IPad screen has gone blue/green and will not work

My iPad 1 screen has gone to black when it is turned on and willl not work. Screen stays blue/green for about 30 seconds and then turns off. Unit is charged fully and has been updated to current operating software. Gerry

Have you tried a 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.
If that doesn't work then you could see if you can get it into recovery mode and restore it to your last backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
But you might need to contact Apple.

My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!

When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. It sounds like a hardware problem.

TS3274 My iPad screen has gone dark, but when I use internet it goes light please advise

My iPad screen as gone. Funny greeny colour, everything including pictures are that colour, but when I use the internet it is normal. Please could you help. I've rebooted but no change

Some folks here have reported that giving the back of the iPad a couple of sharp whacks has solved this issue - but you do this at your own risk. Best of luck.

My ipads screen has gone half black

this is my cousins ipad that he asked me to take a look at to see, if i could fiqured out what was wrong with it no luck yet, from what my cousin told me is that it has never been dropped or left in the car to long, there are no real stractches or definable marks anywhere on the pad to make me think other wise. Any way he said one day just out of the blue the screen just went half black and the other part was perfectically norrmal and you can still touch and operate where you can see or best guess. Originally i was thinking that i wouild just replace the lcd and maybe that was causing some kind of bleeding from the lcd. but when i turn the ipad, the bad side and good side shift when you rotate them. so that made me reconsider that it was more a software or hardware problem. So i did the basics i could think of: a reset of the device, with no result, so from there i followed up with plugging the ipad up to my computer and doing a erase and resync to the older back up software which in turn only made it worse and now you can only see on the left bottom corner, blue, white, black. and i think it was green, any way this stripes only show up in the bottom right corner taking up about a quarter of the ipad
Any suggestions on how to fix this the guys at apple store did there normal response to say i needd to buy a new one, which is not a finiacial option at this point in time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD HELP

This is not a software issue with the iPad - and you may find that by the time all is said and done, you would be better off with an out of warranty replacement iPad when you measure the time and cost factors involved.

Ipad screen has a massive grey bar through it??

I turned on my Ipad this morning, and it seemed to be working just fine, except that there was a thick, pixilated grey bar right through my screen. I tried restarting it several times, but nothing changed. I connected it to power and it didn't go away. I haven't tried connecting it to my computer yet, as my computer is broken at the moment (not my fault, I'm just really unlucky) but I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem, so that wouldn't help anyway. I haven't dropped my ipad, put it in heat or humidity, got water on it, put it in extreme cold or treated my ipad roughly. It stays in a case safely on my desk whenever its not in use. I have only had it for just over two months, so I am very annoyed that it has broken after such a short time. Anyone have any advice?

Well mrdoozie, you're lucky. I bought an I pad in dec 2010 and had the same issue (grey,black bar about 2 inches thick just above of centre across the screen with multicolored thin lines in some place inside the bar) develop about 20 days ago. I took it to the apple authorized service centre in mumbai, India and they said apple has not authorized anyone in India to open it and repair and given its a hardware issue and warranty expired in december 2011 they can replace it for a cost of Rs 23,000 eq to $ 480!
I did not think it was worth it. First I did not expect apple to make hardware that could develop such kind of issues. And if it such a regular thing then they should repair or replace if it's not the fault of the user. .
So I took it back and decided I will buy a new galaxy tab instead. With samsung, don't have this kind of support issues in India.
I can't use this I pad because all the messages come in the centre and do not move up or down so get covered by he bar.
I should have realized this early when within 3 months my adapter got burnt. I ignored it. For those who may think it may be a voltage issue in my house, I charge my iPhone thro the same socket with the same chargers

I can still read it, but it's as if I've highlighted the whole screen. How do I reset?

This just happened to me. Resetting my settings back to default helped me. I was able to keep all my apps/photos/data.
