so i dropped my mom's ipad and i dont know what to do... the sound and stuff works on it but the screen is black but it still has like a backlight i really need to know if this can be fixed PLEASE HELP!!!

so i droped my mom's ipad on accedent while walking inside helping carry bags inside... and at fist no one really thought anything of it but we got inside and my stepdad went to check something on it and was like um... something wrong and i guess the fall put it into shock or something but we held down the 2 buttons and it light up but it was black and just with the back light on. And it still wont work so im not sure what to do... I know where the slide to turn it on is so i did that and it made the click noise to signal it was on and i pushed where an app would be and it went to it and made the music to the app... so it works but for some reason the screen is being all stupid... I really need to know if there is a way to fix the screen because if theres not im in a ton of trouble... please help!!!!

Search this site for "red screen." I know it is not the same, but try turning it over on your lap and slapping it with increasing vigor. Check it after each slapping. Don't do it to extreme. You seem to have nothing to lose. Tell us if it works.

If so, you have something loose inside, so tell all who use it about it and ask that it be handled gently.

I doubt there is you dropped it and broken the screen

try holding the top button and the round button at bottom of screen

hold both until maybe an Apple logo appears if nothing after 20 secs

the iPad is toast

It can be exchanged at an apple store for around $249 to $219 depending on model

Apple do not do repairs

I would own up now before it gets more complicated
