Is your iPad screen completely blank and unresponsive? Don’t worry, we’ve seen it all at Imfixed, and there are several ways to get your iPad working again. Let us walk you through a few potential fixes, and if those don’t help, we’re here to sort it for you professionally and affordably.
Dead Battery
The most common culprit behind a blank iPad screen is a dead battery. The first thing to do is plug your iPad into a reliable charger and give it a few minutes. If you see the Apple logo, your device just needed a recharge.
Try a Hard Reset
If charging doesn’t work, your iPad’s software may have crashed, causing the screen to go blank while some functions still run in the background. You can try a hard reset:
- For iPads with a Home button: Hold the power and home buttons together for up to 30 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
- For newer iPads: Quickly press volume up, then volume down, then press and hold the power button until the logo appears.
DFU Mode
If the screen stays blank, it could be a deeper software issue. You might need to put your iPad into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode to restore its settings. This is a more advanced step, and if you're unsure, our technicians can take care of it safely at Imfixed.
Check Brightness Settings
Sometimes it’s just a case of the brightness being too low. Try adjusting it via the Control Centre or ask Siri to brighten the screen if you can’t see anything.
Fixing an Unresponsive iPad Screen
If your iPad screen is unresponsive, there could be several causes. Here's what you should check:
Dust or Debris
Dirt and dust can affect touch sensitivity. Use a soft microfibre cloth to clean your screen. For more stubborn grime, lightly dampen the cloth with water and 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Outdated iOS
A sluggish or unresponsive screen can be a sign your iPad’s software is out of date. Head to:
- Settings > General > Software Update
Install the latest update and restart the device to see if performance improves.
Charger Interference
Sometimes a faulty charging cable or accessory can interfere with touchscreen responsiveness. Unplug everything and try again. If it works, it may be time to replace that charger.
