iPad Air Line through iPad Air 3rd gen screen

[srosk265]

Never dropped my iPad or exposed it to the elements. Carry it in a keyboard case. Turned it on few days ago and there was a line going across the screen. Then I turned off and back on, the whole screen was messed up.

let it sit for a bit and now it seems fine. Kinda freaked me out. I have an iPad Air 3. Trade in, I can get 250 for it. Would it be a good idea to trade in for an iPad 9th gen, or should I see if they can repair it?

It depends on whether you have Applecare+ for it. If the issue can be reproduced, it might be worth getting a repair estimate, but it's possible it might run more than $250 without Applecare+ depending on the diagnosis.
