Hello,

i have an ipad 5,

it’s been damaged but i don’t know how,

the screen isn’t damaged, smashed or cracked in any way,

the chassis isn’t bent or knocked or out of shape,

the screen is still visible underneath,
home screen button still works, volume etc, power button

ive heard it could be a cable that’s come loose ?

i’ll try and attach an image

many thanks in advance if anyone has come across this,

My guess is damage to the display ribbon cable. Just buy a new one. The 10.2” is a fantastic value. You owe it to yourself to upgrade.
