My ipad screen has turned to green!!!!

Yesterday, I had used my ipad on the flight mode while i was on the airplaine then shot down. It was ok, but today i tried to turned on, screen was green. I can see a little bit what is it behind the green but screen is never turn to normal. Green is keep going when i trying to shut down on the turn off mode.


I think this is just screen problem not hard disk problem because i can see a little behind the green.


What can i do, please help!!!!!!

iPad 2, Windows 7

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.

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!! : )
