    Question Flashing keys

    Hi Everyone, Sometimes the keys on my iPad have a life of their own and flash on and off on their own. I've tried powering off completely. This sometimes helps, but mostly doesn't. Any ideas out there?

    The next stage is possible a reboot. Turn off the iPad. Now press and hold the Power and Home buttons for a while (10-12 seconds) until the white Apple logo appears. The iPad will reboot - it takes a while. No apps or user data will be lost. See then if the problem persists.

    Thanks Tim, sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on.
