IPad (iPad 1) screen blank

Hi,
The screen on my ipad (the original ipad 16g version) which I bought in 2010 is blank and will not come on. Anybody with ideas for fixing this??
Thanks,
an upset ipad fanatic.

I'm assuming it is charged.
To start off I would be sure you charge it, for testing, with the wall power adapter, not over a USB connection. If there is any question about the power adapter or cable, I would swap them out. They you should take a look at this kb.

IPad 2 Mail Screen Blank

When I open my mail application on my new iPad2 (64GB wifi), the screen is effectively blank and none of the small icons in the window are responsive to touch. If I try to access the mailbox setting through the settings menu my iPad semi-freezes. What can I do to access my mail again, as this is a key feature I need! Help!

You can start with these steps to see if they help.
Basic Troubleshooting
These are basic steps you can try if apps suddenly quit on you or if the your IPad starts to behave erratically. Quite often these simple fixes will resolve your issue.
Quit the app by double tapping the home button to bring up the multitasking/recents tray at the bottom, hold down on any of the app icons in the tray until all the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the corner to quit the offending app or apps. Try your app again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, find your app, and tap the icon to relaunch.
Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch the app again and see what happens.

AirPlay stops working when iPad screen blanks

I found that after upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and Apple TV to iOS 4.4 AirPlay video no longer continues in the background. When I move away from the iPad 2 app that is steaming to the TV or the iPad 2 locks itself (screen blanks), the Apple TV stops playing the video. This worked fine before the iOS updates.

I have exactly the same issue with iPad2/OS 5.0.1 and Apple TV 2/OS 4.4.3(3323), it happens with all video applications and browsers in both cases, e.g. auto locking or swithing to another application.
The issue doesn't happen before I upgrade to iOS 5, this really *****, it makes the Airplay completely useless!
I can't believe this stupid bug doesn't be found by the QA tests, they're making cool features like Airplay Mirror, but they made Airplay unable to use at the same time.
I wish it could be fixed in 5.0.1 update but "NO", so now I would have to wait for 5.0.2. I really hope somebody in Apple's engineering team is looking at this forum and post, since this is the first time I'm posting here and I don't hope it unresponded...

Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter. I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly. Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA. Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

My iPad only has a blank screen, it will not open at all. I tried to restore and that did nothing. I am not sure how to proceed. It is charged.

My iPad only has a blank screen. If you press the two buttons to try to get it to restart all you get is a faint light for al few seconds and then it goes back to a black screen. I did try to restore by hooking up to my mac, but I still have nothing.

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. 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 device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Hold those buttons a long time before letting them go. Also it might be best to leave the iPad on the charger overnight before resetting it.
If this doesn't work, it's time to make an appointment at an Apple store for a Consultation.

I dropped my iPad and the screen went blank. I cannot get it to come back on.

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. If that does not work you need to take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar to have it evaluated by the technicians.

Tapping iPad (3) causes screen to blank out

My iPad(3/iOS~6+) has a really weird behavior: If I tap it in certain ways that are a little hard to describe -- for example, puttig ti down on a table, even really gently -- the screen blanks out! It still seems to be backlit, but nothing shows up on it. The machine is still on; the sound works fine and siri answers and works fine, but the screen is simply black! The only way to get it back on it to either hard-boot it, or, interestingly, to close and then re-open the magnetic cover. Is it possible that whatever it is that the magnetic cover triggers has become loose and is triggering when I tap it in certain ways? What should I do? Should I have the screen replaced?

6.1.2 update bricked my iPad Mini - White Screen of Death

I updated to 6.1.2 over wireless. Shortly after, I noticed the battery was draining extremely fast. I followed a suggestion I found here to let the battery drain to 0 and to reset my settings under Settings>General. When the battery was about 50%, I shut it down completely as I wasn't using it and so that it would charge faster (not using battery on standby, etc).
I let it charge for about 4 or 5 hours. When I turned it back on, I got a bright, solid white screen and then it shut off... or so I thought. The device remains warm, as though it was in regular use, but the display is OFF - NOT blank, OFF.
It will not go into Restore or DFU mode, it will not turn back on, it will not do anything.
Waiting on an Apple call in the morning, but once it is replaced, I doubt I will purchase another Apple product, considering the sickening irony that my iPad was functioning fine prior to the update and the VERY UPDATE MEANT TO IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE ACTUALLY KILLED MINE to begin with.
I have very weak faith in Apple at the moment.

Guys, my ipad mini just had the exact same issue yesterday.
It was recently updated (about 1 week ago) to 6.1.2 and since yesterday it just turned into a brick (black screen, no reaction whatsoever,...) .
I tried different chargers & different USB-ligthning cables without any result. Somehow it seems the battery does not have any juice anymore and won't charge either.
My bad luck was that 4 months ago my daughter had the ipad mini dropped on the floor and the screenglass has a small crack. It did not affect any functionality and still worked fine untill yesterday. I went to an official apple store and they told me that the warranty doesn't count on the complete ipad since the screen is cracked/damaged.
Explaining that the crack had nothing to do with the current issue we have did not help.
Now I'm standing here with a 6-month old product which has no warranty and is as death as a brick.
Thanks to Apple!

Now the Apple logo is gone .How do i open the ipad now the screen is black

Now the Apple logo is gone .How do i open or unlock my ipad?the screen is black now

Is the iPad password protected? If not, and in the absence of more information, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

IPad 2 Touch Screen haywire?

A problem has recently come up with my iPad 2. I've had it for almost a year and half now. All of the sudden it's been acting odd. The screen seems to think that something is using the screen I.e. opening apps, multitasking, and typing on the keyboard. However, I'm not touching the screen at all. The behavior is extremely erratic and renders the product pretty much useless. Now, I have tried fixing the problem several times with a hard reset (lock and home buttons), as well as a restore and while there was a period for a few hours where it worked but then the problem resurfaced. Is there anything anyone can suggest?
