If you have done all of the above i would call Apple care or setup an appointment at a Apple Store for them to diagnose and replace.

  • IPad Mini Screen very sensitive

    Hello!
    Who owns an iPad Mini (whether retina or not does not may not be such a big difference) and does like me have the annoyance that the screen is really sensitive to pressure ...
    I had my new iPad Retina mini swapped because the volume down button stuck.
    In the Apple store a replacement product has been ordered and a few days later they swapped it out.
    At home I realized that the new iPad's screen is much more sensitive. Press the display a little harder while for example playing a game in which you press the screen a bit more energetic, the display under the glass throws rainbow colors back and forth ...
    So I demonstrated it at the Apple store and a replacement was ordered again.
    Few days later I picked it up and behold, the display is even MORE sensitive.
    I have now made ​​a picture.
    I'm not trying to crush the display, I press only a little harder than normal usage. And I'm relatively slim ... What will a stronger craftsman do with his iPad Mini? :-P
    This is not normal right?
    Clearly it appears on every screen when you press it hard enough. But it should not show up THAT fast, and that's not the case with the exhibits at the Apple Store ...
    What do you think? Swap again?
    Does anyone besides me have this experience / this "problem" ?

    Yes I have this problem too!!
    It's what you would get on an LCD TV (which doesn't have a glass front) if you swiped your finger along the screen.
    My toddler son has been doing some apps such as colour and shape sorting and when you click and drag the item across the screen I noticed this too. Thought he might be pressing too hard but when I did it it doesn't take a lot of pressure to see it.
    The online help stated it shouldn't happen and arranged a call back for me. The first guy I spoke to went and tried the iPad mini retina  they keep in the office for trials and testing and he said it shouldn't do that.
    I had to have three call backs in total as I had to restore etc and each person would arrange a call back for the next step as couldn't stay on the line for the duration. The three call backs each stated that this shouldn't happen and the last person arranged for the item to be collected.
    Ipad was collected yesterday and tonight I got an email stating that it has passed all the engineer tests and that the engineers could not find the fault I had described.
    (But in my repair info that I later noticed, the advisor had put it down as a flickering flashing screen!!)
    So they wouldn't find that anyway as it didn't flicker or flash!!
    So anyway the same ipad is on it's way back. :(
    Think I'll take it into a Genius Bar and show them as this surely can't be right.
    My concern is I f it has continuos use with the colours distorting underneath then this may cause damage in the long run!
    It's my third iPad mini.
    (First two were returned and replaced due to yellow screen issues) and they weren't like this.
    If you do a five finger pinch to shrink or enlarge you get a large ripple of colour .
    I don't see how this can be normal.
    It's as though the glass has been put to close to the LCD during assemble!
    Friends and family I've seen and spoke to ( for a total of 7 iPads ranging from ipad 2, ipad 4, iPad Air and original iPad mini) none of them have seen or had this issue!!

  • HT5262 my ipad mini screen is going crazy

    My ipad mini screen has started going crazy. It's zooms in and out, changes pages and moves all by itself.

    Hi just4dana,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPad mini is behaving unexpectedly, I recommend restarting or resetting it:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article with these steps here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Reset iPhone settings

    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPad:

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

  • Why did my iPad Mini screen start glitching out of no where?!

    Why did my iPad Mini screen start glitching out of no where?! Hard reset did not fix issue... Which I could barely see the display at it was.. Please help..

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Hi, i just shocked when i recognized, my Ipad mini screen full of scratches,

    Hi, i just shocked when i recognized, my Ipad mini screen full of scratches, after playing Virtual table tennis app...I have a griffin hard cover, and i always keep in safe my staff, ...so I did the scratches with my neal...wich i think is abnormal, in this case....
    I saw a few youtube videos and they try to make scratches with key...andsoon...
    So what can I do it now....??
    Anybody have an experience like this..?????

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How do i fix a scratch on iPad mini screen?

    IS there any product I can buy to repair a small scratch on my iPad mini screen?

    You can either put a screen protector over it and ignore it, pay the $219+ for an out of warranty replacement or if you have apple care plus, cash in one of your $49 dollar accidental damage events and get a replacement.

  • My ipad mini screen is broken

    I lent on my ipad mini screen in the bottom corner and now there are loads of vertical and horizontal lines on the screen which block the view. Would this be an LCD replacement or external glass replacement. Does anyone have any experience of this and how did they fix the ipad.

    It will cost you approximately US$250.00 to US$300.00
    Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

  • IPad mini screen problems

    A section of my brand new iPad minis screen keeps going blank, black or extremely pixelated though the screen sensor still works in that area. It used to come and go but currently it seems to be permanent. What to do????

    Doesn't matter where you bought it, it's still covered by Apple's 1-year warranty.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My ipad mini screen will not slide to unlock

    My IPad mini screen will not unlock. It was fine one minute and the next, I couldn't slide it to unlock it.

    Does anything happen when you touch the screen, the slider doesn't get a box around it (which would indicate VoiceOver being 'on') ?
    If not then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Ipad mini screen keeps moving around and switching screens as though someone else is using it? any ideas what is going on?

    Ipad mini screen keeps moving around as though someone else is fiddling with it while I am using it. Any ideas what is goi g on?

    Hi Deeveeay,
    Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). When the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue has resolved itself.

  • Why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

    why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

    My Ipad 3 is the same, it must be a design fault cuz I dropped a pound coin on my ipad screen and it shattered and every other week there's a new dent or scratch, though I wouldn't say I'm overly rough with it. I use it a lot, like most do, so accidents will happen and Apple hav to allow for that. I deffently wouldn't say that they are worth the money for the amount of trouble they cause, they r great devices, just far too delicate and expensive!
