Apple has launched a service programme for the iPad Air (2019) models that are affected by a “Blank Screen” issue. The Cupertino giant has announced that the issue has impacted a “limited number” of third-generation iPad Air models that were launched last year. Affected consumers can visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider with their iPad Air to get it serviced. Alternatively, the company has provided mail-in service via its Apple Repair Centres in select markets. The service programme for the iPad Air (2019) is notably live across the globe and covers faulty devices for two years after first retail purchase.

Under certain circumstances, the issue appears when the affected iPad Air (2019) may go blank permanently. “A brief flicker or flash may appear before the screen goes blank,” Apple noted on its page while defining the 'iPad Air (3rd Generation) Service Program for Blank Screen Issue'.

The company added that the affected iPad Air devices were manufactured between March and October 2019. Also, the programme doesn't include any other iPad models.

If you're amongst the affected s, you should visit your nearby Apple Authorised Service Provider or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store. You can also opt for the mail-in service after ing Apple , if you're living in the US or any other ed markets. s in India can also visit any of the Apple Authorised Service Providers to avail a free fix for the Blank Screen issue.

It is recommended for s to back up their iPad to iCloud or their computer before sending them for service. Further, it is important to note that the service programme doesn't extend the standard warranty of the iPad Air (2019).
