My iPad has red bleeding through the screen.

My iPad has red bleeding through the screen. The background is solid red behind everything on the page. What causes this?
Is there a fix for this?

On a different thread, someone suggested dropping the iPad on its back onto a carpeted floor. I did this from about two feet high with no effect. Then tried from about 3.5 feet high, and VOILA the red disappeared! Many others reported same miraculous fix. Hope it works for you!

  • My ipad has red lines on the screen

    My ipad has red lines running across the screen, this does not happen all the time, but seems to affect the black colour on screen, is there a solution to this please

    You can try to reset your iPad:
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button (also known as power button) simultaneously.
    Continue holding both buttons until the iPad shuts down and begins to restart, this might take up to 20 seconds.
    You may stop holding the buttons when you see the Apple logo.
    You completed the reset successful, you can now try if your iPad works again.
    If it won't work, it means you have a hardware problem. If you have warranty, you can repair it for free, visit your local Apple Store or Premium Reseller to let them repair your phone.

  • My iPad has stripes running through the middle of screen, is it done?

    Is my iPad finished, it has stripes running through the screen?

    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    If the stripes return, try giving it a couple of careful whacks across the back - some folks here have reported success doing this, but you try it at your own risk.

    My IPad has one half of the screen with vertical multi colored stripes and the other half is normal.  Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a solution?

    You could have a hardware issue, but try this and see if it helps.
    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 - let go of the buttons.

  • TS3274 my ipad mini is glitching, has lines going through the screen

    My Ipad mini's screen starting glitching, has lines going through it.

  • My first gen iPad has a line across the screen?

    Ok, so mybrother who has Down Syndrome threw  myfirst gen iPad, and now it has a thick line about 2/3 of the way down.it never goes away. How to fix it,or how much would it cost to replace?

    I don't think this is going to do the trick, because the iPad hardware has probably been damaged - but did you try rebooting the iPad?
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    You can see your replacement options and cost here.

  • The movie I rented has frozen midway through, the screen is black and won't play. What di I do?

    Can someone tell me how to fix.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Ipad had colored lines running through the screen

    My ipad first generation which i love now has colored lines running through the screen.  Can it be fixed?

    Howdy diana,
    It sounds like your iPad has mulitcolored lines all over it. I would recommend a few things here to help isolate the issue to software or hardware. Try restarting the phone with this article:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next try reseting the device with the same article:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it as a new device to see if the lines are still there. If not then restore your backup and verify they are still gone.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If the lines are there even when setup as a new device, your iPad may need service:

    I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

  • Just recently my iPad started to get lazy on me I'll go on a website and it has trouble moving through the different applications within it. It has nothing to do with the wifi because it's doing it no matter what wifi it is using at the time.
