Try the third suggestion in this support article. If you still have no luck, it’s probably time to contact Apple for help.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

I have no idea what a hard shut down is. Have you tried a forced restart?

iPad models that don't have a Home button: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.
iPad with Home button, iPhone 6s or earlier, and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons until you see the Apple logo.
