Question

New iPad completely died, kicked the bucket, joined the choir celestial,

OK I have a dead iPad. It showed 100% charged when I worked on it a few minutes ago. I tried to turn it on again and nothing happens. The screen is black. No response to any buttons. iTunes will not see it when I plug it into the computer so I assume it is irrevocably and totally dead.

I can't find any clues in the Apple documents as to what to do next.

Anybody? If you have a clue (and not a guess) could you please help?

24" iMac 3.06GHz/500GB/4GB RAM/8800 GS, Mac OS X (10.6), Rogers Mobile Internet, 60g iPod (colour), 16GB iPod Touch

Have you tried simultaneously holding down the lock button and home button for at least 10 seconds?

Try a hard reset. Press Home button + Sleep button for about 20 seonds and observe, if your iPad comes back to life this way.

Duh! I should have remembered when my iPod Touch did the same thing. I had to hold in the power and home buttons for a minute or two and the little guy finally rebooted.

Thanks guys!
