TS3274 My ipad screen is flashing about once every second when plugged in, it wont boot, no logo

I have an ipad first generation. it wont turn on when press the power button. When i plug it into the wall, the screen blinks about once every second. It does not display any logo.
it doesnt seem like i can reset it or put it into recovery mode.
Any suggestions? do you think it has a hardware problem?

Hello oilyragfun, I am having the exact same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
No history of drops or abuse. When I plug it in the screen just dimly flashes or pulses about once every second. No logo, just the entire screen dimly backlit for a half of a second the blank again. I can't get it to respond with any combination of buttons or reset proceadures.

    Try to reset it. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. If that doesn't help then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look it over.

  • What's happening if my Macbook Air beeps about once every minute?

    I just upgraded my Macbook Air to OSX 10.8.1 the other day. Besides that, I diddn't install any new applications. Today, my macbook beeps about once every minute even when I muted it. What is going on?

    ok, it turns out that this is just a mistake. the beeping noise doesn't actually come from my laptop... sorry about this. Please disregard the question. I love my mac, and Apple is amazing.

  • My iphone 5 gps is bad. It follows me about once every 20 seconds.

    I have had 3gs, 4 and wife has 4s. They all followed me perfectly in the car.
    The iphone 5 I have strays off the road and picks up my position about once every 20 seconds.
    I have reset the phone as new phone, reset location settings, rebooted, to no avail.
    Navigon 'always' wants to simulate my route.
    Phone shows me about 1 block from house even outside in the open.
    I held my wifes 4s AND my phone in each hand, and ran an app called 'GPS Status'.
    She shows status as 'excellent fix', even in the house. Mine shows Bad Fix, and Poor fix.
    I would say the gps radio in the unit is bad, or not working correctly.
    I have an appt with the Genius bar near my work Tues 9/25. I hope they can exchange this for a
    NEW phone (dont see how there would be any refurbs yet).
    I am still within the 30 day exchange/return, as I just got it Friday 9/21.
    If I have any problems with the exchange as this is hard to test inside a store, they just have
    to take my word on this. I can always return it and buy it when the phone is available again
    I suppose if you have to return an item you will get your UPGRADE (199$) back to purchase
    another or this same phone in the future as you shouldnt have to use up your upgrade price if the item
    is returned..

    fixed.  exchanged in apple store.  works perfectly on new one now.  oddly enuf old 5 had the 2 tiny torque screws missing on the bottom. Anyone else had this happen ?

  • I have over $5k on apple products...I love all them, but iPad not supporting flash is very frustrating! When apple will address this short come?

    Probably never : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, and there is the built-in YouTube app.

  • Iphone 4s(ios 7) hangs after i reject calls by pressing the on/off button while it is in the lock screen.I restart the phone every time when i reject calls..what can i do ?

    iphone 4s(ios 7) hangs after i reject calls by pressing the on/off button while it is in the lock screen.I restart the phone every time when i reject calls..what can i do ?

    I've same problem in iPhone 5c. I was using iPhone 4, problem appears after updating to ios7. I changed my phone to iPhone 5c, looks like it's a bug in ios7. But I think you might not turn on or off your internet connection frequently to reduce this problem. My friend has a same iPhone she never gets such problem like this cause she uses iPhone 5c with Tata Docomo (India) 2g with no internet connection. May be this would be the best solve that you should not turn on or of your internet connection so frequently...
    Do any one have any better idea?

  • TS3274 My iPad screen won't work, please help!

    My iPad comes up with a black screen but when I press the lock button twice a blue screen appears with a faint outline of my wallpaper/time/notifications. I have tried resetting it and turning it on and off but nothing seems to be working. I'm travelling overseas next week and I really need my iPad PLEASE HELP!!!!

    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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • TS3274 My iPad screen has gone dark, but when I use internet it goes light please advise

    My iPad screen as gone. Funny greeny colour, everything including pictures are that colour, but when I use the internet it is normal. Please could you help. I've rebooted but no change

    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.

  • TS3274 My iPad screen won't rotate.. I have unlocked  at the volume button and on the multi task bar

    Why has my iPad screen stopped rotating?  I have tried by using the mute button to unlock.  It says it is unlocked. But it won't rotate.

    1. Make sure the Side Switch is set to Lock Rotation: Settings>General>Use side switch to
