Ipad just went black

I was browsing the web on my ipad and it went to sleep. I pressed the home button to turn the ipad back on and nothing happened. My ipad won't turn back on. What can I do?

If it shut down because of low battery level, then you just plug it in and let it recharge. You'll be able to see and hear it waking up again.
If not due to low battery, then try a Reset on your iPad, or any of the other recommended steps in the Tips & Troubleshooting section of your User's Guide.
Reset — Press & hold both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds, until white Apple logo appears, then let the rest of the boot process continue.

  • My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. What do I need to do?

    My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. I am very careful with it. What do I do now?

    Plug it into an electrical outlet let it sit a few minutes. Then try performing a hard reset, by holding the home button and the lock buttons at the same time until an apple logo appears.

  • My iPad just went black and the black travels up and down or side to side and I can't force it to close I don't get the red bar what's going on

    My IPad just went blank/black/gray sometimes lines cannot force close as the red bar does not come up
    The blank screen color travels up and down or side to side
    What is causing this
    Either way when plug in or not the battery level is at 70%

    Try this.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My mini ipad just went black? can't turn it off or anything

    my ipad mini just went black, no nothing, just a blank screen.
    what do i do?

    If there is nothing showing on the iPad's screen, then assuming that its battery isn't empty then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear and it will boot up - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Try resetting ...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I have had this problem several times. The iPad comes off charging with a black screen and only a hard reset works to get it back.  Then you have to go to settings to be sure nothing changed there.   
    I have had serveral hard resets and three restore operations and the problem recurs.  I am not sure if it is the iPad2 or an app that is causing the problem.   So far I can live with it as is.

    This exact same thing happened to me too yesterday and trying what you said has just fixed it right now! Lucky I happened to come across this discussion while looking for a solution and has saved me a trip to Genius Bar tonight.
    Thanks very much for the solution!
    This problem has never happened before and I have just updated to iOS 7.0.3 about 2 weeks ago, so wondering if it may be an iOS 7 issue...

    Heres another tip: Is your ipad freezing up or crashing ? try closing all your open programs by double tapping the home button and hold your finger on one of the open apps and they will start to shake and a red minus sign will appear at the top of each app. click the minus sign on each app to close each app. The first time I did this i had 40 apps goung at the same time.
    Thinking that all of the apps displayed in that tray are open and running is a common misconception. In fact, what you are looking at is the Multitasking (MT) Tray, sometimes also referred to as the Recents Tray, and is an ordered list of those apps which were last opened. Very very few of those apps will be multitasking capable and not all of those will actually still be open and doing something in the background. Obvious examples of those working would be a music app still playing, while common examples of not opened but displayed would be, well ...... with a few exceptions, pretty much everything else.
    That said, it is a corrective action for a hung or crashing app as what you are describing is one of the two ways to Force Quit an application; by going through and deleting all of them you actually will also do this and might fix whatever the issue is. However, the app causing the problem is normally going to be at the very top of the apps displayed in the MT Tray.

  • I have a 30 inch monitor on my mac pro tower that just went black, what do I do to fix it?

    I have a 30 inch monitor on my mac pro tower that just went black, how can I get it back on?

    He's asking what are those things you are using, i.e., ...
    What video card are you using?
    What version of OSX are you using?
    What model of mac pro are you using (e.g., 2010 Mac Pro is 5,1).
    And also,
    Try smc and pram reset.
    And see if the monitor lites up if you boot in safe mode.
    It is possible your monitor simply failed -- its power supply or something else.

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.
