hi! so, I recently found an old ipad, that doesn’t have any cracks and it’s in perfectly good condition; however, it doesnt turn on. it has a black screen and some lines, colors like green, white, blue, red, and white. the lines like that >>
also, i am not sure what type of ipad this is. but, i’m just wondering if i can be fix it myself or will I need to get another one because it doesn’t work?
Your photograph suggests a display or GPU failure - that will require repair. Whether or not a potential repair is viable, or cost effective, will be determined by your iPad model.
You might attempt a forced-restart...
Note: If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen.

Hi there,
You cannot fix it yourself, I wouldn't repair outside of apple unless it was free :)
guessing for what iPad it might be from the bezel I can see in the screenshot, you might not be able to get a paid replacement at Apple (after a certain product/part age repair/replacement (paid or not) is not an option) .
At the back, close to the bottom there should be a serial no Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support add it in the box and you'll find what iPad is it and if you can get a paid replacement.

Whilst I freely concede that a forced restart is unlikely to clear the issue, the OP has nothing to lose by attempting to do so.
As for your second comment, if the attempted restart does produce a response, other outcomes are possible.
this cannot be fixed with forced restart, nor the issue is about it being frozen or won't start .....
is my ipad broken or can it be fixed?
