Ipad mini screen fades away each time i power it on

My ipad mini first gen keeps turning off but not like a normal unexpected power off instead the screen fades away and to get to turn back on i have to hold powet button and home. i tried a software restore but no luck, i think its a battery problem.

I'm not a hardware expert and I don't think anyone here is either. However, if it was the battery, I think that you would see other signs of battery problems such as inconsistent charging, the device not holding a charge, and things like that. Maybe it's a short, but I would have no way of knowing that either. Why don't you contact iPad repair support and explain it to them.

If this was my iPad, I would make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to take a look at the iPad. It is much easier to book a Genius Bar appointment if you use the Apple Store app.

  • My ipad mini screen is broken and i still have the service coverage. Will they fix it for me ?

    My ipad mini screen is broken. I bought it in Orlando in Febuary and when i last checked my status, my service coverage is still active but my technical support is not does it mean if i bring it in december they will be able to fix the screen for me or will i have to ay for the fix ?

    Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty unless you have Apple Care+ which allows for two incidents ofa ccidental damage and there is a $49 copay for each incident. You do not have Apple Care+ so this would not be covered for you.
    If you are saying that the screen broke on its own, you would have to convince Apple that it happened that way.
    Apple offers an out of warranty iPad replacement with a refurbished device and the cost starts at $249.00 in the U.S. for an iPad 1. Apple does not repair iPads at this time, they offer these replacement devices. You can read more about it here.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Ipad mini screen keeps moving around and switching screens as though someone else is using it? any ideas what is going on?

    Ipad mini screen keeps moving around as though someone else is fiddling with it while I am using it. Any ideas what is goi g on?

    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.
    Cheers,

  • My iPad mini screen won't rotate

    Why my ipad min screen won't rotate.

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, swipe up from the bottom to get to the control center. Look for the lock icon in the row of icons at the top. It will be the last one on the right. Check that to see if the screen is locked.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    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 button

  • What is the best way to clean the iPad mini screen?

    What is the best way, recommended by Apple to clean the Ipad Mini screen (ie: type of paper or cloth and what solution) ?

    It's a damp soft cloth. Like a microfiber cloth you'd see for eyeglass cleaning. Damp, not wet, and just water, no chemicals.
    Unless your screen is really grungy, simply wiping away the fingerprints should help.

  • 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.

  • Why did my iPad Mini screen start glitching out of no where?!

    Why did my iPad Mini screen start glitching out of no where?! Hard reset did not fix issue... Which I could barely see the display at it was.. Please help..

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, 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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen 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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • HELP!!! Screen Fades away when open or close the s...

    Dear All,
    I am Orlando, owner of a Nokia c6-00 phone. Recently I updated my phone to v 41.
    and after that a strange issue has occoured. My phone screen fades away when i open or close this sider. I tried googling up this issue. But I guess I am the first one having this issue. I have already tried RESET FACTORY SETTINGS, and reinstalling the upgrade. But of no use.
    I have no idea whether it is an hardware issue or a software one.
    So, Guys please help me with this issue.
    Thanx..!!!

    @awesome93
    Probably no alternative but to backup essential data then "hard reset" by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user) to exclude any software corruption; although it seems a strange co-incidence there maybe issues with screen flex cable or it's connectors.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • 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.

  • New ipad mini retina: Safari crashes every time I hit the plus icon to open a second page

    Brand new iPad mini retina, safari crashes every time it try to open a second window

    Cleared and cleared then rebooted. Worked like a charm. Multiple windows open fine now, hardest part was navigating my way back here. Thanks dido ones... Bah auto correct diavonex.... Anyway, much appreciated. Just surprised it didn't work right straight out of the box,  but possibly a hiccup from starting this device from a backup of my iPhone.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
