Today, January 8th, 2013, the same thing happened to my iPad. Used it yesterday just fine but when I turned it on today it had the grayish colored bar with different colored stripes running across the screen. It's really disappointing since my iPad is in perfect condition. I haven't called Apple yet to see if they would fix it or replace it but I have a feeling it will cost more than it's worth. I had bought it in October 2012 so it does seem to be an issue with iPads sold during this time period. Just thought I'd add to the forum in hopes that Apple will see just how many people are having this problem
Let me know the outcome I have an appointment with the Genius Bar soon!
Went to the local Irvine Apple store...pretty much told me to pay $250 for a refurbished model...not worth it, I walked out quickly without even resonding to the "genius" at the counter....
I am voting with my feet and not buying apple products again. That is a nice consequence for Apple.
I know losing children's work is heartbreaking. Sorry, and like I said before, don't buy Apple products.
You can try to fix it...the LCD kits are about $70 on eBay. But yes I agree...Apple isn't making any friends by not servicing this issue.
What does that usually cost and if I am not a techie can I do it myself?
I reset my entire iPad to the original shipped condition and it is still there. I am guessing it has something to do with the motherboard.
