You can easily determine if you have a hardware or software. Take a screenshot when the issue is evident - and then review the captured screenshot image.


When reviewed, if the line is not present in the screenshot image, then you have demonstrated that you have a hardware fault. By contrast, if the line is visible in the screenshot, the something other than hardware will be the cause.


Note: When reviewing the image, rotating the iPad screen orientation by 90°, from Portrait to Landscape, will ensure that the image does not coincide with screen hardware defects if present.

If the test indicates that a hardware problem, a visit to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store is recommended - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad. This will likely inform your next steps:
