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.



Note: 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.


Otherwise:

If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

I have same problem with IPhone X my work around is use side button to close screen and then open screen again, works for a while then I have to do it again. My firmware is up to date. It's funny this reminds me of when my battery would die after I did a firmware update. Apple are you trying to make me upgrade my phone?
