dropped iPad - black screen

Crazy as it seems I had a black screen stuck ipad after a drop.. I udated software and noticed it was still alive but the screen was just flashing occasionaly while going through the start up prcess with latest update to iSO 7, but still the screen was black..out of desperation a few hard smacks on the sides with my hands and low and behold..a miracle, it works perfectly... Very touch iPad..handle with care. 🙂

I have the same problem but when I dropped it.it turn off completely and still turns on but u can't see anything but when u turn it u can see a little light

you are awesome. it worked for me to 🙂

I have the same problem, my ipad dropped and suddenly turn to black screen. After read the posts, i tried to drop my ipad from many angle on carpet floor, and then push the power button and home for few second, and its work. My ipad works again. Its owesome 🙂

It does work!! My son dropped it pretty hard on the floor an the screen went black (with a bit of backlight). I tried to reset it, turn it off a few times and on again and nothing happened! Then I tried the "miracle" slap in the back and after a couple of increasingly harder slaps, it suddenly worked! Thanks for the great advice. My son was devastated and now I'll be his hero.

I Droped my ipad and screen went black, after a month i finally was about to buy LCD from ebay to replace it and right before that i google it and this help site came out.... Cant believe after i droped ipad 2 times it came to life again!!!

u guys just save me $70..

P.S. I really cant believe it actually work

What the heck? Three whacks on the knee and it turned back on. Is that in the manual? 🙂 Thank you!

Help please my sons iPad which is under my I.D name suddenly turns blank too, we tried to smack the iPad Ups and Down as what most of

everyone's commented in the previous still doesn't work, not only me upset but my son was devastated as most of his homework and stuff from school and other education games are on it, dont know what to do as Apple Store is too far away for us especially I have a toddler & a new born baby, hopefully a miracle come overnight

The reseting and turning off didn't work. So I said what the heck, tried dropping on carpet a few times that didn't work. Slapped on back a few times moving around back of Ipad several times. Then I tried again increasing harder and the white Apple appeared then my ipad came back up to my home screen. That's Amazing!! Thanks!!!

Our IPad is working after it was dropped by our 13 months old baby. i did a miracle slap on its back side. I heat it with my wrist and palm with a hard clap! Brilliant advise. Thank you a lot! I am giggling all the way to bed so that tomorrow morning I can tell the children and wife. Just an open hand slap! ✋ impama!
