Chosen Solution
My little sister dropped my iPad 2 on the floor. The colors on the screen are a bit out of their normal color. The screen looks a bit also like an old version of a t.v. with scratching lines. The keyboard is green. Once you unlock the iPad the screen looks like the colors of a 3-D screen. Help please! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UXfSdG-CwYU
Before you go replacing the LCD try giving the back of the iPad a solid smack with your hand. There are many cases where the iPad has been dropped knocking the LCD cable slightly loose. Hitting it may knock it back in place. Do a search on this site and you’ll see many examples of this.
A hard smack on the back–left side will set it right—for now. Ultimately you’ll need to open that sucker up and properly re-seat the LCD cable.
So I just knocked my iPad off the side and my screen went very fuzzy and the colours changed,I read this and I smacked it a few times on the back and nothing seemed to have happened,I then smacked all parts of the back of the iPad,I turned it back round and it had looked like nothing had happened however when I was scrolling down to read a few more of the suggestions,I had started panicking at this point however I was scrolling down for more for approxametly 20 seconds,I looked back at my screen to try another suggestion and then it was SUDDENLY back to normal if not better I 100% recommend trying this as it worked an absolute dream for me x
Can I get it changed at the istore? It’s less than one year old.
Yooooooooo this is crazy but me and my roomate were making crazy videos and my ipad fell…started getting distorted. I thought it was done for. I joked that if i just slapped it like it fell maybe it would magically work. Googled ipad display problems and found this site. Blown away at all the actuall responses to just smack it….butttteerraa ya girl did it and my baby is back in business!!! Took about a min bit it worked!!!!!!!!!! Hallellujah
Someone please I need somebody’s help NOW! My iPad Air 2 just dropped today and I can’t get it fixed, while I was watching YouTube videos, I thought that the colors looked weird, and that was I thought. My entire iPad has been punished with blue, pink, fuzzy green, and red colors. I was looking up here, and the only way is to smack and whack it. I tried it and it can’t do the trick. I did it almost 100 times roughly whacking it, but it just made it worse. Please help me here, I can’t deal with flashing colors.
tried tapping the back of my iphone but it didn’t work at all.
Believe it or not,it’s really worked after 10 times of hard smack!Dropped my ipad 2 yesterday and came across this solution!Thanks,God it’s fixed and back to normal now :)
Is this a joke??? I tried this - nothing happened except that my hand hurt
It worked!! Thank you! I really thought it wouldn’t but it did. Thank you so much!
My Grandfathers iPad has weird colors on it it is kinda of like it is inverted but I can still see the original colors I tried hitting really hard on the back multiple times but it is not working and I hit it every where
Just woke up to my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 doing the same old TV flickering. Give the back 3 smacks with my palm, good as new again! Thanks!
