Aug 16, 2015 11:07 PM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby pamelasixam,Hello Alan, a silly thing to do carrying my iPad under my arm as I was depositing recycle items in the bins yesterday. it slipped, slowly making its descent to the ground with pathetic attempts to stop it with my leg. I had hope that it would be alright as it appeared to have a slow motion journey to its doom. But it went black . I turned it on & off , but after a few seconds of distortion of colour it went permanently black. My husband calmly and patiently worked on it for a few hours eventually declaring it broken. This morning at 6 I was awoken with a very pleased face pering down at me me saying the iPad was working after several whacks as recommended. I was so thrilled . However, an hour has passed and the screen is starting to fade again. Do you have any further magical suggestions. Thank you for the whacking tip.
Pam

Sep 11, 2015 8:04 PM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby GV Mom,This is amazing! I dropped my iPad today, in its case, and the screen went blue. I could tell it was on, but it had no picture. So, I tried the slapping. I hurt my hand as much as I had to hit the iPad, but after 3 sets of slaps (hitting it all over the back), it finally came back on! My family and I are so thrilled that this really worked! Thank you so much!

Oct 28, 2015 10:07 PM in response to Yesha011by MissSea,Alan, thank you so much!! I cannot believe this worked -- my daughter dropped our iPad 2 (in an Otterbox, no less!) and the screen went blue. After a couple of good whacks, the screen snapped out of it. There's a bit of ghosting in the background (clearly the screen is damaged SOMEHOW), but it works! And my husband is so happy! Thank you, years later, for this advice!

Nov 15, 2015 12:34 AM in response to alanfromnewtownardsby fR3DoLiNo,I had my doubts, but after an hour of searching and seeing the same answers, I knew I had to try it. After about 9 slaps, it wouldn't work for me. I was so scared. The iPad was given to me by my school and if they knew I had "broken" it, who knows what the consequences are! I finally got the guts to hit the back, accepting my "fate", hard enough with my palm three times and I was like, "Holy sith, it worked!".
