Ipad screen is dark

My ipad screen is not showing but when i put a flashlight on it i can faintly see the screen ive tried fully powering it off, charging, Restoring but it hasnt helped!!! Please help
Also it is not low brightness

Try a reset, hold down the Sleep & Home keys until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If this does the trick check details under Settings>Wallpaper & Brightness.  Is Auto-Brightness on?
Regards,
Steve

  • My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

    My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    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 (or it doesn't help), 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, read this.

    Make sure it's plugged into power for at least 5 minutes, then try holding down the top power button and home button for 15-30 seconds.   You may get it to reboot.

  • Ipad screen getting dark fast

    The screen on my iPad turned pink a couple of days ago and now it's getting dark fast.  I've tried everything I can find out here:
    I check the brightness and it's all the way up.
    I reset it.
    I plugged it into a computer.
    I put my knee into it. Lots of people thought that was a miracle remedy.
    I can't afford a new iPad.  Please help thanks.

    Is it still under warranty? I'd back it up and make an appointment and take it to your local apple store. It sounds to me like the screen or backlight is dying.

  • Ipad screen is dark, it lights up but dark

    I knocked my ipad 2 off my bed this morning.  It landed on its back, didn't harm screen. However,  if you turn it on,  the screen is black, but lights up. I can't get to anything else. How do I fix this, or who do I contact to have this fixed?

    Try this. It seems you have nothing to lose. Search this discussion group for "Black screen" and "Red screen." Read the testimonials.
    Turn your iPad face down on your lap and spank the back a few times with the palm of your hand, checking to see if the screen returns to normal. If not, spank with increasing firmness, again, checking from time to time.
    This has worked for both the "red screen" problem and the "black screen." It seems something came loose when it fell. If it works, handle it gently, as the loose part might once again shift.
    Good luck. Let us know.

  • TS3274 ipad screen is dark upon startup

    I purchased a new Ipad 2 last week and I am having problems with it. Upon startup the screen is so dim I can barely see it. I mean barely. I have checked the brightness and it is all the way up. Also the auto light "eye" is not covered.
    What else could be the problem?

    Try a Reset...

    I suggest that you take the MBP into an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.  There are liquid sensors inside and they should check if any have been activated.  This may give you a clue as to what you may expect regarding future reliability.

  • 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.
