Q: Wife's iPad Mini is dead

Wife's iPad Mini has no display. Holding down the Home and Sleep keys reboots it successfully, but the display goes black 3 seconds after the reboot. Battery is at 96%.

 

Have tried plugging it into my MacBook Air, but iTunes says it could not connect because the iPad is locked with a passcode. The passcode can't be entered because there is nothing but a black screen.

 

Has this iPad reached the end of its life? I'm sure that taking it to Apple for repair would exceed the cost of the iPad.

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
