Hello DonnaDil,
We'd love to assist you with your iPad. The following steps may be able to to get the screen to respond correctly:
- "Restart your iPad.
- Press and hold the top button until the power off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait for 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.
- Make sure that your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.
- Disconnect any Lightning or USB-C accessories. If your screen works after removing an accessory, try using a different outlet, cable, or charger.
- Remove any cases or screen protectors."
