I have an iPad 6th gen that is 5 years old. It has been working just fine until one day I pickup my iPad and see that my screen is glitching and is completely unusable. The iPad, Siri everything works fine and I can even see the light of the screen change when I touch the screen. But the screen is just completely broken. I haven't dropped my iPad and neither it has any water damage or prior repair. Anyone one know why this might happen?
iPad, iPadOS 15
Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the problem persists after attempting the forced-restart, your iPad screen or screen hardware has fault that will require repair.
You might be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test your iPad. After assessment, you’ll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
