IPad screen is red.

Hi,
When I turned on my iPad this evening the screen was red.  I was using it at lunch time and it was fine.  I didn't drop it anywhere from the office to home.  Can't figure out why it's red.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Thank you in advance for your help.

try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the ipad will shut down(keept holding) then when you see the Apple logo apear release both buttons
If that does not resolve the issue then best thing to do would be to connect it to your PC/Mac with iTunes to see if it can be recognised and if it can see if you can do a back up then restore to factory settings.

  • My iPad screen turned red

    My iPad screen turned red all of a sudden. I don't know what to do but I'm freaking out! I've tried slapping the back of my iPad but it still doesn't work! This is the second time it's happened.
    Please help!

    I assume the iPad was dropped. It will need to be repaired or replaced.
    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

  • Ipad Screen turn red

    why my ipad 2 screen become red? but sometime ok sometime be come red screen? so what can i do?

    You can try resetting it, hold down the sleep and home key, past the red slider, and until you see the silver apple and it restarts.
    may/may not help. Beyond that, make an appointment at your local apple store because it's possible that the iPad's equivalent of a graphics card has issues. Time for hte pros to take a look.

  • WHAT to do if ipad screen turns red

    what to do if ipad 2 screen turne red

    I have seen this posted a number of times and a number of users claim that it works. Smack the iPad firmly on the back - don't whack it.  See if that helps. Be careful and lay it on your lap securely and make sure that it is not in danger of falling .... Please!
    You can do a search for yourself and find this discussion, but that is what I have seen anyway.
    I found it here.

  • HT201210 Screen is red and blurry any suggestions

    My ipad screen is red and blurry. Not yet a year old.  Any suggestions on what might b wrong or how to fix the problem?

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • I just flew on a airplane and when I turned my iPad on the screen went red

    I was wondering why my iPad screen would turn red. I just flew home and turned it on. I did lay it in the screening tray would that affect it?

    My iPad has gone through numerous airport screen devices with no problems. I also use the Go Go in flight Wi-Fi service when flying. My iPad has shown no ill effects.
    I suspect something may have happened to your iPad. Perhaps it was dropped while in the tray or a hardware malfunction happened at the same time. If you can duplicate the problem, or if it recurring, make an appointment at an Apple store for a consultation. Back up your iPad before going to the store.

  • What causes my screen on ipad to turn red?

    What would cause my ipad screen to turn red?

    The first thing I would do to try to end this behavior is reset the iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Hopefully that will end the redness.
    If not, the next step would be a restore.  Plug your iPad into iTunes, let it sync, then press the "Restore" button on the right of the iTunes display.

  • My iPad screen has a red tint

    My iPad screen has a red tint, anything I can do to fix this?

    I'm not the greatest when it comes to taking care of my iPad, that being said. I've dropped it a few times. I've had this issue, it can be easily fixed by holding down the home button and power button for at least 30sec. If this doesn't work then repeat. This has worked for me in the past and my iPad works just fine. By doing this your resetting the LCD. Hope this helps!

    My ipad 2 suddenly show red screen during start up and on ordinary screen show red colure fill the screen , I think it is hardware problem mostly screen. This problem didn't happen after fall or only accident ,what shall I do ?

    You could try a reset and see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it doesn't then you could try restoring to your last backup and/or resetting back to factory defaults. But if it's a hardware issue then you will need to contact Apple.

  • HT1414 Ipad screen red in colour

    iPad  display is red .. What can I do?

    Hi
    Not really sure what You mean by - changing the extension of my images (JPEG, GIF, BMP) -
    • Did You just change the ending or did You make format conversions ?
    I got lot's of strange colors Blue, Green and Red
    Red - When using .bmp photos in my iMovie/iDVD projects.
    I use GraphicConverter to convert all photos to .jpg (has to be a full re-calculation not just changing of file type ending)
    Blue - when using DVD-RW disks (most probably a material/brand faulth)
    Green - when conector to monitor got broken.

  • My poor new iPad screen

    My friend bought me an iPad two weeks ago and I love it, but the screen is over now - color green was gone so the screen looks red. Yes I still can see the icons and images, even movies. And every operation is still as smooth as before. But the whole screen looks terrible red.
    It back to normal for a few minutes and back to red again. My problem is my friend bought this iPad in Boston and I'm in China now, can't visit Boston again in a short time. And my another friend will go to Irvine, CA on May. Can I get an exchange in Apple Store in CA?
    Thanks

    This is NOT a software issue.  It is a hardware issue.
    There is no need to bang or drop the iPad!!  Read this solution.  Read the whole thing.
    If your iPad is still under warranty, I have heard that Apple will simply exchange it for you.  That is not necessarily an ideal option, as many people do not want to have to bother with transfering all of their files to a brand new device.
    My problem, however, was that my iPad was no longer under warranty when this occurred.  I was so sad, because the warranty is supposed to be for a year.  My mother bought it for me as a gift last Christmas, so it had not even been out of the box for a whole year when this happened.  Nevertheless, since my mother bought it in October, the warranty had *just* expired, since they go technically by the purchase date.
    Apple offered to fix it for me for $300!!!!  A ridiculous price for a loose wire inside.  I simply am not in a position to spend that kind of money, and if I was, why not get a new device at that price (NON-Apple!).  I was very upset, but I didn't give up on it.  I scoured the Internet for an affordable solution, I found one, and it worked!!
    The problem is caused by a loose cable on the inside, simple as that (can you imagine they ask $300 for the fix!!  After all I have invested in the App store, and buying the Apple keyboard to boot!!!).
    The fix I found is simple, I did it, and it worked for me.  It is the same repair a professional would do in this situation.
    The following video demonstrates how to open your iPad.  Warning!  This is a do-at-your-own-risk solution!  But I found it quite easy.  Watch the video (which actually demonstrates the entire process of replacing the screen),
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG5HhdeP_VY
    Obviously, for our issue, you will not remove your screen.  Simply disconnect the two cables as shown in the video, and reconnect them!!  Simple as that!  Then just reassemble it according to the video.
    I purchased the prying tool and screw driver and latches from sw-box.com -- for under $20.  I think it comes from Hong Kong, but it only took 8 days to get to me in TX, USA.
    I hope this helps someone else.
