Given your description, you would 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 hands-on test and assess your iPad.


If a screen hardware fault is identified, as is perhaps likely, you will be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
