HT1212 my gen 3 ipad has suddenly gone dark and i cant turn it on! what did i do wrong and what should i do to correct this?

I inherited a 3rd gen iPad recently and reconfigured it with a new passcode etc. I used it earlier today without any problem then turned it off and set it to charge. When I disconnected the cord and pressed the wake also switch it opened to the passcode screen. Before I had entered three of the many letters of my pass code the screen went dark and I can not get it to come on again. What have I done and what do I do now???

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    My ipod touch gen 4 screen has suddenly gone black, i tried resetting it and the white apple symbol suddenly appears then goes black again, restoring it to factory setting and updating it but it hasnt changed any assistance would be greatly appecited

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    you should probably charge it.  Plug it into the wall charger and let it sit overnight.  Then hold both the crown and side buttons together while it's charging for 10 seconds or more and it should turn on.

    Or you could include a width to your body style:
    body {
    background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
    background-position: center center;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    width: 75%;}
    It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

  • My iPad has suddenly gone to the White Screen of Death.

    I have tried resetting, plugging into my Mac and going back to factory settings, all of the factory instructions have been tried. Tried holding the home buttton with the sleep button and even the up button. Nothing, absolutely nothing has worked. Getting the "error 37" when trying to reload the iPad. What now?

    Let the battery drain.

  • My ipod nano 7th gen has suddenly gone black and it wont turn on or connect to a power source.

    I was listening to my ipod nano 7th gen when it went black and the music stopped playing.  It wont turn on when i press the power button and when i connect it up to charge the screen doesn't turn on.  Can anyone tell me how to turn it on again or give me suggestions. 
    Much appriciated,
    MissC@t

    Hey MissC@t,
    Although the following article says 6th generation, most of the troubleshooting steps should still apply to your 7th generation nano. I'd go through the troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue:

  • My screen has suddenly gone black and doesnt respond to anything

    Hi all,
    Last night my screen suddenly went black, however the phone is still on as it vibrates when I ring it.
    Ive tried the master reset but it wont actually turn off. Ive also restored the OS and its still faulty.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you restore "as new iphone", without using the backup to restore from afterwards?
    Also try this, mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    1 Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    2 Turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    3 While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.

  • Font size in yahoo mail has suddenly shrunk, not the emails but inbox list etc. Only in Firefox, not Safari etc. How can I correct this

    When I opened Yahoo mail from Firefox the font size suddenly shrunk and I can hardly read it. Font size in emails not affected. Inbox, sent list etc are all much smaller.
    No problem when using Safari.
    I note from internet forums that others have had this problem.

    I have same problem like you!
    This problem comes from suck Hardware accelerate of Firefox5.0
    Let's turn off Hardware accelerate in browser
    Option>Advanced> Tab General> Unchecked use hardware accelerate when available>OK
    After that closing Firefox
    That is!
