What makes iPad screen black and how to fix it

There are a lot of factors that could make iPad screen black. The iPad screen could go black due to:

1. An app crash.
2. iOS bugs.
3. Accidentally activating Voice Over on iPad.
4. Faluty hardware.

Here's how to tackle this iPad black screen problem.

1. iPad screen goes black but it's still working.

Some people notice that when their iPad screen goes black, it's still working as they can still activate Siri or hear notification sounds. If that's the case, try to activate Siri and ask her to turn off Voice Over. According to some users from the Apple forum, accidentally turning on Voice Over on iPad could make iPad screen black and refuse to react to touch. But you can still use Siri to turn it off and the iPad screen would be back on. Also, you can try force restarting your iPad by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds, your iPad should restart and back to normal after doing so.

2. iPad screen goes black and won't respond to any touch at all.

If your iPad screen goes black and is totally frozen, try force restarting it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds, and you should see the Apple logo appears on the screen soon. Don't underestimate the power of a reboot, sometimes rebooting your iPad can fix a lot of problems like system bugs or app crashes.

If the above methods didn't work, try charging your iPad and see if the iPad black screen is because the battery died. If it is, you should see a low battery icon on the screen. If your iPad is still black when you charge it, then it might be a hardware issue and you might have to contact Apple for tech support.
