My grandmother got a new iPad and after setting it up for her, I noticed that it has a sporadic screen flicker on the top 1/5 or so of the screen. Rebooting, OS update and adjusting other settings doesn’t fix it. The box seemed to have dents, indicating it was possibly dropped, so I suspect maybe a display cable may be loose.
I’ve seen videos of people able to fix this by pressing on the rear of the iPad to try to reseat the cable. Before I have her bring it back to Apple to look at, I was just going to ask a few things.
1.) is this common among other iPads that it’s a known display defect?
2.) has anyone ever fixed the issue themselves, that didn’t require opening it up?
Appreciate any feedback.
