My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. What do I need to do?

My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. I am very careful with it. What do I do now?

Plug it into an electrical outlet let it sit a few minutes. Then try performing a hard reset, by holding the home button and the lock buttons at the same time until an apple logo appears.

  • My iphone 4 screen just went black and will not come back on, I can connect it and charge it and it makes noise but no screen?

    What does it mean when your screen just goes black and will not turn back on? I can connect it to computer to charge and it recognizes it and charges it but no picture on screen.

    Hey Krkirst10,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with your device, however let's try to isolate as much as possible to determine if that is so. To isolate the issue, follow the regular troubleshooting steps for power issues:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    4. After at least 30 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    Try doing a Restart/Reset.  In this case, it would be the Reset procedure if it does not turn on normally.

  • My iPad just went black and the black travels up and down or side to side and I can't force it to close I don't get the red bar what's going on

    My IPad just went blank/black/gray sometimes lines cannot force close as the red bar does not come up
    The blank screen color travels up and down or side to side
    What is causing this
    Either way when plug in or not the battery level is at 70%

    Try this.
    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.

    Hard reset by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake lock button (BUtton on the bottom of your display, button you use to turn the screen black) hold them both down for 15 seconds till you see the apple reappear

    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 new Iphone 4s went black, and will not do anything. It was never dropped or anything like that. Any ideas?

    My iphone 4S went black and will not do anything. It was in my hand when it happened. It is 14 days hold, and has not had nay other problems. Anyone know whats up?

    Is the phone charged? Did you try connecting it to a charger? Try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen if it appears. This will restart the phone and will not have any affect on your data. See if that takes care of it.

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

    my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I have had this problem several times. The iPad comes off charging with a black screen and only a hard reset works to get it back.  Then you have to go to settings to be sure nothing changed there.   
    I have had serveral hard resets and three restore operations and the problem recurs.  I am not sure if it is the iPad2 or an app that is causing the problem.   So far I can live with it as is.

  • My Mac just went black and the battery no longer work properly.

    My Mac just went black and when it rebooted the battery seems to now work. The battery icon in the tob bar is gone and the button on the side to show battery percentage no longer works. The charger light doesn't work either. Why? How to fix? Is it a software or hardware problem?

    Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
    (I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
    Thanks, L

    This exact same thing happened to me too yesterday and trying what you said has just fixed it right now! Lucky I happened to come across this discussion while looking for a solution and has saved me a trip to Genius Bar tonight.
    Thanks very much for the solution!
    This problem has never happened before and I have just updated to iOS 7.0.3 about 2 weeks ago, so wondering if it may be an iOS 7 issue...
