Stripe on ipad screen

Hello


suddenly, my iPad began to show a vertical stripe on the screen (screen shot here)User uploaded file.

Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this stripe? When the screen has a white background, the stripe isn't visible.


I am with a iPad Air 2, running iOS 9.0.2.


Thanks

iPad Air, iOS 9.0.2, iPad Air 2

If this stripe appears on all Home screens, and all app screens it is a hardware problem in the iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have a technician examine your device. Or contact Apple Support.

Sorry but I do not see it on this screenshot. These line may be the sigh of the hardware/display issue. I would recommend to take your device to the Apple Store for further diagnostics if the steps below do not help:

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
