Hi, so a few days ago I was just turning on my iPad, and then I noticed a black bar on my screen. I didn’t do anything to my iPad so I’m confused on why it’s there. I’ve already tried restarting it. If anyone could tell me how to fix it id be so thankful ❤️
Is this a good question?

Hi Amara,
I have a niece named Amara; it's not a common name here in the US.
Anyway, probably a good idea to get a second opinion, but it looks like a row of dead pixels to me. Assuming you never see anything in that black bar at any time, like when it's booting or just charging or whatever, then I'd say you probably need to replace the LCD.
I know you said nothing happened to it, but the flex cable that attaches to the glass is extremely delicate and can fail for the most minor of reasons, and that's what it sounds like happened to your screen. Here's a guide showing you how to replace the LCD.
