iPad blue screen of death

If this is the same screen you see, well this morning it happened to me on "shut down" my battery was dead then i knocked it then i saw a light blue screen with the little spinning thing in the middle them bam dead, on the cycle to work my iPad was playing on my mind so much that I almost crashed.

I spent time with apple care, then insurance no easy task. Being on an island in the caribbean for months more thier is no Apple store or even a post service here.

To sort it out I remember from the days of Apple early iPod ownership a combination of pressing buttons to get you a reset. these failed but i thought as the screen brightens from its off mode when i press the buttons i know the screen has some life so i thought i would try the slider which of course was not visable but then hey it might be under the blank screen this lead to some success I got this blue screen for a period of 2-10 seconds.(taking the photo was fun) I imagine a "General reset" might do something when the blue sceen appeared which failed. I then plugged it in and did the same then BAM it worked.

I am not going to lie in saying I was excited because that would be an understatement when it worked, had there been a video camera secretly filming my reaction, then putting it on youtube could well have gone viral 🙂))))

One thing I will say is when these things break, my life changes in that I have so much on one unit such as Manuals and such as well as Zinio for magazines AND Spotify for music so when it failed you ( like any lover of iPad stuff would admit,) might feel "crying inside" would be an understatement. All this fun today and I have realised I need to have TWO so roll on iPad 3!

Hope this helps

Not to add to the confusion, and I am glad you got it back to life..... Every so often a post like this shows up, and the common denominator is the zion magazine app. Of it happens again, dump that app, and see if that is part of the problem.

Hi,

So it happened agaian today just shut down with 65% battery do you think I would be able to get this sorted in the Apple store as the baby is only 6 months old from purchase? If so is there anyway i can log it as I wont be back in the UK for 2 months. I bought it on the Apple store.

I got it working again doing the same thing. by the way.

thanks

thanks so much for telling me how to turn it off, i was on my porch and i dropped it and i didnt know what to do, i was going to reset but it didnt even show me my account.. again thanks so much bc if i wouldnt have found this, my dad would have killed me.... 😮

Is this because of non-OEM charging cables and adapters.

hi, were u out of warranty when they got the iphone replaced?
