My my Apple products that I’m buying now don’t last very long. I think it’s because the batteries are really crappy. I feel like the products are just going downhill and I’ve been ripped off. My iPad died after I did a security update last night and I don’t even wanna bother going to the Apple store. I’ve spent time on the Internet trying to figure out how to start it and nothing works. I’m so frustrated that I’m just done done.

The Burping of all measures worked for me; I thought you got to be kidding me, but you weren’t, and I can only recommend to at least try this. Thanks for this advice.

Why are most of the suggestions here based on using features from a device that is on!!! Geez, the title is “My iPad will not turn on: How to fix a dead device”, not, “Do a whole bunch of things with your working device”

How do I turn my iPad on it will not wake up?

My wife’s iPad Air 3rd Generation doesn’t switch on after being put to sleep. It takes repeated attempts of pressing the On/Off button quickly in succession – up to 40 or 50 times in worst cases but can be as few as 5 or 6 – until it does ‘wake up’. Apple Support have been very willing to help but have been unable to fix it or suggest what might be wrong. Any thoughts?

I normally don’t write comments on a website, but I have a really old iPad 2009ish (around there), and it wasn’t turning on. I held the power button and the home button while screen was flickering for just a couple of seconds for the iPad to show the battery icon charging! Haha, I thought this was playing when it said to hold for 30 minutes, but I’m glad that it took much shorter time. Good tip!

My iPad won’t charge. It ran out of battery with Airplane mode turned off. I am unable to access settings, even with the device plugged in, to turn airplane mode back on so it will charge.

The charger works when airplane mode is turned on. But airplane mode is off so the iPad is not charging.

How do I access settings? The battery is dead, even when it is plugged in. The reason it is not charging is because airplane mode is off. I need to turn airplane mode on so it will charge.

My ipad died and it wont charge, I watched a video on how to fix it and it worked! Well atleast for a little while. The next day i checked if it charged but it didn’t, The battery icon didn’t even show up! Every time i tried to turn it on it only showed some white lines and turned off again.. At this point i thought it was broken. But i still tried to fix it, This ipad is atleast 1 year old and it has a crack on the left of it that shows its wiring. It still worked with the big crack on the left but it had some trouble charging, Any ideas on how to fix this?

have recently had a problem with my iPad Air 2. Even after being on charge all night and the battery showing100% the screen goes blank or shows the charging battery display. on ocasion it came to life but then dies again. I have tried a forced restart which had no effect. I then reset All Settings but still showed battery charging display. When connecting the iPad to iTunes it is not recognised.
I have now run out of suggested “cures” from various internet sites and would appreciate any assistance that might be out there!
Nothing too technical please.

I wanted to say thank you for the troubleshooting tip. My iPAD 2 wouldn’t turn on after I had fully charged it. I had unplugged the power cord from the wall, but left the connector attached my iPAD. Not sure if that caused the issue. I thought it may have been the cable itself, so I purchased another one after trying multiple outlets to see if it was the cord. My iPAD screen stayed black. I googled what was going and found your site. I had already tried to reset it, but the problem stayed the same. But after following your step on opening iTunes with my iPAD connected to my computer, it detected my iPAD and did a software update. The software is up to date. Looks like my battery drained, but there must have been a software issue. Thanks again for the help.

I have iPad 5th generation. i bought in year 2017.
It was in charging and after full charge, i used for 4 hour then i plugged in to charge. after few hour i found that it is completely black screen. when i connecting charger then nothing happening and right bottom at back side is getting little hot. when i shown to apple care then they are saying that board is damaged.

i didnt take back up of any photo present inside it. i want those as those are some of old memories.
Need your support.

I tried 4 hour charging, changed charger, plugged in to itune but nothing helping me. Also tried to start in DFU mode but still no result. all the time it is showing black screen.

In reply to Brota. If you have a 2019 iPad it is covered under AppleCare and can be replaced by Apple for free under defective device. All Apple devices come with a 1 year of coverage and an option to extend the coverage up to 3 years. Why would you not do a free exchange on a device that is under warranty?

I have a 2019 ipad. I hardly used it. It’s been a brick for about 4 months now. I’ve tried every fix people have suggested. I’ve proabably knvsted 35-40 hrs trying to revive it. Even when I do the hard reset and connect it to itunes. it still wont come back on. It starts the process aand I’ve left it alone for up to 2 days and iot still doesn’t work.

I’m highly diappointed in my ipad. My last one lasted 6years. The quality is just not there anymore. .. and My wifes volume button gets stuck trying to tuen up constanty on hers even though it isnt being pushed. I bought these both at Bestbuy at the same time.
