    I am having a similar problem. My iPad3 won't respond to finger slide. I was able to connect it to my MacBook and have reset to factory settings via iTunes. (I have done this 2 times). I have held down both buttons for up to 30+ seconds. I get the "Hello, Hola," etc. screen but it won't respond to one, two or three finger swipe. There is a  small "i" in a circle (information?) button, but pressing or holding down on that also give no response. Is this a hardware problem? I've had this for, maybe, 3 years - purchased new.  ----

     

    Add'l info: Photos opens on my laptop but when I choose my iPad device, a statement tells me I may need to unlock my device first.

    I can triple click the home button to get voiceover to work and also disable voiceover

    I can press both home and sleep buttons quickly and hear that a screenshot has occurred.

    If the screen doesn't react to any of your touches it might be a hardware issue
