So it fell on the corners and the screen suddenly went black without a single scratch in the screen. When i try to turn it on there is sound and the touch works but there is no light it’s just pitch black. Anyone had this problem and if so any idea what causes this? How much will it cost to fix it? Do i need a new screen or it’s the motherboard damaged?
thanks in advance
You iPad has suffered damage - and will require repair.
You might be well advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:

Alternatively, you can use Apple’s mail-in repair service:
If your iPad is covered under AppleCare+ warranty, Apple can replace your iPad’s screen for $49. Otherwise, the cost of repairing your iPad’s screen is $249.
