My Ipad screen not working please help me?

I dropped my iPad on the floor, but I have a jacket case for it. My screen turned black, but there was a little light coming from it. I pressed the power button, then slid the Power Off bar, though it wasn't visible on the screen. (I remembered its location on the screen.) Then, my screen turned yellow. Please help me.

Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back. This is not a cruel joke—it works!

"Hey guys! Sometimes the smack will work, since a hard jolt is most likely what caused the issue in the first place. If that doesn't work, you'll need to open up the iPad and gain access to the LCD cable. Most likely that cable is loose and needs to be reinserted into the ZIF connector.

Then if that doesn't solve your problem you will need a new LCD. I can't really give you exact links to help you with the repair until I know what model of iPad you have. There is a number on the back that starts with A and then has 4 digits after that. It should say either A1395, A1396 or A1397 if it is an iPad 2.

You can find out what model you have on this page on Apple's website.

Just let me know what model iPad you have (iPad 2, iPad 3, etc.) and I'll help you figure it out."

I tried hitting the back of my ipad but that still didn't work. But then my friend suggested to hold down the power button, home button, and one of the volume buttons for a long time and then it worked!!!!!!!

"This is crazy. That slap trick actually works. I was about to give up, but maybe it has to do with the location of the slap, along with your level of frustration. Note: you don't necessarily have to strike the iPad harder, you just have to be very frustrated when you do. It can tell.

So, I hit mine above right above the Apple logo while it was inverted (upside down) with the requisite degree of frustration, and, viola!"

Did you try holding both the power and home button at the same time?

"It sounds like one of two things has happened to your device:

If you can still see images on the screen, but it is very very dark, to the point of being unusable without squinting, your backlight has probably cracked.If you cannot see any images on the screen, but you can see a difference between On and Off in how bright the black screen is, then your backlight is fine, but your LCD is likely either not fully connected, or otherwise cracked/separated.

I suspect it's the latter, due to the reference to the screen turning yellow. If you remove the front glass/digitizer, you can check the connection to the board. If reseating the connection fails to solve the problem, I'd recommend replacing the LCD, as that sounds to me the most likely point of failure in this particular situation."
