Hello All,
I have an A1475 Ipad (iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular)
The screen has stopped working.
When charged, I can hear alerts.
When I plug into PC, a dialog box alerts me in Itunes that I need to log in on my ipad, to enable backup in Itunes.
However, I cannot log into my Ipad - due to my screen that has gone black.

Does anyone know of a program I can use, that allows me to log in my pin and backup my data to Itunes?
Your help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

I can't think of anything that doesn't require you to first install an app on the iPad, which is kinda unhelpful in your situation......

Just an idea: Is it completely unresponsive or might it be an option to try to enter the pin code blind? Sometimes you have the fingerprints of the last pin code input still on your touchscreen so you can see where the virtual buttons are placed.
