IPad Mini Screen is not functioning correctly

so recently i took my ipad mini into the car and its pretty hot in there, but not as hot as to make you break a sweat- just pretty clammy. my ipad was charged around 70-80% and i put the brightness all the way up so i could see the screen display. This worked for a while, until i opened an app and the ipad suddenly shut off- or at least the screen went black. I tried to restart it and held down on the power button for 10+ seconds. I couldnt see anything, so i figured i would need to charge it- but it was more than halfway charged so this really confused me.
Then i started searching online- a couple of people on a few forums had the same problem- i tried holding both the home and power button for 10 seconds- nothing happened. I tried smacking my ipad (like what the forum said) and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to itunes and i heard the charging noise. Then finally, i went into a dark room and used a flashlight to angle at it and i could see the screen only faintly- the sounds work- i hear the keys click and My email and messages being recieved but the screen is just too dark to be even slightly noticeable in natural light. I tried working with the brightness but no matter where i slid it- it stayed the same. I can really only play music but that would still take a hassle to set up. All my other apps work but i am not able to use them because of how dim the screen is. I use my ipad for everything- school, digital art, the works... any suggestions?

Try resetting it again. HOld down the sleep and home for 10-20 seconds or so, until you see the silver apple. See if it reboots.
if that doesn't help, then you may want to look into restoring your device

If that doesn't work then it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have the techs check it out

  • 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.

  • Ipad mini home button not functioning

    Dear sir
    I am facing the problem on my ipad mini 32G home button
    The version should be ios 7
    When pressing the home button, it has no function at all. Please advise me what is the solution for it! if I press the power button, it has functioned, therefore I got no idea why the home button totally cant work as usual
    Please help
    your kind attention and feed is highly apprecited!
    Thank you
    Joanne

    Try calibrating the home button.
    Open a stock app like Calendars or Notes.
    Hold the power button until the red slider switch appears.
    When it appears release the power button and press the home button until the home screen appears.
    Hopefully your home button now works.

  • Rotation of screen is not functioning

    Rotation of my ipad air screen is not functional. I tried all possibilities at control center ,but it's displaying horizontal alignment only. Please advice.

    The home button is the one on the front with the squarish circle on it, the sleep/power button is on the top/side (depending on how you're holding it....you'll have two buttons together, which is hte volume/rotation lock and then around the edge from that is the sleep button)

    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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
    As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

  • How can I salvage an iPad Mini that will not restart, reset or respond to Recover phase via iTunes and is not responding to any functions and will not access Home? Thanks

    I have an iPad mini that will not respond and is non functional.  It continues to intermittently try to automatically restart, access home page without success.  It will not accept normal charge. I have tried to manually restart, reset and have been unsuccessful.  It will not allow a Recover attempt via iTunes as well.  Do you have any suggestions before I consider a replacement?  Thanks.

    Hello RC MD,
    It seems you are unable to restore your iPad to factory settings, and it is not responding to power. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPad may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

    On my ipad mini my apple id is correct in the itunes and app but for icloud it is incorrect. How do I fix this? On icloud it shows correctly.

    You can log out of your iCloud account via Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account if not on iOS 8), and you can then log back in with the correct id.

  • HT201406 my ipad touch screen is not working please give solution for it.

    my ipad touch screen is not working please give solution for it.
    i have connected ipad to itunes and done it restore seetings then also my touch is not working but
    when i connected ipad to i tunes inside functions are working properly but touch screen is not working what can i do

    If you have a screen protector on the iPad's screen, try removing it. If you don't or that doesn't help, and restoring the iPad to factory settings has not corrected the problem, then the iPad probably has a hardware problem and will need to be taken or sent to Apple for replacement.

  • 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.

  • Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.

