How to fix IPad Pro 10.5 inch. IOS 17.6. Bright black screen of death?

So I upgraded my IPad Pro 10.5 inch from IpadOS 17.5 to IPadOS 17.6 yesterday. And it broke. All I see is a Bright Black screen of death. It’s still bright, but still dark. I restarted the IPad. It doesn’t work. It’s still bright black. I connected the IPad to my MacBook. iTunes can’t connect to the Ipad and because I can’t unlock my IPad without looking at the screen. I set the IPad into DFU mode and restored it to zero with all my data gone, it’s still bright back. iOS 17.6 permanently bricked my IPad Pro 10.5 inch. How do I fix this?

At the time of writing, iPadOS 17.5.1 is current.


If you have installed a beta version of iPadOS, as your description would suggest, you should have every expectation of encountering bugs or issues - which may, in extremis, render your device unusable. You should attempt to reinstall the current production version of iPadOS:

If you are unable to resolve the problem yourself, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.


Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to offer assistance:

Be aware that Apple generally will not provide assistance for devices with beta software currently installed - and as such your options may be very limited.
