What is wrong with my iPad (4th Gen) screen?

Hi all,
My iPad 4th gen screen has stopped working.
It just shows a white fuzzy screen with a thick grey bar across the screen. I have done some percussive therapy (hitting the back) and the thick bar changed colour but other than that nothing happens. I have tried a restore as well but still no luck!
I have trawled through google and some of the ofrums here but i cant find anything about this. Does anyone have any ideas? It has just ran out of warranty as well.

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/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • What is wrong with my iPad? White screen

    I opened my iPad this morning and there was a white screen. I could do nothing. Couldn't turn it off, couldn't do anything with buttons except the hard reset.
    After about 5 minutes, it went back to normal.  Now tonight, it has returned, and this time it isn't going away. Additionally, the white screen is getting less bright, and all edges of the screen are starting to darken, as if its dying.  I have a genius bar appointment tomorrow but just wanted to get some idea of what I'm in for, if anyone has experienced this. I've included a picture.

    Yes, thats what I meant by hard reset. I did do that. It came back on with the white screen. I can barely see apps in the background, but when i press the screen nothing happens. I'm trying a system restore now, but i don't think thats it, as the reset logo and progress bar is lightly visible under the bright white screen. I guess this is a screen issue. I couldn't seem to find alot on any similar problems with a google search. Weird.

  • My 2nd mini iPad in a year and same problem happened,it stopped working. what's wrong with mini iPads?!

    I got a replacement to my daughter’s iPad mini in September b/c her 1st one stopped working and now it happened again. I took it to the Apple store and  i was told that there's  nothing they can do. What's wrong with the iPad minis?

    I have an iPad mini and it works great, so do many other people.
    Is it possible your daughter abused the device?   If it gets dropped, even in a damage proof case, it is a shock to the iPad.   Most survive, but if it happens often, it might be a problem.
    Charging often, not completely, leaving in charger while in use a lot?
    Leaving the iPad in a hot car, or freezing the iPad?

    Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

  • What is wrong with my log in display screen?

    Hey There guys,
    This problem started occurring right after i updated to Yosemite, which was quite a while back. Every time I turn on my computer and I get to the log in screen where I put my password, half the screen is normal and the other half is black with green lines running through it(this was the latest) other times it is white rectangles with little black ones running through them. Im not sure what is wrong with it, I never dropped my mac or anything.
    I have attached an image.

  • Apple wants to charge for a repair but won't tell me what's wrong with my iPad

    So my iPad mini is 1 year and 5 days old, and it suddenly won't power on.  Nothing, even with a different charger and cable.  The Apple website said to send in for battery/power issues, so I filled in the form and gave them my credit card for a little over $100.00 and sent it to them via UPS.  That was 2 days ago, now I get an email saying they need to charge me $225.95+tax and I have 48 hours to either pay it or have them send the unit back.  Nothing on their repair status tells me what is wrong and why the sudden increase in price for an iPad mini repair.  I can call or chat online for another $19.00, but that seems like hiway robbery to me.  I mean, I already paid you $100+, can't you even tell me what you found that needs another $225?!?!?  On the repair status, there is an area called views of your product with a broken image file, so I can't even see what they are referring to.
    If I way the $19, will they even be able to tell me anything, or will they just read what I can see on the webpage?  I'm starting to think it will be cheaper to just buy another iPad mini at this rate.
    Has anyone any advice ?

    Well, I called Apple and talked to them last night.  They were surprisingly very friendly.  They emailed me a picture of the iPad with what they were concerned about.  Now there is a dent in a corner, that I know wasn't there before.  I take create care of the iPad and use a full bumper case.  I explained to the repair tech that this dent is new and was not there when I took the iPad in for UPS.  Actually, when I took the iPad to UPS, I had the unit in the original box (I'm OCD that way).  The guy at UPS told me to take the iPad out of the box and then he weighed the iPad, some bubble wrap and an empty box.  He then said it was good to go and I walked away with the original packaging.  I honestly suspect the damage happened at UPS.  Plus a small dent in a corner shouldn't affect battery, right?  Anyway, after talking with a few people at repair, they noticed that their records show the iPad being 1 day out of AppleCare. 
    The last guy was going to just charge me for the battery replacement, which I am good with.  But, guess what, Apple can't partial charge, it's either all or nothing.  So, after about an hour of being on the phone, they will repair or replace the iPad at no charge to me (just this once, only). 
    I have to admit, that calling and talking with these guys was very helpful.  Everyone was friendly and cheering.  Plus I wasn't calling India (no offence to India).  I am definitely going to continue purchasing Apple products if this how their support works.  If only Cisco could learn to work that way...

