iPad died after update on 1 Feb 2021

After I finished using the iPad last night, I decided to install the latest system update. The iPad switch off and I haven't been able to turn it back on since. Holding down the various buttons doesn't work. Did this update kill my iPad?

iPad Air, iOS 12

If iPad isn’t responding, do one of the following:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen.
