Black Screen Ipad

[Giggsie]

My iPad was ok when I closed it when I picked it up later it would not come on. Tried hard reset no joy. It is iPad 7th generation totally black screen. Anybody any ideas or have this happen?

Is it charged?

Try plugging it in to charge anyway. Or try connecting it to the computer.

I assume you have checked it's charged? Tried it plugged in? Next thing is to connect it to and external screen, if it comes up on there then the screen is knackered.

Plug it in, wait at least 30 minutes and hold down the on button

Yes tried charging it that was my first thought it had ran out of charge but nothing thanks for replies. Not tried it plugged in.

I left it on charge then tried holding down the on button and the home button but nothing

My old iPad which I sometimes still use does something similar. Try any of this.
- Try a different recharging unit and lead.
- Leave for a few hours, then retry while still plugged in.
- If you do get it to work again, turn off auto screen brightness, and manually dim it.

Thanks for helpful replies. Buenchico have read through apple support too. My brother coming round to try this connecting to laptop.

This happened to mine and my repairer said it is very common and not economically repairable.

With mine, it is a battery problem not a screen problem, and costs about £80 for an approved Apple Repairer to fit one. A lot cheaper than a new iPad.

It happened to an older generation ipad I had. The advice was, if all else fails, to lay it face down on your lap and give it a couple of firm slaps. It worked for me.

It’s bad news not repairable something to do with CPU it’s a common fault in iPad 7 th edition seemingly. Expensive to last only 2 years been well looked after.
