IPad fell down and now screen is all black!

Hello!
I'm using the iPad 2nd Generation and my daughter dropped it on the floor this morning. The screen turned black. I tried the hard reset (home + power off for 10 seconds) and it's still not working. I plugged it into the usb port of my computer and iTunes is recognising the iPad but it's asking me for the passcode before letting access. Thing is, I cannot see anything on the ipad.
Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you in advance for your input.

The reboot, or reset as you tried, will sometimes bring the screen back but not always. If holding both the power and home buttons does not result in the apple logo appearing in about a minute, the device needs to be taken to the Apple store genius bar to have the technicians test and see if there is a failure in the screen/digitizer.

What should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning

Up to you whether you want to get it serviced. If you don't, I'd suggest putting on a screen protector to help hold the screen together and try to prevent further damage. It's likely that it will eventually fail at some point, but you could get lucky and have it continue to work for quite some time.
If you decide you want to get it serviced, Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair". You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.

My iphone 4s fell down and now it won't open

Hello! So, my iPhone 4s fell down and now it won't open. I've tried to turn it on by holding simultaneously the home and lock button but nothing happens. I've plugged it in to its charger but all it does is vibrating constantly. Any suggestions?

Could be hardware damage.
Take your iPhone in for service.

I can't turn it off, and when i connect it to itunes, it doesn't display

Try putting the iPad in restore mode and see if iTunes recognizes it. The steps are below:
Turn your iPad off.
Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the Home button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.
Click on Restore iPad

Ipod fell down and now not recognisable

My ipod fell down and now when I connect to my computer it doesnt show up in itunes or in "My Computer" as well. But it is asking me to reformat the ipod.
How do I get around this? If I reformat I guess I will lose all the songs in there and I dont even have back up of those songs (almost 15GB of songs)

Does the iPod itself turn on and work? Did you try resetting it?

Iphone 4 got a text and now it is all black and vibrating constantly

I just got my 4 set up and it was setting on the table and I heard a text and then the thing just started in a constant vibrate with no screen response. It sounds like it is going to blow up. I have tried to turn it off and get no response. It has been in constant vibration for 10 minutes now. I cannot shut it off. Itunes doesnt see it and cannot power it off. and it is getting hot. It is like a virus came through the text and started this. I had a full charge and seems like I will have to wait it out till the battery goes dead from the full charge it had. Any ideas?????

try this...
1) Start iTunes and plug the phone in.
2) With the phone powered on, hold both the POWER and HOME buttons for
seven seconds. The screen should turn black.
3) Wait two seconds while the screen is black and release the POWER button
while still holding the HOME button.
4) The screen will remain black, but after a few more seconds iTunes will
detect the phone in recovery mode.
5) Release the HOME button and proceed to restore firmware with iTunes.

Please please help My iPad fell down and i broke the glass..... what should i do?? can i repair it?? in India??

Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. You will need to contact an authorized Apple service center in India. See this web page:

My iphone fell down and now the home button is not working well and the phone is making calls itself?

i already updated my phone and download he latest version of itunes. The Siri is turned off and the voice control appers alone and start makiing calls itself. please help me!!

It's pretty clear your Home button is becoming easily stuck in the active position, causing Siri to activate and, based on what it hears, make calls.
You need to hand the phone in and get it fixed. Shouldn't cost you too much. Try to find an Apple Authorised Repair Centre in the first instance. Follow this link and choose your country to see if there's one nearby.
HTH.

I downloaded a tv show that when I try play on Ipad it skips like a scratched DVD and now screen is black, what should I do?

Ihave downloaded a tv show and when I try to play on my ipad it skipped and then screen has gone black. What should I do?

If the Videos app is now 'frozen then try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

The screen is all black

Hello, i just wan't to know why when i plug my iPod with the white cable the screen on the iPod doesn't turn on and the screen goes all black but it's all charged and when i put it in my speakers it works fine, please !HELP¡

@oneyrufeofipadthendies,
We believed too warranty was 1 year, but it turned out being 2 years.
But you warranty is country and store specific, it could vary from no warranty to 3 years warranty.
So you could check the store's site to check if warranty is still valid.

I dropped my ipad 2 and now screen is green

I dropped my ipad 2 and now screen is green. ipad 2 Wi-Fi 16GB.

I dropped my iPad today and immediately the screen was completely distorted. Colors changed, images fuzzy, slow as can be, very hard to turn off or turn on. I googled my problem and came to the https://discussions.apple.com site to read what I should do. Not surprisingly, other people had this same problem. What is INCREDIBLE is the way they suggested to resolve it. I was hesitant at first but since SEVERAL people all said that it worked, I figured to give it a try. A few people suggested SLAPPING THE BACK OF THE IPAD, NOT GENTLY, BUT FIRMLY. A few good slaps and it looked a bit better. Then my husband decided to DROP THE IPAD FROM ABOUT 2 FEET IN THE AIR ONTO THE CARPET, in a totally horizontal position. THE SCREEN IS NOW PERFECT!!
For the last 2 or three weeks, the iPad has been very slow to load my apps, turning on and shutting down. AS SOON AS I DROPPED THE IPAD, as described above, THE IPAD IS FAST, FAST, FAST.
I know, it sounds ridiculous that this should work, but it did. I am certain that an Apple techie would never suggest this as a solution, but I swear to you, this has worked.

IPad fell down and now screen is all black!
