I would try rebooting first.
Reboot 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.

IPad screen went blank / black
I tried to delete a certain apps that's not responding and the iPad screen went blank.
Hi iDheygy,
Reset your iPad (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if all is well.

My ipad screen has gone blank, I was using it and suddenly blank screen. I have tried connecting to power point for charging but nothing. I hope that someone can advise me I would be most grateful
Connect it to the wall charger and wait about an hour.
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.

Why does my iPad screen goes blank
Just bought my iPad 3, screen goes blank frequently, even after rebooting and /or closing and opening app? Any ideas?
It goes without saying that it should not do that. What exactly though does "it goes blank" mean? Do you get a white screen, a black screen? What is a blank screen?
If you just bought it, contact the store where you bought it and explain the situation ... return it. Or contact Apple phone support. It's free for the first 90 days.

IPad screen totally blank/black
I have read several posts regarding "Black Screen" but I can't seem to find anything like the issue I am having.
Problem - Screen is black. As far as I can tell there is no back light or any dim imagery on the screen. Screen totally blank.
Tried these solutions:
-Sleep/wake reset
-Sleep/wake + Home reset
-Full recharge
-Updated OS
-Restore from iTunes
Additional information:
iPad is still recognized and syncs when connected via USB to computer and iTunes. Was able to sync and run full restore from iTunes. The iPad still "chimes" when plugged in to power source. Was able to add/remove content in iTunes with no issues. As far as I can tell the iPad seems to be on and functioning but the screen is just completely black. Any thoughts....?
Thanks in advance everyone!Any thoughts....?
I would say it's probably a hardware problem, i.e. a defective backlight.
I assume you have the brightness turned up? Go outside in the sunlight and see if you can see any of the screen image. -
HT1430 ipad screen goes blank and apple logo appears
whilst I am using my ipad the screen suddenly gies blank, apple logo appears, and after approxiamately a minute my screen reappears- i have tried to re-set but nothing seems to work?
I'm so sorry to hear the reset is not helping. But the good news is apple has a 1 year hardware warranty, so if anything goes wrong with the product that is not your fault, they will fix it for you. I would suggest bringing it into the store. Good Luck, hope everything works out!

I cannot get my ipad's screen to come up.
Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -
I have an original iPad , the screen CONSTANTLY goes black and back to home screen. I have reset many times, nothing works and it is getting worse.
Any ideas?I would drain the battery all the way down until the ipad shuts off and then do a full charge without using it.
On the ipad go into Settings, general and check if you have any software updates. Then look at the top right side of the screen and the battery should be at 100% or 99% or in that area. If its lower then 95-90% then you may need a new battery.
Under general go down to "Auto-Lock" ......switch that to "never"
From general go down to "Safari" and tap on 'Clear history" and "Clear Cookies and Data"......this clears this from the safari browser. This "DOES NOT" remove anything from the ipad. This data is related to cookies and webpage data from web pages you visited, thats it. Its the same as clearing the cache on your home computer browser.
Try to open safari again and go to a google page and see what happens. If it stays open then it may be related to the page your trying to open on the ipad. Try and go to msn, apple webpages and see if they work ok.
If these all work ok then its possible it may have been the page you were on. If it was a secure page you were on like a bank or financial page, they may log you out after a few minutes of non use. With these type pages using the keyboard to type is not considered "Using" the page and at the time limit you get logged out. These pages pick up mouse movement to see that your still using the page.
One other thing may be closing safari is if you have something else on the ipad working. Some other app with incoming data, stock app, text app or if a download finishes for example. You will know if this is the issue because if safari closes and you open it back up and its where you were at.
FYI - Each time you open safari, it will open a new homepage screen (by default). So you will have any pages you had before plus a new homescreen tab. Just close this new homescreen tab and it should bounce back to the last page you were on because the tab should still be open. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT1212 iPad screen not working, how do I access it via itunes
My Ipad screen went blank but lights up. Itunes is asking me to enter a password on the ipad but I cant see the screen. Any way to access the ipad via itunes?
Have you dropped it lately?
Flip it screen side down on your lap and give it a good whack on the back.
It sounds strange but others have had success with it. -
Why does the screen on my IPad 3 go blank before it allows me to "slide to unlock"?"
I recently bought the iPad3. When I turn it on, I see the home screen and the "slide to unlock", but I can't do anything until the screen goes blank. Then I have to press the home button and the "slide to unlock" becomes accessible. Is this normal? Thanks!
I found apple service by calling number on the new ipad manual that comes in the ipad box. At the end pages of that manual there is number for support and service. You can also try to learn service number from the store you bought it. Or you live in a country which has Apple Store, give it to them to test it.
I thought it was a software issue too. I'm good on using software. I struggled a lot to find the trick. I searched net about it and saw it happens with ipads, iphones, android phones, generally touch screens. Don't accept ro reset your device advice if it is repeating. -
My IPAD has a blank screen. It is on and working because I can hear the ping of my emails arriving. I turned off and on as best I could which is tricky as the screen is blank. I synced with itunes and checked for updates. All ok.
Screen is still blank.
I can reset the ipad but I did this a month or so ago and it took forever and it lost all of my music which then took forever to get back on properly.
SO If I can avoid this I would.
Any help would be so appreciated!!
ThankyouTry reset iPad (not Restore)
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
