Ipad 2 screen has gone black. Restored it to factory settings
Ipad 2 screen went black,. Voice over was on so I was able to turn off findiphone. Connected it to the itunes store and was able to restore it to factory settings. It lasted 1 day & went black again. Voice over is off so I was unable to turn off findiphone. Cannot restore to factory settings unless findiphone is turned off. I cannot turn off the app because the screen is black. I have tried holding down the home button and the off key until the apple appears. The home screen appears for about one second and then goes black again. What now???
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 - let go of the buttons.

My ipad 2 screen has gone black
My ipad 2 screen has gone black. The only thing that shows is the circular processing icon. I have tried turning it off and on and it won't even do that. Any ideas? Thank you!

I recently updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 8. Yesterday I was playing Candy Crush Saga (No sniggering) and put it down to do something else.
I returned to find the screen had gone black, but was still illuminating. Tried to wake it up, but with no success. I then tried holding the power and front button together for up to 30 seconds to try and reset it. This didn't work, although power to the screen cycles from off black, to illuminated black whilst trying this.
I then connected it to my laptop and downloaded IOS 8.0.2 on the laptop and transferred it to the iPad. Got a warning that this wasn't successful as the iPad was locked and needed its passcode put in. Obviously couldn't do this as I can't see anything on the screen. Pressed the retry option on the laptop and it seemed to work. This still didn't unfreeze the iPad which still shows a black screen.
I then tried doing a factory reset on it from the laptop, got the the same passcode error message, retried and was told on the laptop that the reset had been successful. I still can't get a screen on the iPad however. laptop shows the iPad to be 100% charged.
I've looked through the help files and tried connecting it to a power source, the hold both buttons to reset trick and a factory reset, all to no avail. I had a similar problem a week ago, but that was resolved when I plugged it into the mains.
It's only 18 months old and has been well treated, and as it was working when I last left it so can anyone helop me get my iPad working again?Is the battery empty ? If it is then it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond.
And by had reset do you mean pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons ? If so then how long did you hold them for - it can take up to 10 to 15 seconds. -
My Ipad 2 Screen Has Gone Black and All The Suggested Solutions Arent Working!
Last night, I went round to my friends. he doesn't live far from me so I walked. Before I set off I put my Ipad 2 in my bag. When I got to my friends, I took it out and the screen only showed black. I didn't know what to do so I attempted a few common things, tapping it, charging it and resetting it using the home and lock button. But nothing worked. I looked for a solution on this sight and I haven't had any luck. There was a suggestion where I was to restore the Ipad, I tried it. Before then, my Ipad ran on IOS 7.1.2 I think. But it required me to update to the current software. I updated the Ipad but as it was about to finish restoring, there was a problem and everything stopped. At this point its really begging to test my patience as I spend around 6-8 hours a day using it for work and emails and without it theres little much I can do. Is there anyone who has had similar issues? I just don't understand how it ended up like this within the space of 20 minutes. Also theres the issue of restoring all the back up data, I cannot recover anything if the screen refuses to respond!
I Have a similar problem. My iPad screen will not respond to touch. If I tough the start button a message appears that says slide to unlock, but will not respond to my touch. If I touch the on/off key a message says slide to power off, but the screen will not respond to my touch. What must I do?

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. -

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!
When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

My iPad 3 screen has gone completely black and does not respond
MY iPad 3 screen has gone completely blank (blacked out) and does not respond to either of the power buttons.

I'm trying to backup my iphone and restore it because the screen has gone black. It won't allow me to do anything without putting in the passcode. I can't put in the passcode because the screen is black.
Try rebooting it (hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds). If the display doesn't come back to life, you're out of luck. You're supposed to back it up before it fails. It's too late to do so after the fact.
