Yes it does, good thinking, will save a lot of work in the future. Thanks for that.One more thought. Does the touchscreen still work in the areas where the screen is black? If so, when you connect via AirPlay to your Apple TV you can connect to iTunes on your computer to create a backup of the iPad without having any problems entering passwords and such on the iPad, even in the areas where the iPad screen is black; just watch the TV screen for guidance. This backup could be used to set up her new iPad.
If the line changes when I smacked or press on the screen is it the connection problem?That looks like compression damage to the lcd , likely on the bottom near the home button. Or it could be a loose cable going from the lcd to the logic board.
Try the following:
1.Hard reset by holding the home and power button for 10 seconds.
2. If that doesn't work , give the iPad a good solid smack on the back the same side as the volume buttons but towards the bottom.
3. Apply some pressure to the screen, near the home button. Does anything change?
The odds are likely that the lcd needs to be replaced. That is either a mini 1or 2 ( I'm guessing 2). A good third party repair shop should only charge $150 or so to replace it.
If you still have warranty or apple care, take it to the Apple Store. Otherwise, they will just tell you to buy a new one so don't bother.
