Black screen on ipad 2?

Incredible!!

Really thought this was ******** but with 14 pages of people saying it helps I also tried it...

Having a wood floor I laid down a towel and dropped the iPad on the floor a few times, but it didn't helped.

Slapped it on the sofa a few times with no effect.

Frustrated I hit the iPad to the side of the bed and guess what.... IT WORKED!!! :-D

Thanks so much for the help!!

My Mother-in-law and I laughed at the suggestion of dropping it again. Even as we tried it we laughed it off as not gonna work...Until it did work and the screen went completely back to normal. Saved us bunches and lots of time to drop it two feet off the ground on carpet. Thanks for the idea!!! Wish we had read this info before I did a factory reset and lost all her data and pictures tho! Seriously this does work, just don't listen to your common sense. And do at your own risk, cuz there's probably no guarantee that all cases like this will work, just glad it did for us.

Even though you already tried to restore it, try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

You may have to take it into an Apple Retail Store and get them to replace the screen, if you are still under warranty(1 year comes free) for a low price or even free.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

1. You must press the Sleep and Home button together

2. For about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo

Bring it to your nearest Apple shop and let them look at it.

Call AppleCare and see what they can do, your friend could have gotten it back or gotten a new one if they informed it was lost, I'm sure.

You could try the following link, although I'm not sure if it'd work in Canada.

I am having the same issue, When I plugged it into my computer it said its locked with a passcode and coan't turn on.

I keep pushing home and power at the same tiem and its not working

Not the same issue at all. Plug it in to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

Ok, I've had this exact problem a few times now. The problem is you probably dropped it or set it down too hard and something came loose. This may sound crazy, but dropping it again has worked for me on three different occasions. Try to drop it at the original angle it was dropped the first time. Don't do it so hard that it breaks, but just a one or two foot drop on to a carpeted floor. Each time I've gotten the black screen of death has been about 3-4 months apart.

Do this at your own risk.

Omg, I thought your suggestion was just plain stupid. To tell the truth, you just fixed my problem !

Your method was to be proven the best one yet. No factory reset or anything else... Just hit it quite hard 😀

I just kneed it and it got turned back on again ! 😀

Thanks a lot !
