    Have you tried to restart your ipad? Give that a try and see if that works for you. I have never experienced one entire screen to be nonfunctional, or in your situation minus 4 that work.

    Hi and welcome to the Forum!

    Yes this is highly unusual, as Skimonkey suggests do a restart and if that doesn't do the trick, a reset is the next step
    Restart: Press and hold the power off button, the one at the top right. You will see a slide appear to power off, slide this and the screen will go dark and a Whirly will appear. When the Whirly disappears your iPad is now off. Press the power button again until the Apple logo appears, this will take a few seconds and your iPad will start again. You should restart your iPad occasionally also as it will keep it running smoothly. Now see if it is operating. If not a reset is the next step.

    Reset: Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and you will see the power off slide appear and disappear, wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start.
