you will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the iPad from their account - it will need his account's password to log out directly on the iPad, or he can do it via http://www.icloud.com

You have to restore the iPad using one of the methods in here.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering ...
You will need to use Find My iPhone in iCloud.com in order to erase your device and unlock it so that you can use it again. See the very end of the article.
This is copied from the article.
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.
