My ipads screen has gone half black

this is my cousins ipad that he asked me to take a look at to see, if i could fiqured out what was wrong with it no luck yet,  from what my cousin told me is that it has never been dropped or left in the car to long, there are no real stractches or definable marks anywhere on the pad to make me think other wise.  Any way he said one day just out of the blue the screen just went half black and the other part was perfectically norrmal and you can still touch and operate where you can see or best guess. Originally i was thinking that i wouild just replace the lcd and maybe that was causing some kind of bleeding from the lcd.  but when i turn the ipad, the bad side and good side shift when you rotate them. so that made me reconsider that it was more a software or hardware problem.  So i did the basics i could think of:  a reset of the device, with no result, so from there i followed up with plugging the ipad up to my computer and doing a erase and resync to the older back up software which in turn only made it worse and now you can only see on the left bottom corner, blue, white, black. and i think it was green,  any way this stripes only show up in the bottom right corner taking up about a quarter of the ipad
Any suggestions on how to fix this the guys at apple store did there normal response to say i needd to buy a new one, which is not a finiacial option at this point in time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a software issue with the iPad - and you may find that by the time all is said and done, you would be better off with an out of warranty replacement iPad when you measure the time and cost factors involved.

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. It sounds like a hardware problem.

  • My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

    My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

    If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
    I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

  • IPad screen has gone blue/green and will not work

    My iPad 1 screen has gone to black when it is turned on and willl not work. Screen stays blue/green for about 30 seconds and then turns off. Unit is charged fully and has been updated to current operating software. Gerry

    Have you tried a 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.
    If that doesn't work then you could see if you can get it into recovery mode and restore it to your last backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    But you might need to contact Apple.

  • My iPad2 screen has gone blank (black)

    My iPad2 screen has gone blank (black) then will flash red and maybe to the homescreen, then turns blank again. I have restored the ipad like it says online, but it is still doing it. Can somebody please help, or is it a write off? Thanks

    IF the reset and restore doesn't bring it back then I'm afraid it's time to make an appointment at the apple store. See what they say and then make the decision if your money is best spent on a same model replacement or to invest in a new one

    Some folks here have reported that giving the back of the iPad a couple of sharp whacks has solved this issue - but you do this at your own risk. Best of luck.

    This just happened to me. Resetting my settings back to default helped me. I was able to keep all my apps/photos/data.
