iPad Mini 5 will not boot up

Technically, it turns on but the screen only lights up in black. I have already tried holding down the home and power buttons. Also tried leaving it plugged in to its power cord for a while. Nada.

iPad Mini 5, iPadOS 14

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.
