iPad won't turn on...

Helped so much.
Thank you.

Worked for us too! Much obliged.

Can anyone advise why this happens? If it is due to user error i would like to avoid again as i had a little bit of panic when it wouldnt switch on.

Can you tell us why this happens? Sounds like these problems have been going on for over 6months. I just got my iPad (been using it for less than 24hours) and this happened to me, too. I don't think this is a 'bug' for 'early adopters' at this point. Is it going to keep happening? This is a pretty expensive thing to have it crash every day.

Thanks, worked for me too.

thanks for that tip.... worked great 🙂 but I would also like to know how to stop it doing it again.... what if it does it and doesn't come back on again when its no longer under warranty?

Thank you for this suggestion. It worked for me!! Happy New Year!!

I've had my ipad for less than a week. I've, also, had the "won't turn on" problem. I looked at the forum and did a reset. The product is, fairly, new but it HAS been out long enough to resolve the issue. If anyone gets a reply from apple about this, please share it with us.
And...Now we hear that the next generation is coming out in a couple of months and has a camera. I would have waited. Has anyone else heard the rumor?
Thanks for your help.This forum saved me when tech. support wasn't available.

OMG..... I was about to lose all sense of realtiy when my iPad didn't comply with my wishes!!! I saw it turn off on my way back to it, but then it wouldn't turn back on!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This post saved alot of heartache and busted knuckles from punching things!!!! Thank you!!! I too have an Apple brand skin on it, i've read signs pointing to possible overheating from these.... Any ideas???

I have ZAGG Shields on front & back, the iPad lives full-time in an Apple case, and doesn't heat up a lick while charging. YMMV in different cases.

Thanks Sirfaba, I just had the same problem and saw your tip saved me by not flipping out 🙂

2 things? YMMV??? And you got a ZAG case on the back or your iPad? nice!

Just had the same thing happen to mine and doing the sleep button/home button trick worked. thanks

That works amazing! I was freaking out that it was dead and that I was screwed! Thanks a lot!

brilliant. I was getting ready to spend hours on sorting this thing out. 2 buttons, 10 seconds, happy chappy!
