Q: iPad2 Sensitivity and Flickering problems

G'day... my iPad2 (which I've had for a few years now but well looked after) is now suffering from hyper sensitivity when I touch the screen, i.e. on Facebook I "like" a post and it goes to the picture and back to the post several times with just one touch on the "like" button without me even touching the picture....

 

Also I have a problem where the screen, especially on Skype, goes from a full screen picture of the person I'm talking to, to a half screen picture and flicks back and forth between the two on a rapid, random basis...

 

Ive used my iPad2 with no problems at all for a few years and it is placed on a cool flat surface when it is not being used. It never leaves my office however it does have a crack in screen but its been there for months without this affecting the unit.

 

Anybody got any ideas ??

 

Thanks,

RF.

iPad 2, iOS 9.3.5

    You can try a Reset and a Restore, but I would think the crack has a lot to do with your issues. These things only get worse with use.

     

    Reset: hold down the Home and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo (10-15 seconds).

    Restore your iDevice: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

    If your backup is to iTunes, make sure it's encrypted.

    Thanks Rysz... I'll give it a try.. ref the crack, to be honest, yes I can see what you're saying and I should get it repaired (again !!) but its been like that for several months with no problems.. now I have 2 problems at once... I'll let you know how I get on.
