Try a reset and see if they are still there after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.


If they are still there after the reset then you may need to contact Apple.

If it's happening on all apps, and on the homescreens, then I assume that it's a hardware fault. Another thing that you could try as the reset hasn't worked is a restore : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079


Edit : a third option is to then try a reset back to factory settings. Otherwise I think that it will be a hardware fault and only Apple might be able to do something with it.

It would depend on whether they have any service arrangements with Apple.


Otherwise you can select your country on the drop-down on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad , and then click the Visit The Support Page For This Product under the options on the left and then the Contact Support option on the left of that page
