Q: My iPad wont turn on? but apple logo appears

I was having the same problem where my iPad was not getting past the apple logo before dying.  I tried the methods posted, mainly turning off the iPad before getting further in the startup process, and got to the spinning icon, but I think it was dying too fast to plug it back in at that point.  Nothing seemed to be working and it seemed to be a battery issue.  I then looked up how to charge an iPad faster and realized that I was using a iPhone jack (5 watt) instead of an iPad jack (12 watt).  I found my iPad jack and plugged it in, turned off the iPad when it started up like someone suggested, and now my iPad is working great!  I read that a speaker jack may also have higher wattage than an iPhone jack, but that a computer jack is even weaker than an iPhone jack. 

Quick edit--the iPhone jack is 5 volts and the iPad jack is 12 volts.

Thank you for this information!  My iPad is now back among the living.

I Followed these instructions up to repeating 3and 4, holding down the start and home buttons. I did this, as instructed and eventually after about 30-40 times, instead of the Apple appearing it had the power lead telling to plug into iTunes. As soon as it did this, I kept the home button ONLY pressed, connected to iTunes where it immediate said it needed to restore. clicked on and released home button........sorted! Within half an hour, after being without my iPad for over a year thinking it was a goner, it was as new, especially as I just set it back to factory. Great advice from many of the members. Mine was sorted by combining three members advice. Thank you all!!!!

This was great advise, so easy and it worked for me; thanks!

Great research my friend.....i had the same problem, i followed your steps and it work for me.

i had the same problem yesterday. i tried doing that & it didnt work. what did for me was the whole night i left it off the charger, & then this morning put it on again & didnt mess with it, & it turned back on. hope this works for you!

Before restoring in recovery mode, it’s suggested to try the following methods which don’t need a restore, especially under the situation that you don’t have a most recent backup:

1. Force the iPad to restart;
2. Use Volume Up, Home and Wake/Sleep button combination; (Video Tutorial)
3. Fix the iOS to normal mode using a third-party tool.
