You need to do a hard reset. Hold down power and home button for 20 sec.
Hope it helps.

You broke the backlight.
Try to fix it, maybe you disconnected a connection.

Yea that worked I was freaking out also. Seems to happen if the iPad is on while you undo the cables.

One of the Common pitfalls / issues is that the Back-light fuse blows..
Yes there is a fusible link that can blow / burn out.
If the Digitizer / LCD is removed with the power on etc.
Obviously try the DFU or boot method first, but two out of two Ipad 2 have done this on me recently.
Google it...
I have had two do this recently.
Worked with a broken Digitizer, then pulled apart and replaced, and obviously disconnected the LCD.
And low and behold op comes a very dim, if visible at all display..
Suggest you look at the You Tube clips and decide if the repair is within you capabilities..

Very simple repair. Hold the power button down until the "Slide To Power Off" screen shows up. Give it several seconds to shutdown then push the Power button to restart it. You get a bright screen again.