    Hello! Noticed that the Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
    It works correctly only when such a dark place, then unlock the iPad brightness will be at a minimum. Likewise, if unlock iPad in a room with light, the brightness will adjust to the surrounding space.
    If I turn light into a dark room, the brightness slider does not move, and stands on the site. Checked on the iPhone 5S, there problems are not present. Auto Brightness is working correctly.
    P.S. Sorry for my bad english!

    iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help.
    iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.
    The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't.  Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
    The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?
    I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!
    And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

    THE CONFLICT IS BETWEEN YOUR DOCUMENT CSS AND THE SPRY CSS.
    It is because the <li> and <a> TAGS have been styled and therefore OVERRIDDEN THE SPRY CSS.
    Use CLASS TAGS e.g.  <li class="anyclass"> and <a class="anyclass">
    and STOP USING THE <a> TAGS.
    N.b. you may need to unstyle any <a> or other TAGS that conflict with the SPRY CSS.  (However it's best to start over knowing that styling basic tags may affect the SPRY CSS).

  • N96 Telephone Service Not Functioning Correctly

    Good evening folks,
    Now, I've had this problem for as long as I've had an N96. TWO N96's in fact, as my first was replaced by Nokia due to the screen-slide connection malfunctioning. Both have been fully firmware updated and restored on multiple occasions in an attempt to fix the problem.
    The telephone service on the handset has the habit of not functioning correctly, like the service has hanged or just doesn't respond.
    For example, I find a contacts name in contacts, press the green key to show their contact numbers, and green again on the number I wish to call- nothing happens, other than the available numbers disappear and you return to the regular contacts view. This is what would normally happen anyway, only you'd have an outgoing call happening over it and showing the "telephone" screen.
    Or, example two, in a text message I chose Options > Call > Voice Call and press the select or middle button to initiate the call- No call, instead the options dialogue disappears and I return to the standard message view. Again, I should be in an outgoing call, not viewing my text message.
    Example three, to really show the telephone service isn't working;
    I'm in full signal, text messages are functioning correctly and the mobile web is working flawlessly. A friend sat next to me rings me and is immediately directed to my voicemail, not a single indication from the handset that I may have been receiving a call.
    Seconds later I receive a text message from my operator to let me know about a new voicemail my friend just left me.
    So, the telephone service isn't functioning as it should be.
    A quick restart fixes the problem in 4 out of 5 cases, however usually within 24 hours the problem is persisting again.
    Not being able to make outgoing calls isn't a problem, because at least then I know the telephone service has failed on me and I can restart.
    A potentially important incoming call about anything being directed immediately to my voicemail? Problematic, especially if they don't leave a message and instead just keep trying me, as I receive no notification from my operator about missed calls and there is no way other than to try and make an outgoing call as to determine whether the service is still functioning.
    It isn't shown as a regular application whilst not in a call and I don't believe I should even have to check if it's still running as this function is the main function implied in the device category 'smartphone'.
    Rant over, so if there's anyone out there who could shed some light onto this situation, please do.
    Also, kind of off topic- but in the case that this is a universal problem (which I'm assuming it is, having had two completely different handsets with the same symptoms), do I go after Nokia to provide me with a different model of handset, or the supplier (The Carphone Warehouse) since my handset isn't properly providing a function that is advertised?
    Somehow I presume I'm rightfully entitled to a reimbursement or different model. Hopefully.
    Thanks in advance people

    You're so right....   I managed to get over the problems, never upgraded the firmware...  Once I got all the apps I use and needed, never touched it....  Still the phone is a mess, worst ever...   I came from an Iphone, fleeing from lock OS and stuff, and found myself in a Symbian hell.....    Definitely Windows Mobile...  I'm so down on this phone, I spent 650 dollars, one year ago....  The worst investment ever...  Never again a Nokia or a Symbian smartphone, for cheap ones apparently are the best.  I'll wait another year, to feel less pain when buying a new one for 600-1000 dollars.
    Solution: Buy another phone...  Better if it is a Windows Mobile.... As HTC for example.
