Q: iPad suddenly turned off while using it and won't power up at all
Hello,
Yesterday, I was using "Sketches Pro" on my iPad (4th Generation) WIFI+SIM and all of a sudden, it turned off.
The battery was 95% charged.
I barely use my iPad so it hasn't been dropped to have some hardware damage.
I've tried the Power + Home buttons simultaneously several times but still the iPad is not powering up at all!
I also tried charging it for few hours, and no life signs.
Connected to iTunes, the iPad was not detected.
PS: iOS is the most recent update, I can't remember the number, since there has been so many lately.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You
iPad, iOS 9.3.1

Try Recovery Mode. If that does not help you may have no choice but to take it to an Apple Store for hardware evaluation.
Turn off your iPhone.
Connect the phone charging cable to the computer only (not to the iPhone yet).
Open iTunes on your computer.
Press and hold the power button on your phone and don’t let go.
Connect the cable to the phone while keeping the power button pressed down.
Wait until the computer detects the phone and wait for it to restore.
Restore as New first and then restore from backup(s) if desired.
