Hi VanGogh91,


Have you tried restarting your iPad? This can sometimes clear up minor software issues. Also, if the device is unresponsive you can try force restarting it:


"Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons"


Here's a link to the full resource that has directions for other model iPads as well: Force restart iPad

However, if this is a hardware issue you can take a look at your service options here: iPad Repair & Service


Take care.

Took it to the store. It was a hardware issue with the screen itself. The iPad was only a little over 2 years old so I was very disappointed that something as important as the screen could fail so quickly. This iPad had never been even dropped or abused, but repairing it was 75% the cost of purchasing a new one. I love the tablet but not impressed with reliability.
