how do i do that?

Milvus

If you have iTunes on your computer plug the cable you use for charging your iPad into a USB slot on your computer. This should start iTunes automatically. When started you should see your iPad in the left hand column about halfway down under "Devices".
If it doesn't start iTunes automatically start it yourself and see whether it appears. This will give an idea of what might be possible to correct it

i haven't got itunes on anything!

Milvus

OK. That makes it trickier to reset if you can't get anything sensible on the screen. When you say you rebooted, do you mean you turned it completely off by holding the top black bar down until you got the "slide to power off" message up?

no i turned the router off for a while then turned it back on. this usually sorts things out but not this time.

Milvus

All that might do is reset your communication between your iPad and your router/internet. This might be tricky if your screen display isn't right but try this.
Hold down the top black button/bar on your iPad for 5-10 seconds. You should the get a message "slide to power off". Slide your finger over the screen message left to right and your iPad should turn off. Give it a couple of minutes the repeat the black button and you iPad should start up again, That is generally what a reboot means now. That may reset the iPad enough to clear the fault.
