I have an iPad running the latest version of iOS 11.4.1
While using it, the screen suddenly turned black. You can tell the backlight is still on, but the screen itself is blank blackness.
The iPad still responds to the power button (that is, pressing it once turns off the screen backlight, pressing it again turns the backlight back on)
I forced it to restart by pressing the home button + power at the same time. When I start it up again, I can't tell if it finished booting. There's no Apple logo, or anything. Just a black screen (with the blacklight on).
I plug it into my computer. It asks me to authorize access to this computer by entering the passcode on my iPad. Of course, I can't do this since I can't use the screen.
[doublepost=1531428152][/doublepost]Going into "Find my iPhone" on the web shows that the iPad in question is powered off and unavailable.
And even though the iPad responds to the power button, it doesn't respond to the magnetic cover opening the closing.
