Oct 26, 2014 2:22 PM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby Mlebrown,my daughter dropped out iPad with the case on it and the screen went black. I plugged it in think the battery was low but when I pushed the buttons to turn it back on I could hear the camera flash. I had to really whack my ipad and for a lot longer than I thought. Just as I started to loose all hope the apple symbol appeared. So with a sore hand I type my thank you for this crazy way to fix an iPad. I'll admit when I first read your response I thought "way to kick a person when they're down. Like this would ever work." But I read on and so many people said it worked and like so many others I had nothing to loose. It works people I promise.

Mar 9, 2016 1:45 PM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby userremoved,Yes, it worked for me, too. I tried smacking the back several times and had given up hope. Then I smacked the side and I couldn't believe it! The Apple logo came on and then my iPad booted up. Sooo happy!

Nov 30, 2014 6:38 AM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby yarelmy1,Hi. My IPad felt sideways too. I tried this and didn't work. I don't know if I did it wrong. But I tried in so many ways and still not working. I'm heartbroken. I had this with sacrifice, and its so frustrating to me my iPad doesn't work. Help please.

Dec 7, 2014 5:52 PM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby Philippecirilo,Thank you! This is how I did it and worked for me:
- I held down the home button and the on/off button for about 15econds,
- Placed the ipad face down on the bed and gave the ipad logo at the back one good smack
- I held down the home and off/on button again
Ta-dan! Working screen!

Dec 9, 2014 12:53 PM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby Katya79,I cannot believe this just worked!!! I was so distressed, my ipad just fell from a height but with a good case. A good slap facedown brought it back to its former glory- thanks so much Alan!!

Dec 17, 2014 4:59 AM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby exraff,OMG!!! This made me smile when reading all the success stories and I headed off upstairs to find my sons 'blue screen' ipad. It had been forgotten about for around 3 months as we thought it would cost too much to be repaired.
Turned it upside down, smacked it a couple of times and it had life! Unfortunately though the screen was brightly coloured and not responding when I tried to swipe the 'slide' to turn on. Turned it over again and gave it a few further light smacks - woohoo!!! It is now fully working!
My son is going to over the moon when he gets in from school and I give him the good news.
Thank you so much Alan, you are a legend!
