Blank screen on iPad 2

My iPad 2 has a blank screen. It lights up when turned on but still blank. I have tried reset and connected to iTunes and restored. Still nothing. It uploads things from my iPad when connected to iTunes but still not working. Hep please?

Hi!


When you say "blank" do you mean a white or black screen, or something else?


You might want to try a hard reset if necessary -- hold down the home button and lock button for 10 seconds until you see the apple symbol, then let go. Hope this helps you!

I had the same problem when my grandson dropped the ipad2.


Rather than go to an Apple Store I decided to google the net for a possible fix. I came across a discussion within this forum which a person posted that you should drop the device from a height of 1-2 feet onto a carpet surface!!


Yes!!, exactly as your are thinking this very second...is this guy crazy!! With nothing to lose I had a couple of goes with it landing flat. Didnt work at first but also in the forum people had tried at different angles with success. So I gave it a go on an angle but only from a height of around 1 foot. Hey presto worked like magic. Strongly support this method!!
