My ipad screen has turned to green!!!!

lmao....Love the talk about physical abuse to get an electronic device working again...Glad it works, but I don't know I could work up the courage to try that.

Thats what happend to me, i accidently droppped it and now it became green and other colours, it was all frizzly. Then i was so scared and did not dare to tell my family. So i search it up, it did not have really useful answers. I was thinking, it only happened when i dropped it, so perhaps drop it again? But i actually bang it on the floor a few time and it just became normal.

Just Bang Bang Bang it!

Omg I never thought this work, I even called an apple representative and chatted with online and they totally said don't do that. However their option to fix it was a trip to their store and spend 250 dollars. No thanks. So I hit it and knocked and it didn't work. I was getting ****** and I slapped it a couple times on the back and when I turned it back around viola! It was fixed. It really works, better than spending 250 dollars for them hitting it in the right place

Well if its under warranty take it to apple...

If not this couldn't hurt....I heard this working for people. I don't know the reason behind it, but for some it has worked. Turn your iPad off. Turn it over and do 3 semi-hard knocks on the back. Then turn it back on.

THIS WORKED! I just went to the apple store as my ipad2 turned pink/green. There was no other alternative given except to buy a new ipad. I saw this thread and hit the back several times with my hand and nothing. Then, I knocked the upper left corner on my knee...and VOILA! Normal screen! This just saved me at least $250!!!!!! Thank you all for even discussing this. I am very, very happy.

First, try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced, could be a lose cable connection inside the iPad.

My iPad just got this symptom earlier. I tried many taps on the back but failed to return to its normal. On my disappointment, i stand up, almost lost my temper but give a bigtime slap at the back and BOOM. Its back to normal 🙂 🙂 🙂

I dropped my Ipad from a high shelve and down on the floor...:( The screen turned green! I have tried to knock the pad on the back, but notthing happens...should I slap it HARD? I am not sure how hard I should tap it...? 🙂

Dude - genius. This worked. Saves a trip to the Apple store or buying a new one. I doubt they smash iPads in the back 3 times for you at the Genius Bar. Definitely a loose wire or something. Thank you!!

My ipad screen turned gren and fuzzy and I was freaking out and was reading up on repair cost and came across this thread and tried hitting the back didnt work at first and hit it a final time and it went back to normal 🙂

Ok so my screen did the same thing, and the hitting the back thing didnt work. In previous problems, my screen just wont turn on, so i just tried hitting the corners like usual but that didnt seem 2 work this time. So i started banging the sides on the floor and the screen wouldnt come on. I then hit the corners lightly and the screen was back to normal! I think just hitting it will help for practically everything because i talked to an expert to see how much t would cost and he said that the strip in the iPad that turns on the screen was just dislodged. Hitting th iPad seems to get it back in place.

Thank you, thank you, this worked! Can't believe it. I shut the iPad off, turned it over and knocked the upper left corner against my knee a few times. Waited a minute, turned it back on and it was back to normal!

Wow. I can't believe that pounding it on the back actually works.

I dropped my iPad 2 on the floor in its case and when I turned it on it was green. After turning it of, I could still see th images but it hand a green tinge and was fuzzy. Came across thread in my silent, desperate, private **** of searching from my phone. Left the room for a few minutes to thump the back and shazam, the thing was back to normal.

Thanks for saving this woman from a very public cursing rant or crying jag...it really could have gone either way.

This worked for me too. I tapped it really gently at first, then hit it a little bit harder with the palm of my hand, but it still didn't do anything. I was about to give up, but (admittedly, in frustration) I gave it one last firm slap on the back - and turned it on again - and the Apple logo was beautifully bright and white again!! No more fuzzy green!!!! Thank you!!!!

Hi well read this and had my doubts as I don't think the answer to fix something is to " hit it" but it worked!!!

I hit the back three , four times and nothing,then my girlfriend held it face up while smacking the back of it and TA DA!! I still don't believe this worked and kinda makes me nervous but ....yeah it worked!!so thank to all for this crazy advice!! : )
