I am laughing so hard, thought this was a joke but there were enough positive comments for me to try it. Gave the back of my ipad a sharp whack with the bottom of my palm and screen came back to life. This is an original first gen ipad too so I was fully prepared to accept that it had finally just given up. Thanks so much dude
Then it is probably time to take your iPad to an Apple Store for evaluation. There may be a hardware issue with the device and you cannot do anything to fix that of there is.
Could this possibly help? (Found in a google search.)

I got this problem too.
The screen is totally black. You can see it " black-dim " when you turn it Off & On.
You can ear the email tones when I receive an email.
So it's definitvly working ... just show's a balck screen.
So here's what I did (don't get your hope's up .. I'm still stuck).
1- I tried to put it on recovery mode. It does ... but I can't see the usuall iTunes and connector image, I still get a black screen.
2- Rebooted it from recovery, still black
3- Did a full Restore, still black
Now it's totally empty and still the same black screen.
Any ideas ?
Try kneeing you ipad on the back with a considerable amount of force, that worked for me. I know it sounds crazy but something moved inside of your ipad and kneeing it will move it back. I promise I am not lying.
Ok, so this happene before... and then it happens a second time...all while studying abroad in India. I read this and I was like hmmmm sounds sketchy, but I am desperate... guess what?? It worked!! Thanks Riley!!!
I can't believe it, but this worked for me too! The ipad went black for days, and nothing worked. My Mac wouldn't even recognize it. I thought, what the heck, nothing to lose and I whacked it with my knee. It INSTANTLY came to life. Thanks!
Incredible! It worked instantly! Thanks!!!!!
Unbelievable. My husband was about to throw the thing out and get a new one, so I tried this as a last resort and I still can't believe it WORKED. It's like an old-school TV set...sometimes it just needs a good whack to get it going again!
This works!!! I just did it after trying the back patting method(which did not work). Thank you!!!!
This actually worked! I had thought my iPad was lost to me forever & kneeling on it worked. AMAZING!
Thanks Riley
OMG Riley you just saved my Ipad!! I had the same propblem with my Ipad and I could hear notifications coming in, but my screen was black. I thought it was going to be insane to knee my Ipad, but it really worked!! You saved my life... the nearest Apple store to me is 4 hours away!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!
Kneeling on it didn't work for me, but grabbing the ipad by diagonal corners and twisting it enough to make it flex slightly worked!
Did the twist, it worked for me.
