IPad Mini screen completely bare

I have the iPad Mini and my 19 month son uses it, while he plays with it sometimes the entire screen goes completely blank. I literally have to turn it off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. Then all his apps and the screen and pages will appear. Even after I clear off all his played apps, the screen will be blank until I turn it off and turn it back on. It's EXTREMELY ANNOYING and I NEED HELP!

You may want to try a device reset before doing anything else. It's known to correct very odd issues and may help in your case.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • IPad mini screen problems

    A section of my brand new iPad minis screen keeps going blank, black or extremely pixelated though the screen sensor still works in that area. It used to come and go but currently it seems to be permanent. What to do????

    Doesn't matter where you bought it, it's still covered by Apple's 1-year warranty.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • IPad mini screen problem

    A small part of my iPad Mini screen is unresponsive. that  part is like a horizontal strip ran acrosa my iPad. sometimes it magically heal itself but most of the time it is unresponsive.

    The only thing I can thing of remotely similar is in Guided Access where you can turn off parts of the screen. Next time it happens try triple cloicking the home button to turn Guided Access off. If triple clicking doesn't help it sounds like time for a visit to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.

  • Hi, i just shocked when i recognized, my Ipad mini screen full of scratches,

    Hi, i just shocked when i recognized, my Ipad mini screen full of scratches, after playing Virtual table tennis app...I have a griffin hard cover, and i always keep in safe my staff, ...so I did the scratches with my neal...wich i think is abnormal, in this case....
    I saw a few youtube videos and they try to make scratches with key...andsoon...
    So what can I do it now....??
    Anybody have an experience like this..?????

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How do i fix a scratch on iPad mini screen?

    IS there any product I can buy to repair a small scratch on my iPad mini screen?

    You can either put a screen protector over it and ignore it, pay the $219+ for an out of warranty replacement or if you have apple care plus, cash in one of your $49 dollar accidental damage events and get a replacement.

  • My ipad mini screen is broken

    I lent on my ipad mini screen in the bottom corner and now there are loads of vertical and horizontal lines on the screen which block the view. Would this be an LCD replacement or external glass replacement. Does anyone have any experience of this and how did they fix the ipad.

    It will cost you approximately US$250.00 to US$300.00
    Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

  • My ipad mini screen will not slide to unlock

    My IPad mini screen will not unlock. It was fine one minute and the next, I couldn't slide it to unlock it.

    Does anything happen when you touch the screen, the slider doesn't get a box around it (which would indicate VoiceOver being 'on') ?
    If not then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hi Deeveeay,
    Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). When the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue has resolved itself.

  • Why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

    why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

    My Ipad 3 is the same, it must be a design fault cuz I dropped a pound coin on my ipad screen and it shattered and every other week there's a new dent or scratch, though I wouldn't say I'm overly rough with it. I use it a lot, like most do, so accidents will happen and Apple hav to allow for that. I deffently wouldn't say that they are worth the money for the amount of trouble they cause, they r great devices, just far too delicate and expensive!
