HT1212 My Ipad 2 has a rising gray block repeating on the screen, and nothing else

I'm trying to restore my ipad, which suddenly began only displaying a gray block which rises from the bottom of the screen to about halfway before repeating, while the rest of the screen is dark. I can't access anything or enter my passcode since the screen does not display any field or discernable keypad any longer, so I can't do a restore from iTunes, since the last computer I synced with is long gone and every new one demands I enter the passcode on the device itself. How do I fix this?

Tried a reset?
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Otherwise, it's probably time to take the iPad in for service > Apple - Find Locations

Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Upgraded my iPad with the iOS 8.3 software. This morning, the iPad has low battery, even though it was plugged into the power source. It's now plugged in, but I don't think it's charging. I have a black screen and nothing else! Any thoughts? Thanks

My iPad was upgraded to iOS 8.3 software while plugged in. This morning, the battery is almost dead, and I have a black screen. Not sure the iPad is even charging! Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks.

The update is iOS 8.1.3 not iOS 8.3.
Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

You said: "I looked up 1611 and it says a bunch of random things that have nothing to do with my problem."
Why do you think that?
From that search, did you read: "
Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."

To solve another problem, I need to reset my user agent. But when I type about:config in the address bar, all I get is a Firefox window that has the text "config" on the page and nothing else. No text or fields or ANYTHING. What can i do short of unins

Firefox 3.6.3
Windows XP
Otherwise browses OK.

Does your device have a full charge? Often if you give it a full charge, that will fix the problem
If that doesn't work, plug it into itunes and run any updates that may be available.
Let me know if we are still broken after this.

You need to restore the iPad.

Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

If that still didn't fix the issue, then there is probably a hardware problem.

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Update on the Fafard class action lawsuit involving the cancelled Itunes gift cards here:
http://www.courthousenews.com/2014/04/22/67224.htm
Apparently, although complaint there suggested involved Best Buy only, it was the intermediary used by Apple that cancelled the cards not either Best Buy or Apple itself. Settlement would reinstate (make active) old gift cards.
