No Display, but Backlight Still Working on iPad

One of the schools I teach with iPads at has an iPad 2 that has no display, but you can see the backlight still firing.
Anything I can try before taking to the Apple Store?
Thanks in advance!

Beyond the restore suggested by Demo have you tried to give it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting.
The only other way to look for signs of life - to find out if the whole device is malfunctioning or just the screen, is to hook it up to a computer. Does the computer see it and interact with it or is there no response?
I had my ipad 2 inexplicably go 'dark' on me once. THe screen would not turn on, but then when I hooked it up to the computer the laptop saw it and synced. Then I tried a reset and it came back. So it may be a glitch, or it may be something bigger, such as hardware malfunction.
If the computer doesn't see it and if you can't reset it back then it may be time to take it to the apple store and see what they recommend.

What country are you in ? The price for repair (i.e. replacement) for the iPad 3 and 4 appears to be around the €300 mark
If you select your country at the top of this page, then select the 'Warranty & Service Pricing' section on the left of the screen, and then 'My iPad is not eligible for warranty service' section on the right, you should be able to see the price in your country.

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

If my ipad has a dint in it but it still worked for 7 months after that moment and know it just stoped working does the year warranty still apply

No. iPads that have any type of denting or physical damage (old or new) are not covered under the warranty. Apple would have no way of determining when the damage was done or if that damage caused your present issue.
I believe that once they see physical damage, their reasoning for voiding the warranty would be that visible, physical damage, irregardless of when it ocurred.

HT204409 How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

Otherwise you will have to go into the router settings and reset the wifi password in the router

Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent. my worry is will it give any prop in future or its just a cosmetic issue but in performance it wont give any problems. it happened an hr back & i am very upset for this misshandling.

I dropped a MBP and dented that same corner, though it wasn't one of the unibody MBPs:
It worked flawlessly for a month, then suddenly died. I put it to sleep one day, then 5 minutes later remembered something I had forgotten to do, opened it back up... and nothing. It never worked again. Repairs would have been well over $1,000, and would not have been covered by the warranty or by AppleCare (if I had bought it). I opted to just buy a new Mac instead.
Now, just because that happened to me does not mean that's what will happen to you. However, you do need to prepare yourself for that possibility.

My iPhone 5 screen has gone black but Siri still works so it won't reset please help

A few minutes ago my iphone 5 went blank but Siri still works so it won't let me reset , any quick tips that I could use to bypass Siri in order to reboot would be appreciated

Try plugging it it to see if the screen comes on. If not then you're screen is damaged.

Does anyone know what i should do? it actually burnt the tip og the charger and was smoking I have no idea how the phone is still working. I do not want to buy a new phone.

Hi Sean,
If it fried the charger, then there is something seriously wrong with it. You need to take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at, and be prepared to be told that you will need to get a new phone. If you can't charge it, it will be useless to you in a matter of days anyway. Also, do not even try to hook it up to your computer....you will probably cause serious damage to the computer and be even worse off than you are now.
Sorry about your troubles. But for your own safety, you need to have the phone looked at! Don't wait - if you wait until it has no more charge left, then no one will be able to recharge it to look at it....
Cheers,
GB

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

HT201269 if your i phone 5 screen was destroyed but phone still works how do you transfer contacts and photos form old phone

My i phone 5 screen shattered yesterday, but phone still works. Is there a way I can still retrieve my contacts and photos from my other phone?

Yes, if it's an iPhone that support iCloud and the photos are in the iPhone 5 Camera Roll.
The other photos albums should be in your photos library on your computer.
