I dropped my iPad a while ago, which resulted in the screen going black. I took it to the Genius bar and they said nothing can be done about it. So I searched the internet and found some possible solutions:
# I tried holding the home and lock screen button together for 30-60 seconds, nothing happened.
# I gave it a few taps and slaps on the back, facing down.
# Then I held the home and lock buttons again and it booted up only to the logo.
After giving it a few more tries, the iPad randomly boots up sometimes when I hold the home and lock buttons and goes off after a few minutes or even seconds. Once it went off while I was playing a video tho and I was still able to hear the audio after the screen went black. Also, it shows up as a device on my pc. This makes me think something is wrong with the display. After the screen goes off, I can only boot it up by holding home and lock screen button and not by just the lock screen button.
I'd really appreciate some suggestions on how to be able to fix it.
