iPad dropped, now with red screen/background

Thank you so much!! It worked!! Grandbaby dropped hubby's iPad while facetiming and I was so scared, but it's perfect again! Thank you so much!

O..M..G!! My daughter dropped her iPad over a year ago. I didn't know until last August that is wasn't working so I bought her a new one for her birthday (mostly because she was moving overseas to teach and I wanted a way to FaceTime with her!) I found her old one in our car, as we were going to drop it off at Best Buy to have them dispose of it. I figured I give it one more try and plugged it in. It was displaying the red screen, so now I was able to research and found this forum. THANK GOODNESS we didn't turn it in to Best Buy! It's working! I was able to first return all the the apps but there was an annoying reddish background. After chatting with my daughter and finding out exactly where she drop it (near the power cord input) I gave it few more slaps on that end and no more red!! I was going to buy my other daughter an iPad mini for xmas as her iPad is definitely on it's last leg! Just save a few hundred $$!! Thank you again for all the advice on this forum!! 🙂

Worked like a charm!!! I thought I lost my iPad.Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙂

Thank you, too! I didn't believe this would word. My IPad2 fell off the table on to a carpeted but hard floor, went all fuzzy. Smacking it did not work but bouncing on the corner that I believed hit the ground worked. So, thank you very much.

The wonders of science!

Wow! Can't believe hitting the back of the iPad would work but it did! Brilliant! Thanx!!

I firmly tapped my ipad 5 times on one kneecap and 5 times on the other. The wacky wavy lines and odd colors went away!! Back to totally normal!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. This is a joke. I was skeptical at first, but it really work! Thank you for saving my iPad mini retina!😁😀

I don't know why my ipad screen turned to be pinkish, but I try to slap it several times in the back, and it solved the problem....

I have same problem. After i read all your messages, i tryed too to "fix" it in the same way but no luck, actualy gers worse No more green, or red , just blu, black and lots of orange

thank you so much , I tried everything recommended but it did not work but when I did as you recommend (twist the iPad in a diagonal fashion) it worked ;-) my son is over the moon now.

what do u do?????????????????????

TThanks! Helped a lot!

I read this and thought I was probably wasting my time, but I slapped the back of the iPad maybe seven or eight times and poof! It worked. It looks fine now. Thanks for suggesting it. Apple wasn't too likely to help, since I've had this iPad for over four years. I was really depressed about it breaking because I use it every day. All better! Thanks again.

Thank you it worked for me too

I went to unlock my IPad and saw that it had a funny red tinge, so I shut it down and the rebooted it but nothing happened. In the end, I searched the Internet and found this. You guys literally saved my life, my mum would have been super annoyed because I have to use this iPad most days. Although I did have to carry on whacking its back for about 5 minutes and my hand turned red, these tips eventually payed off and now my iPad is back to normal.
