Shaking screen

I have an iPad mini 2. It still works but the screen looks like it’s shaking. It’s not non stop it does it for a second or two then stops then start after another second or two. I can still use it as normal and everything works. This is what it is doing. It looks like the screen itself moves up just a hair then shakes then moves back down to its normal position and is fine for a second or two.

Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




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.



If the problem doesn't clear, you will likely have a screen or other hardware fault that will require repair. You might be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you will be able to explore your available options:
