IPAD Screen Stays Black even after reset.

Hello
I have a case similar to the one posted by darKnghtV on Jun 24, 2012 10:12 AM related to screen stays Black.
after I have stopped using the device for 3 days, I came back and the screen came back on. I reset the device to factory setting and it has been working fine for two days.
how can I confirm if the issue is a hardware or software?
if the device is defective, how can I exhaust the screen to show the issue again so I can take it to the service center?
Regards

I have done this few times.
however I had to use screen shot, view the image from my PC to have the unit reset to factory setting. even after that screen wouldn’t start.
when I took it in the car and it was a hot day, I reach the work shop and the unit was really worm, screen came back on and it did not go black again for the past three days.
what is puzzling me, was it fixed after the reset and it is a software issue, or is it a hardware ?

My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

You can try to reboot a few more times. If it doesn't come back and you normally sync to a computer, hook it up and see if the 'guts' are working even if the screen isn't.
Beyond that you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

Computer wakes from sleep but screen remains black even after restart

So, I installed SL yesterday and everything seemed fine. Last night, I closed my computer's monitor (putting it to sleep) for the night. This morning, when I opened it, the screen was black. I could not see anything, so I just restarted the computer.
On restart, the screen remained black.
After some experimentation, I realized that the computer was actually running, but I just couldn't see anything. So, I typed my password - screen was still black.
I then pressed the power button and enter - shutting down the computer properly.
After it shut down, I turned it on and the screen came on as normal...
What's going on here?
I checked some other threads and there was some potential issue with the iphoto screensaver, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.
Any thoughts on how to fix this or prevent it form happening in the future?

I just had a similar thing occur. After resetting the pram the screen came back on.
I had noticed some problems with the hot corners for sleep mode earlier so I have deactivated them now to see if this was the problem. The only other thing I can think of is the recent Java update. I installed it right before the problem occurred.

Screen remains blacks even after waking up from Sleep mode

Hi,
I've had my Macbook Pro for over a year now and it hasn't given me any problems until recently. The screen would remain black when I open up the laptop to wake it up from sleep mode. There would be no response even when I press random keys. When I close the laptop again, the white light at the bottom right corner lights on (when it's supposed to "breathe" while sleeping). The light goes out when I open up the laptop. The only thing I could do is to restart the computer.
What is the problem? Are there any ways to rectify this?

I am going to add my problem to this as I believe it fits and may add to the conversation.
I have a MacBook Pro, am using Parallels, and have an issue waking it up from sleep.
Circumstances:
I close the lid and walk away from the device in my office. When I return, (over night or an hour later) I open the lid, and if nothing happens swipe the touchpad or press a key, the power light changes from pulsating to steady. then in less than 15 seconds it goes back to pusating. The display never energizes, only remain black.
I usually try opening and closing several times, and occaisionally that will work. Other times, I hold the power key until I hear the drive halt, then turn it on. The grey screen will display, then blue, then just before it gets to the log in, the screen goes black (not energized) and the light pulsates.
I have tried the PRAM reset and Safe Mode starts with no luck.
*Now the really wierd thing.* I decieded to contact Apple support on line and pay for help (yes that is weird in an of itself for me). As I began the process it came to the part for me to enter my serial number. With the lid open, I turned the MacBook on its side to try to read the number and the screen energized and the password unlock prompt was waiting for me to enter the password.
Observations
I had read where the light sensor could be blocked by dirt or the light in the room was too dim, but I clean the screen and there is plenty of light. Dales Post is the first that I have seen Parallels and the Sudden Motion Sensor. That makes some sense to me because of what happened when I turned it on its side. I have verified that it happens regardless of using Parallels. as teh last time I did it I had closed out of all my VMs and I believe exited Parallels.
I am going to try the deleting the power preferences file and will report back.

Why does my Ipad screen keep freezing even after rebooting

My ipad screen keeps freezing and remains stuck. So in the last hour this has happened 3 times after hard "reboots". Can someone explain whats going on? Uwas not downloading anything ..only looking at Facebook.

Hello, Nina1711.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test the responsiveness of the iPad after processing these steps. If the issue persists, check to make sure you have space available on the iPad in Settings/General/About. If there is no space available you may want to remove unwanted Apps or media as this can cause the unit to become unresponsive. If these steps have been processed with the issue persisting, you will need to restore the device. Make sure to backup the device prior to restoring.

Mac Mini stays frozen even after reset

My Mac Mini froze this morning and I even unplugged EVERYTHING, leave it for 5 mins, then powered back up, and I still can't open any programs or even shut down without holding the power button. I've done this probably 5 times today and still no success. I've tried plugging in the power cord first, the monitor first, leaving out the speakers and the external hd and still nothing. What else can I do??
It is a Intel 1.83 with 1 gig of ram

I am assuming that you have tested your mouse and keyboard for faults?
Try booting from install dvd and running "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions" from disk utilities.

Try resetting your SMC and PRAM. If neither work, contact Apple and have it looked at.

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

My iPad dosen't open, my screen is black even if I use the open/close buttun??what can I do

My iPad won't open, my screen is black even if I use the open/close reset botton???

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset (not sure whether this is what you meant by a reset) ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can you please specify more, what generation and is it wifi or wifi and cellular?
The best thing to do with all ipad's is try ro set it back to factory setting, go into itunes, open the screen that displays your ipad and press, reset r factory settings or something like that.
Remember to make a backup first! Otherwise you will lose all your files.
