My little sister dropped my iPad 2 on the floor. The colors on the screen are a bit out of their normal color. The screen looks a bit also like an old version of a t.v. with scratching lines. The keyboard is green. Once you unlock the iPad the screen looks like the colors of a 3-D screen. Help please! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UXfSdG-CwYU
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Before you go replacing the LCD try giving the back of the iPad a solid smack with your hand. There are many cases where the iPad has been dropped knocking the LCD cable slightly loose. Hitting it may knock it back in place. Do a search on this site and you'll see many examples of this.

Found out from other forums that way to fix it is to turn it over and give it ~10 slaps on the back! Believe me it works ( got it off other forums )
Can confirm the smack on the rear case does work
Lol that worked I can't believe it!
I was extremely skeptical of this, specially because mine seemed to be much more skewed than what others seemed to be reporting. I tried it and it improved drastically but still wasn't back to normal so a few more pops and presto, it was like magic! Who ever said violence solves nothing!
Well this definitely works. Dropped mine just now and was in despair - until I decided to give it some good smacks....and fixed.

A hard smack on the back--left side will set it right---for now. Ultimately you'll need to open that sucker up and properly re-seat the LCD cable.

thank you it worked
this is not working for me. Do I need to get the cable properly reseated?
Make sure it's on the left side, middle to top. Worked great for me.
Omg it actually worked!!! Don't think this is a hoax--dropped iPad last night and colors were totally off. Three good whacks to the back left and totally back to normal! Wow!
OMG indeed! I dropped it in its case and the colors were totally off, scrambled, it wasn't usable. Ten whacks to the upper middle left and presto! Woohoo! Saved me an expensive repair bill. GREAT advice!!!
So I just knocked my iPad off the side and my screen went very fuzzy and the colours changed,I read this and I smacked it a few times on the back and nothing seemed to have happened,I then smacked all parts of the back of the iPad,I turned it back round and it had looked like nothing had happened however when I was scrolling down to read a few more of the suggestions,I had started panicking at this point however I was scrolling down for more for approxametly 20 seconds,I looked back at my screen to try another suggestion and then it was SUDDENLY back to normal if not better I 100% recommend trying this as it worked an absolute dream for me x

Someone please I need somebody’s help NOW! My iPad Air 2 just dropped today and I can’t get it fixed, while I was watching YouTube videos, I thought that the colors looked weird, and that was I thought. My entire iPad has been punished with blue, pink, fuzzy green, and red colors. I was looking up here, and the only way is to smack and whack it. I tried it and it can’t do the trick. I did it almost 100 times roughly whacking it, but it just made it worse. Please help me here, I can’t deal with flashing colors.

Mine too!! God! It actually didn't work ☹️☹️☹️☹️ What we do now???
take it in for repair so the LCD cable can be put back in place.
tried tapping the back of my iphone but it didn’t work at all.

this is for IPads... the phones are more sturdy and have different set up... take it for repair... to have the display cable securely connected.
wow, i was starting to panic
i did both a few solid slaps and a few punches (but hitting with the soft squishy part of my fist not my knuckles) but that didnt get me anywhere, so after reading through all these comments i though, every one is saying to hit it solidly on the left hand side, so i took a hit near the bottom and the on the top of the ipad (on the back obviously) with the squishy part of my fist and boom, all the colours clicked back into place
looks live ive got to start taking better care of this thing XD

It worked!! Thank you! I really thought it wouldn’t but it did. Thank you so much!

I left my iPad in the car and it overheated then chasing my screen to be distorted in color. I let it cool off for a while in hopes that's what it was. Whacking it really helped. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