  • The games apps in my IPAD2 won't open and i can't even download it says regarding my id...what is wrong with my IPAD

    i am having problem with my IPAD2...i can't open the games or the apps i've downloaded here...what is wrong and what shall i do so i can open it again because some of my games here are paid apps...please help me...thanks and GOD bless.

    You need to upgrade to 10.10.3 - it's on software update.
    That will give you the new Photos.app.
    It will also be possible to download the up-to-date version of iPhoto:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • What's wrong with my Satellite L305D-S5892 screen?

    I never had any problems with it before, the screen as shown in the video would often do whats shown then the screen would resume fine no problems. now all it does is that.
    I hooked my laptop to my HDTV and it displays it fine, but it doesn't on the laptop screen.
    I was looking for a new laptop if it costs too much to fix/replace screen but the option is there for me to replace the screen at a fraction of paying for a new one.
    Has anyone had this problem before? and do you think its something worse?
    what would you recommend as far as to fix screen or not?
    I know the option's there to just buy a new one, but any info on whats wrong (i know screens messed up) and your recommendations, i don't have a warranty anymore for it so any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks in advance the link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMauAZRgJQU

    >I hooked my laptop to my HDTV and it displays it fine, but it doesn't on the laptop screen.
    Since the screen on the external monitor is OK, I dont think the issue might be related to GPU (graphic chip) malfunction.
    It could b something wrong with the internal display, display cables, fl inverter, etc
    As you see, there could be different reasons for that and its hard to say what part might cause this issue.
    But if its display then an fix would be a costly affair because notebook screens are expensive notebook parts. However, if its only a small part like FL inverter or some cables then its worth a fix.
    Anyway, I recommend firstly updating the graphic card driver and checking if BIOS is up to date.
    If both have been done and no improvements are noticeable, then ASP should check the parts.

  • TS1702 What's wrong with my ipad if the apps are not downloading

    I am trying to download some apps but all it says is "waiting" and I have been "waiting" for about an hour.  I do not have any (other) apps downloading except for the ones I am having problems with. Please help whenever possible.

    I have posted these suggestions many times and some of them have worked for other users in the past. Give them a try - in the order that they are typed below. Maybe something will work for you.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot 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.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • A1438 Lightning AV adapter not working am with my IPad 4th Gen

    Hi,
    I have IPad 4 th Gen model A1458. When I try to use the Lightning AV adapter model A1348 , it never detects that and coUtd not mirror my iPad to my to via HDMI cable.
    aaccording to the apple support details, table given that this both versions should be compatible. My AV adapter is also a genuine Apple product.
    appreciate any help to troubleshoot and fix to this problem
    regards
    ram

    I think your going to have to go to the apple store to get this sorted out.
    Did it work before? Does it work with a different TV/projector? Did it work with ios 7.x? Are there other A/V input ports on tv projector? Try all others. Check settings on tv.
    Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable. Even some older Apple av cables do not work with 8.x ( so I have read ).  go to the apple store.
    The news isn't good.

    I read that if you say the correct things in an apple store they will give you a new cable.

  • What is wrong with my iPad/charger?

    I bought the new iPad Air in October. When I try to charge it, I am forced to plug and unplug the charger many times for it to actually work. However, when plugged in, the iPad doesn't charge. The charging icon is there, but it has been on 39% for 12 hours! What do I do? Does anyone know what could be wrong?

    Try a reset first. Hold down the Home and power buttons until the Apple logo shows up.  Let the iPad reboot.
    This sometimes unsticks the battery meter.  
    If the battery meter does not change after a reboot, then yes, you may need to take it in for service.  Since its still under warranty, worst case scenario is you get a replacement free of charge.

  • Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

    Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

    I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!
