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.
Cheers,

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.

My iPad screen went black suddenly and is not coming back on. However i can still hear sounds when there are notifications but nothing comes on the screen. It remains blank. What is the problem? I NEED ASSISTANCE A.S.A.P!!!

Try 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.

Restore from iTunes. It is hard to say if you want to backup or rather revert to an old backup. I would recommend to save the previous backups to a safe place and then backup the current state and later test the backups incase your iPhone comes back to proper life.

IPad 1st generation turned it on and clicked on an app then screen went blank and now I can't get it to do anything at all

iPad 1st gen..help-clicked on an app and the screen went blank and now it won't' do anything-can't turn it off and it's getting hot. How do I remove the battery.

You cannot remove the battery on the iPad. If it is getting very hot, unplug it from power, if it's plugged in and set it down somewhere to let it cool off. Set it on something that cannot catch fire - as bizarre as that sounds. Set it on something that will not burn.
After it has cooled off, then try to restart it. If it will not start, try a reset.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond. I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not start up, the logo disappears. I have tried connecting the iP

I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond. I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears. I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac). What else can I do?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear.

My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.

That is indicating that the device has gone into recovery mode. Press just the Power button until the red Power Off slider appears and slide to turn it off. Then power it back up to see if it has exited Recovery Mode. If it has, then you should be good to go.
If it has not, then the issue you had that caused the iPad to turn off was one that put your device into Recovery mode requiring that you go through the recovery process (i.e., the reset did not process since the issue required a recovery to resolve). Here is a link that explains what you need to do to get out of Recovery Mode in that case:

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. If that does not work you need to take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar to have it evaluated by the technicians.

I would try rebooting first.

MY SCREEN WENT BLANK DURING THE DOWNLOAD OF APPLE's UPDATE

I was downloading a system update for my MacBook and my screen went blank.
Applecare was unable to identify problem.
I took it into service and they said this has been happening lately with system downloads.
Am I doomed? I've only had this computer for 4 months.

Not a solution to your problem, but anyway: do you see anything on the screen when putting it into bright light? If so, then the backlight is of while the display is actual working.
My screen sometimes blacks out shortly after waking up from sleep. It always comes back within a minute. Annoying, and I don't have a solution yet and hope it does not need repair. However, during those blackouts I actually can tell what's on the screen when using a torchlight...
I assume you tried fn-F2 to ensure brightness is not set to off? And fn-F7 to ensure the MacBook doesn't think it's using some external screen? Did you try to reset the SMC? The System Management Controller is responsible for power management of the computer and also controls backlighting.

My movie playing and screen went blank. I turned it on and rebooted. No help. What do I do?

I was watching amovie on my iPad 2 and the screen went blank. I can not get it back up or back to the opening screen to click on either of the other two movies I downloaded. Advice?

Call your carrier and see if there is an outage in your area... Try re-setting the phone. Go to another location and see if the problem persists. Pay your phone bill. These are all possibilities. Without more information, we're just guessing.
