    Hello JoyceBOT,

     

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like you are trying to mirror the iPad to the TV with a Lightning Digital AV Adapter.

     

    If it was working before then you know how to set the iPad to mirror.

     

    Please see the troubleshooting steps in this article (and of course insure the TV is set for the correct input).

     

    About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:

     

    • Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    • Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    • Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    • Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    • Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.

    Take care,

    Nubz
