My ipad 2 is stuck on a dark blue screen and wont do anything

I dropped it 😟

Is this permanate damage? Anything i can do?

It can turn on and off, and i hear the taking photo sound, and keyboard typing depending on where i tap..So i guess this isnt exactly a freeze? I cant see anything..

I already tried the sleep/wake thing, servel times, and after a few google searches with nothing helping, i hoped someone here could tell me what i should do

Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.


The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.


Out-of-Warranty Service

If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)



iPad model

Out-of-Warranty Service Fee

iPad mini

$219

iPad 3rd, 4th, Air

$299

iPad 2, iPad

$249


A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.

Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
